Early in aviation history, designers identified a material they called "unobtanium" a material that would make their theoretical designs possible if only it was readily available. Today, aerospace engineers and researchers have discovered that a combination of composites and titanium could help them achieve their dreams. The challenges that remain are in the thermal processing of these materials, including dealing with surface oxide scale and hydrogen absorption during heat treating.
