Russia invented ultra-light materials used in aviation

At a press conference on November 12, the General Manager of the Russian Research Institute Evgeni Kablov said the 1933 ultralight new alloy, or aluminum-lithium alloy, will reduce the aircraft's weight by 30% and Russian missiles, thus also reducing fuel consumption.

Mr. Kablov stressed that one of the important tasks for the aviation industry today is to increase the weight advantage, increase the durability and the time to use the device.

That requirement can be solved by the invention and application of ultralight materials such as aluminum-lithium alloys , materials that allow structural weight reduction of 20-30% and thus lower fuel consumption. material.

This new alloy will replace the existing AK6 alloy and is used in the manufacture of AN-148, SSJ-100 aircraft, as well as military and missile airplanes.
