Abstract
Aeronautic industry is on the trend of development and more comforts are being incorporated in the aircrafts. On the other hand it is necessary to achieve stringent demand of fuel economy and high performance at low cost. To achieve high fuel economy the aeronautics manufacturers are induced to reduce weight in the possible fields. Light weight composite materials like carbon fiber for the impeller of aerodynamic compressors have been used to achieve the requirements of the aeronautics industry. The paper is focused on the FEM modeling and experimental determination of the two tests of the composite material characteristics used for the impeller of aerodynamic compressors.
