Schra, L. 't Hart, W.G.J. Institution National Aerospace Laboratory NLR Date 1989-01-19 Abstract New impetus to continued use of alximinium alloys in major structural areas of aircraft has been given by the development of aluminium-lithium alloys. However, qualification of these new materials for service requires extensive testing and evaluation, preferably in international cooperative programmes. The evaluation of aluminium-lithium alloys is discussed with particular attention to the balance of properties required to achieve damage tolerant and durable, long-life structures for transport aircraft. An assessment of the current developmental maturity of damage tolerant aluminium-lithium alloys is given.
