ideas for a lecture in "new technologies in aircraft structure"

Hi everybody...

One of my doctors wants to give a practical and a little technical lecture about "new technologies in aircraft structure" and he is requisting ideas from us...


What practical ideas can be presented ?

notice that we could have more than one idea in the same lecture


I'm thinking in composite materials , honey structure, flying wing ...


your recommendations are needed
