High-temperature polyimides, such as PMR 15 (which was developed at the NASA Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field), are becoming an increasingly important class of materials for a variety of aerospace applications, such as aircraft engine components and propulsion and airframe components for reusable launch vehicles (RLV's). Because of their high specific strength and low density, use of these materials in place of more traditional aerospace materials, such as titanium, can significantly reduce component and vehicle weight, leading to reductions in fuel consumption (and pollutants), increases in payload and passenger capacity, and improvements in vehicle performance.
