Abstract
Due to growing concerns about climate change, new regulations have emerged that limit the use of non-renewable synthetic materials. Therefore, sustainable bio-based materials have seen a growing interest in recent years. Among those, bio-composites are the most promising, due to their lightweight and good mechanical properties compared to more conventional materials. Researchers have thus tried to assess the potential use of those sustainable composites in high-end applications, such as aerospace, as a replacement to synthetic petroleum-based composites (e.g. carbon fibre composites). The goal of this study is to summarise the current knowledge on bio-based composites and to try to draft a conclusion about their potential use in structural parts of aircraft. It also tries to reveal gaps in the current knowledge about biocomposites to provide researchers with some paths to follow to better understand their properties.
