This book is based largely upon a series of lecturers given by the authors at New York University. Similar lecturers were also given to a miscellaneous group composed of engineers, hopmen, and purchasing department employees of a large aircraft manufacturer. During the past few years, rapid advancements have been,, made in aircraft performance, structural materials, and processes. Advances in the quality of new materials, such as titanium, high-temperature, materials, plastics, and super-strength, steels, indicate that these new materials should find wide use in the, aircraft industries in the near future, Emphasis has been placed on the effects of heat from aerodynamic heating and jet engine beating on aircraft materials in order to, help the engineer select the most efficient materials. The author has included all of the. Latest processes, materials, and specifications. Dorothy Kent
