“…37 The concepts have undergone subsequent development, including design optimization 38 " 40 and concept verification testing at both the elemental and component levels. 40 ' 42 The latter, which were completed late in 1978, includes tests of both beaded and tubular panels as part of a hot wing structure that was tested in the Flight Loads Research Facility at Dryden Flight Research Center. During these tests the wing was subjected to combined thermal and structural loads, including temperatures up to 1000 K and loads up to the maximum design conditions.…”

This paper provides a review of some of the advances of the past decade in structures and materials that have application to future space transportation systems. The paper concentrates on metallic thermal protection systems and structures that could provide the structural efficiency, reliability, and durability dictated by future space utilization requirements. The need for completely reusable, onboard cryogenic fuel tanks is cited as the most challenging technical opportunity, and potential thermostructural concepts for tanks are identified. Other critical areas needing technology advances are discussed. Finally, the unique research opportunities offered by the Shuttle Orbiter experiments program for testing structures and thermal protection systems are explored.
