New composites, resins, adhesives/sealants, and surface treatments for high-speed commercial airplanes are discussed with an account of the history of their development at NASA and Boeing. Prepreg and adhesive material forms based on PETI-5, which has oligomer molecular weight of about 5000 Da and had the best combination of properties among the candidates, provided large, high-quality composite and sandwich panels and showed promise for fabrication of large components. Much progress was made in developing an environmentally safe, 177 degrees Celsius-durable surface treatment for titanium alloys, but the best treatment, a sol-gel system, did not have needed Mach 2.4 high-speed civil transport (HSCT) requirements. The other big problem was fuel tank sealants. The US will in time build a fleet of high-speed commercial planes, but not Mach 2.4.

Small-to-medium thrust powerplants are the focus of attention of major civil aero-engine manufacturers. Current trends call for the development of new technology engines for the latest aircrafts of McDonnell Douglas Corp. and Boeing Co. Intense competition to supply high-power engines to carriers with diminished long-range fleet requirements also prevails. Mergers and acquisitions are also becoming popular among aero-engine manufacturers.
