Abstract:
Superplastically formed/diffusion bonded (SPF/DB) titanium sandwich structure offers a lightweight, cost-efficient approach to meeting the 60,000 hour, 350 \mdF structural life requirement of the high-speed civil transport (HSCT). an innovative multi- sheet SPF/DB crossweb sandwich panel offers improved durability and damage tolerance characteristics over conventional four-sheet SPF/DB panels. In addition, new titanium alloys and improved fabrication techniques have increased the structural efficiency and durability of this structure for application to HSCT wing panels and substrcture.
