[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 4060039, member: 3099"] Titanium is most definitely not brittle. Sheet titanium will actually turn back flat after hydra forming it. We made some cabin louvres for Gulfstream's cabin air system. Two weeks later they were just as flat as before forming. Titanium has to be hot formed to hold it's shape. It has incredible fatigue strength too and that's why it's used in aerospace from the skin on SR71s to bulkheads in Israeli F-18s back in the day. Carbon Fibre on the other hand... [/QUOTE]
