Abstract
This review article discusses the engineering materials used in aircraft, with a focus on aluminum alloys, titanium alloys and composite materials, including where and why they are most used in aircraft. There are many research papers that deal in detail with materials such as aluminum alloys, titanium alloys and composites used in an aircraft, including theoretical and experimental results. However, the author felt that a review of aircraft materials was necessary, both for himself and to help others interested in similar topics. In addition, the author felt the need of thinking back to the past on what materials used to be prevalent and what materials have superseded them. One such example written in this study is the case of Aluminum that used to be the predominant material in aircraft structural components, has been increasingly supplanted by polymer composites in recent years due to their advantageous properties. It is hoped that from this review article the reader will be able to understand the general trend of recent developments in aeronautical engineering materials and be able to choose which path to follow and which area to focus on in their future research.
