This papers aims to review the state-of-the-art and different steps of the introduction of composites in aircraft structures. After recalling some particular behavior of composites, programs, significant developments and technical breakthroughs from the 70s until today will be presented. The nowaday’s design methodology known today as "black metal" will be illustrated. Finally some trends and recent advances will be shown which will highlight also the researches trends in the field of composite structures.
