ABSTRACT:
A high strength, lightweight, heat resistant control surface for a high speed aircraft such as a missile or the like, comprises a heat resistant lightweight composite such as a graphite reinforced polyimide having a leading edge portion comprising a heat resistant metal such as Inconel. The leading edge portion includes a web fixing the leading edge portion to the composite by bonded attachment thereto at a location remote from the leading edge and adjacent surfaces thereby providing delayed exposure of the bond to leading edge heat buildup during flight.
