Materials Research Agenda for the Automobile and Aircraft Industries

This volume presents a materials research agenda for the commercial aircraft and automobile industries for the next two decades. Two case studies are used as a basis for discussion: the 50-mile-per-gallon, 5-passenger sedan and the high-speed civil transport. Also identified are those general materials drivers and the materials research required for each field.Table of ContentsFront MatterExecutive SummaryIntroductionAutomotive and Aircraft IndustriesMaterials Research Agenda for the Automotive IndustryMaterials Research Agenda fr the Civil Aircraft IndustryReferencesAppendix A: Workshop AttendeesAppendix B: Biographical Sketches of Committee Members
