Description/Abstract:
In relatively few instances have engineering materials been required to maintain structural integrity at temperatures in excess of 1400°C (2550°F). In project Pluto this requirement is further complicated by a variety of conditions incidental to flight in the upper and/or lower atmosphere. Information available in the literature regarding material properties and behavior under such conditions is incomplete. Certain vital data seem to be almost entirely missing.
