General technical requirements are presented which led to the selection of titanium alloys as the basic structural material for a Mach 2.7 supersonic transport. Discussion includes important material properties such as strength, toughness, corrosion and stress corrosion resistance, metallurgical stability, and fatigue. Fabrication characteristics are briefly discussed.
