Advanced Titanium Matrix Composite (TMC) materials are being developed for structures that must withstand high temperatures, possess high stiffness and be lighter. Scale-up of the TMC material system from the laboratory environment to large structural components has required significant advancements in design, manufacturing and assembly technology. Numerous large scale, TMC components have been developed, fabricated and tested to verify the feasibility of structural/material concepts for hypersonic vehicles. These articles include thick laminate TMC wing structure, minimum gage TMC fuselage sections, and integrated TMC fuselage/cryogenic tank structure. A summary of the development and testing of these articles is presented in this paper.
