An aerospace industry tradition: every new aircraft program includes new aluminum product innovations
Boeing 747-8 Boeing 787 Airbus A380 Airbus A350XWB
Innovations include the application of advanced metallic material technology from the 777 family to the 747 platform.
First Aluminum Lithium Large Commercial Aircraft plate application Alcoas newest plate product selected for multiple applications. Aluminum continues to be a focus of Boeing teams targeting challenging weight goals
New sheet & plate product inventions. Aluminum lithium extruded floor structure. Worlds largest fuselage panels and largest wing skins. Each A380 consumes 7X metal required by a single aisle Increasing build rate in 2011
A new generation of large twin aisles entering service in 2011 extending the 747 well past 2020
EIS 2015 Build rates forecasted to exceed 10 aircraft per month by 2016

Aluminum continues to be the material of choice when missions and performance are matched
Premature judgments about aluminum obsolescence?
Bombardier CSeries: Aluminum intensive airframe The Mitsubishi Regional Jet: Initial Design: Composite wings Sept 2009 Redesign: Aluminum wings AVIC ARJ-21: Aluminum intensive airframe
Gerson Lehrman Group Inc. concludes that new aluminum-lithium alloys will be the material of choice over composites for narrow-body airliners, citing aluminums damage tolerance, manufacturability and recyclability.

Our new technologies provide step-change improvements since the B787 design
Material selection for the 787: right decision at the right time. BUT times have changed and a lot has happened between then and now. Alcoa has developed completely new alloys that allow for: - Up to 10% lighter than composite-intensive planes - Lower risk and 30% less expensive to manufacture, operate and repair than composite-intensive planes - Provide passenger comfort features that are equivalent to composite-intensive planes (such as large windows, higher humidity and higher cabin pressure)

Performance
Time 787 Design Freeze Ready Now Supports EIS 2015 & Beyond
Optimized Fuselage Structure options - using validated technologies - offer more than just advanced materials
Selective Reinforcement:
Adv. Fuselage Concept
What Is It?
Can use bonded fiber-metal laminates instead of Al or Ti straps They save weight by allowing much thinner skins to meet damage tolerance goals Yes already applied on A400M center fuselage frames

The combination of Alcoa solutions & new engines delivers new short range aircraft that meets or exceeds targets
Higher Aspect Ratio Wing Enabled by Al-Li and Advance Structural Concepts Aerodynamic efficiency improvements Corrosion Resistant Advanced Alloys, Al-Li Alloys & Product Forms 3% - 7% Lower Density Significantly Improved Corrosion Resistance Tailored Products & Forms Low Buy-to-Fly Solutions Low Residual Stress Products
Improvements for a New Single Aisle / Short Range Aircraft (EIS >2020) 22% 27% more fuel efficient (Assumes 15%
efficiency improvement from new engines)
6% - 10% lower empty weight 100% increase in structural and corrosion inspection intervals Increased passenger comfort
Advanced Structural Concepts (Damage Tolerance Improvement of Critical Areas) Up to 10x Improved Damage Tolerance Performance Reduced inspection burden through SHM Enables Increased Cabin Pressurization Larger windows Cabin pressure (to 6,000 ft. alt)

Alcoa: the Al Li pioneer now rolls out a third generation of new corrosion resistant alloys for longer inspection intervals*
Exfoliation Corrosion: 3rd Gen Al-Li alloys are highly resistant to exfoliation corrosion Stress Corrosion: 3rd Gen Al-Li alloys have doubled their resistance to stress corrosion
7150-T6511 specimens fastened and coated -- severe exfoliation propagated from coating defects after moderate seacoast exposure
Al-Li 2099-type specimens with no coating -- No exfoliation occurred after prolonged seacoast exposure

Lets not forget some very important additional advantages of metallic designs (safety, weight, cost)
Metallic aircraft have intrinsic multi-functionality (including electromagnetic field and current return properties)
Eliminates the need for a metallic current return system work around (copper mesh, bus bar, etc) Eliminates need for an estimated ~1,000 kgs for a twin aisle aircraft

We are confident our value proposition can be relevant across the industry
Our Confidence is buttressed from two sources: We are receiving positive acceptance of our Value Proposition from other OEMs who have been wrestling with similar material choices We have conducted a sizeable, market acceptance research study of our own that included many of your own customers and other members of the broader A&D community

Delivering on our solutions shifts the industry towards favoring metallic structures
As of today, whats your overall perception of aluminum and composites as a primary structural material for new aircraft? How likely would you recommend Alcoa's "next gen" technology as the primary structural material on future aircraft if it can deliver:
Up to 10% lighter than composite-intensive planes Lower risk and 30% less expensive to manufacture, operate and repair than composite-intensive planes Able to provide passenger comfort features that are equivalent to composite-intensive planes (such as large windows, higher humidity and higher cabin pressure)
More than two-thirds (68%) of industry wide professionals rated aluminum highly as a choice for primary structure applications. In that same survey, aluminum outscored composites by almost 10% in favorability for primary structure
16
Designers and Technologists favored metals the most The more you know the more favorable metals looks to you
Q1. As of today, whats your overall perception of aluminum as a primary structural material for new aircraft? Q2. and, whats your overall perception of composites as the primary structural material for new aircraft?
