Foreword by Prof. Dipankar Banerjee
If the world has shrunk rapidly in recent centuries, this has been in no small measure due to the impact of materials on aerospace transport. The specific fuel consumption of commercial aircraft has, for example, decreased by an astonishing 70 % using the De Havilland Comet as baseline. The reliability of their propulsion systems allows long-haul flights that encircle the globe, travelling non-stop for 15–20 h. We
