Ultralight material also has elastic properties. Some ultralight materials are designed with more pores to allow the structure to have better heat transfer, which is needed for many materials, like pipes for example. [3] [1] In compression experiments, ultralight materials almost always show complete recovery from strains exceeding 50%.
It is the first production car launched into space. The car, mounted on the rocket's second stage, was launched on an escape trajectory and entered an elliptical heliocentric orbit crossing the orbit of Mars. [6] The orbit reaches a maximum distance from the Sun at aphelion of 1.66 astronomical units (au). [4]
Space manufacturing or In-space manufacturing (ISM in short) is the fabrication, assembly or integration of tangible goods beyond Earth's atmosphere (or more generally, outside a planetary atmosphere), involving the transformation of raw or recycled materials into components, products, or infrastructure in space, [3] where the manufacturing ...
A metallic microlattice is a synthetic porous metallic material consisting of an ultra-light metal foam. With a density as low as 0.99 mg/cm 3 (0.00561 lb/ft 3 ), it is one of the lightest structural materials known to science. [ 1 ]
Aerospace materials are materials, frequently metal alloys, that have either been developed for, or have come to prominence through their use for aerospace purposes. These uses often require exceptional performance, strength or heat resistance, even at the cost of considerable expense in their production or machining.
The General Motors Ultralite was a 1992 low emission vehicle concept car intended to demonstrate the benefits of advanced materials and low fuel consumption.. It was rated at 88 miles per US gallon (2.7 L/100 km; 106 mpg ‑imp) by the EPA, [1] but could achieve 100 miles per US gallon (2.4 L/100 km; 120 mpg ‑imp) at a steady state cruising speed of 50 mph.

Kevlar (para-aramid) [2] is a strong, heat-resistant synthetic fiber, related to other aramids such as Nomex and Technora.Developed by Stephanie Kwolek at DuPont in 1965, [3] [2] [4] the high-strength material was first used commercially in the early 1970s as a replacement for steel in racing tires.
Today, this is known as "the first Marcus car" but would be better described as a cart. His second car, built and run in 1875 according to some sources, was the first gasoline-driven car and is housed at the Vienna Technical Museum. [30] [31] However, the latest research shows that it was not built until 1888/89. [32]
