		It demonstrates that composite tanks can be used for other reusable launch vehicles in the future." Permeability of composite materials has been a concern for engineers, but this tank withstood pressure testing at cryogenic temperatures that simulated the DC-XA flight environment without leaking hydrogen.
		Composite materials are formed by blending epoxies and various filaments to form strong structures with a variety of aerospace uses.
		The ability to use composites is important to the development of a single-stage-to-orbit reusable launch vehicle because of the weight reduction they provide.

	Carbon Fibre Reinforced Composite Car
		The application of carbon or epoxy composites to a lightweight primary structure is not new, but the process has to date been employed exclusively within the prestige sports and racing car industry.
		However, this approach presented some difficult manufacturing technology challenges since frameworks have complex geometry and joining of composite primary structures is a very labour-intensive process.
		The project also established a novel design and manufacturing technology for carbon fibre composite car bodies, expected to be viable from a manufacturing perspective for producing up to 20,000 cars per annum.

		The goal of the NASA General Aviation Program is to reduce public travel times by half in 10 years and by two-thirds in 25 years.
		To accomplish this goal, NASA and its partners have invested in the revolutionary technologies necessary not only to build the next generation of vehicles for business and personal air transportation but also to train the average person to operate them safely.
		To bring this type of transportation capability to the average person, the vehicles must be easier and safer to operate, and the related training simplified and reduced in cost (both in time and money).

	Chapter 10 - Cox Report
		A third technology priority for the PRC - composite materials - is discussed in the Technical Afterword to this chapter.
		The Defense Technology Security Administration had received information from informants in September 1993 - prior to CATIC's agreement to purchase the machine tools, and a full year before the license was granted - that CATIC personnel had visited McDonnell Douglas's Columbus, Ohio plant and videotaped the machine tools in use, a potentially illegal technology transfer.
		The Defense Technology Security Administration and the Defense Department, on the other hand, were concerned since they thought the machine tools might represent significant excess manufacturing capacity that the PRC might be tempted to divert to other, unauthorized uses.

		Enabling technologies are long-distance non-line-of-sight navigation; autonomous confirmation of goals and concatenation of commands; rock fracture and sampling devices; and deployment of multiple instruments.
		In general, enabling technologies that shift the balance of launched mass/volume/power from the robot to science payload will be key to increased exploration capability, regardless of total launch access payload.
		The demonstration of technology which enables these missions would be "technology pull" in the most intense use of the phrase and lead to missions which could revolutionize our knowledge of the evolution of life and of the formation of the Solar System.

	gizmag Article: Inflatable composite structures enable lightweight transportable buildings
		Founded in 2002, the Center of Excellence for Inflatable Composite Structures headquartered at the Natick Soldier Center’s Collective Protection Directorate has managed a textile technology process to create airbeams that are lightweight and compact.
		Army shelters were the first beneficiaries of airbeam technology, but the technology has transferred to the Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy and NASA with the assistance of industry partners Vertigo Inc. and Federal Fabrics-Fibers Inc.
		“The technology was around, and people were working on inflatables, but there was no standard in the industry in design or performance, so we wanted all the expertise in one place to design (a customer’s) particular composite for different applications,” said Amy Soo Leighton, a chemical engineer on the Fabric Structures Team.
