Aerospace Notes

Abstract

Aerospace engineers investigating new high‐performance heat‐resistant alloys for further gas turbine engines are optimistic about titanium aluminides. If the alloys can be made stronger, titanium aluminides are prime candidates to replace conventional titanium and lower temperature nickel‐base superalloys, which researchers believe lack the heat‐resistant properties that will be required from the next generation of hypersonic aerospace vehicles.
