The Choice of Materials for Airframes: A Comparative Survey of Materials likely to be Available and Suitable for the next Generation of Aircraft

Abstract

A review is made of existing and likely future aircraft materials and their choice for use on airframes is discussed in relation to the problems of advanced aircraft design. Both technological and production problems arc included and it is finally suggested that urgent governmental action is required to remedy Great Britain's grave lack of suitable capital equipment.
