Revolutionary Materials for Extreme Durability

FAST-Space Corporation has leveraged its proprietary Tantalum-Hafnium Inconel Alloy blended with graphene—originally developed for its spacecraft—to construct the frame and outer skin of the Atmo-Space Jet Engine. This advanced material offers:

1. Unmatched Strength-to-Weight Ratio:
   • Critical for withstanding the extreme forces and vibrations generated during hypersonic flight and atmospheric re-entry.

2. Thermal Resistance:
   • Capable of enduring temperatures exceeding 4000°C, ensuring the engine’s structural integrity during sustained hypersonic speeds and plasma propulsion.

3. Fatigue Resistance:
   • Designed to handle rapid and extreme stress cycles caused by transitioning between atmospheric and space operations.

4. Shock Absorption:
   • High material resilience minimizes structural damage from aerodynamic forces, pressure shocks, and debris impact during hypersonic and spaceflight operations.

By incorporating this alloy into the engine’s construction, FAST-Space ensures that the jet engine remains durable, reliable, and efficient, even under the harshest conditions.
