N2  - "The structural materials used in airframe and propulsion systems influence the cost, performance, and safety of aircraft, and an understanding of the wide range of materials used and the issues surrounding them is essential for the student of aerospace engineering. Introduction to Aerospace Materials reviews the main structural and engine materials used in aircraft, helicopters, and spacecraft in terms of their production, properties, performance, and applications... With its comprehensive coverage of the main issues surrounding structural aerospace materials, Introduction to Aerospace Materials is essential reading for undergraduage students studying aerospace and aeronautical engineering. It will also be a valuable resource for postgraduate students and practicing aerospace engineers."--Publisher's website
