The industry's materials: SNIAS and general conditions of its environment
Abstract
An overview of the physical characteristics, service life, and prevalent environmental conditions of aircraft and spacecraft construction materials is presented. Emphasis is placed on light weight, high strength metal alloys, and various fiber reinforced composite materials. The role these materials play in the construction of supersonic and subsonic transport aircraft, satellites, civil aircraft, helicopters, and missile engines is charted.
