“The metal has to be extraordinarily flexible. It has to be ductile. It has to operate in below zero because you're going at altitudes of 60,000 ft and all that.” — Sundepan
Fighter jet engines represent one of the most complex engineering challenges, requiring advanced metallurgy and precision manufacturing that only a handful of nations have mastered.
