Description of Boeing Supersonic Transport for which conventional skin-stringer panel construction has been selected for general use on wing, body, and empennage; general technical requirements are presented which led to selection of titanium alloys as basic structural material for Mach 2.7 transport; material properties such as strength, toughness, corrosion and stress corrosion resistance, metallurgical stability, and fatigue are considered, and fabrication characteristics are described.
