Several significant metal-matrix structures have been built and tested in recent years. These structures include boron/aluminum tubular struts and stabilizers that are the baseline configuration of the Space Shuttle midfuselage, boron/aluminum wing rib, and landing gear struts. These structures have demonstrated that metal-matrix components can replace all metal structures (both aluminum and titanium) to provide a significant weight saving. It has also been demonstrated that in some instances the use of metal-matrix composites can result in significant cost advantages. (Hannebauer)
