New alloy could boost next generation jet fighter
A new alloy, aluminum-yttrium-nickel, will be produced at Ames Laboratory's Materials Preparation Center for possible use on the F-35.

The use of this alloy could reduce the weight of the aircraft. Plans are being made to test out the alloy on the F135 engine.
