摘要：— In aero application strength to weight ratio is the main factor to achieve the efficiency of an aircraft. If the structure materials are having high weight there will be some performance loss occurs, so that the researches are carried to reduce the weight of the aircrafts with the same strength. By using the composite material it can be possible. Nowadays composite materials are used instead of aluminium, steel and other ferrous and nonferrous materials. Because of its mechanical and physical properties are higher as compare to such ferrous and nonferrous materials. In this paper the horizontal tail is designed by using S glass fiber with epoxy resin. CATIA V5 is used for designing and analysis purpose. According to the coordinates, this airfoil is fabricated using vacuum bagging process. Tensile and compression tests are carried out over the test laminates. The test laminates are made with ASTM standards. As per the testing result, tensile and compression strengths of the composite material is higher than the aluminium.
