Recently I discussed aircraft materials with an engineer and we discussed the now famous carbon fiber materials being used for aircraft construction.
But he mentioned something I never heard about before called Boron-Aluminum which supposedly is an advanced aircraft material. The few resources for layman that I can find mention that is useful for spacecraft as radiation shielding against neutrons and other high energy particles.
Does anyone know what this Boron-Aluminum might be used for in aircraft construction in general aviation atmospheric aircraft? thanks
