A combination of a highly efficient thermal insulation, stainless steel foil, and PTFE film resulted in an insulation system which would protect the underside of the wing of the British/French Concorde SST from the heat of its engines. Noise level, engine fire conditions, and penetration by globules of molten titanium were factors which had to be considered in this application.
