The paper substantiates possibility of replacing metal alloys with the composite materials in manufacturing parts for aviation, rocket and space systems. The composite materials properties were analyzed, and advantages of the composite materials in comparison with metals and their alloys are presented. Using the SolidWorks computer-aided design system, 3D models of parts used to find the parameters necessary for further research were created. To assess efficiency of using the new materials, a coefficient is proposed that provides economic and technological feasibility of the replacement. Study results indicate that introduction of the composites could reduce material costs in production of the aerospace engineering parts, as well as significantly increase their strength characteristics.
