Abstract
In recent years, significant progress has been made in understanding the behaviour of Fibre Metal Laminates, especially Glare. Now, this material has been chosen to serve as skin material in fuselage sections of the Airbus A380. However, a very challenging task must still be solved. All the available knowledge and research results must be transferred into quality standards and procedures, design and sizing methods in order to meet the stringent requirements set up by clients, airworthiness authorities and Airbus quality standards. Therefore, the following paper describes major activities that are carried out to transfer Glare from an invention into a real innovation in the aerospace industry.
