Advanced technologies can offer substantial performance benefits over legacy technologies.  However, insertion into relevant applications can be challenging.  As an example, the evolution of structural carbon nanotubes will be presented.  Part of the early interest in carbon nanotubes was driven by mechanical properties that have the potential to outperform state-of-the-art structural materials.  Lessons learned from approaches taken to mature the technology for aerospace applications will be used to illustrate factors that should be considered in emerging technology development.
