Aerospace applications supersonic aircraft

During the last decade, many high-temperature adhesives have been synthesized for aerospace applications. Supersonic cruise aircraft adhesives must be durable for tens of thousands of cumulative hours at 232 C (500 F), while spacecraft adhesives must withstand... 

Primary applications of carbon-carbon composite materials are in the aerospace industry, where in spite of their high cost, they can still be very cost effective. The use of carbon-carbon composites for the brakes of the Concorde supersonic aircraft is reported to have produced a weight saving of over 10001b, which translates into significant economies in operation.
