THIS PAPER DOCUMENTS THAT APPLICATION OF GT TO EXTENSIVE, COMPOSITE PART MANUFACTURE BY A MAJOR AEROSPACE SUPPLIER. IT DESCRIBES THE PROCESS USED TO CODE AND CLASSIFY USEFUL FEATURES AND ATTRIBUTES OF COMPOSITE PLY AND FINISHED PARTS. THE DEVELOPED DATA STRUCTURE IS DESCRIBED AND EXAMPLES OF THE KINDS OF FEATURE INFORMATION IT CONTAINS ARE INCLUDED. FURTHERMORE, THE RESULTS OF ANALYZING 6,000 PARTS OF AN ADVANCED, MOSTLY COMPOSITE DESIGN BASED ON THIS DATA ARE SUMMARIZED. THE RESULTS SUGGEST THAT GT CAN BENEFIT COMPOSITE PART MANUFACTURE AND THAT IF ACTIVELY APPLIED, CAN SPEED COMPOSITE MATERIAL PARTS MOVE INTO THE MANUFACTURING MAINSTREAM.
