m Materials: changed "A286", a reference to a specific type of stainless steel to the more general "stainless steel" in its first reference in the article, to match the general "titanium" reference in this sentence. A286 is preserved for the later reference. A286 on its own, without link, and without further clarification does not seem well-known enough to include in this article without additional detail.
Line 55:
 
===Materials===
The XB-1 is constructed of lightweight composites, titanium and A286stainless steel.<ref name=Boom25aug2020 /> Materials for the hot [[leading edge]]s and {{cvt|307|°F}} nose, and [[epoxy]] materials for cooler parts, are provided by Dutch [[TenCate Advanced Composites]], high-temperature materials supplier for the SpaceX [[Falcon 9]].<ref name=AvWeek5dec2017/> The [[airframe]] will be primarily intermediate-modulus [[carbon fiber]]/epoxy, with high-[[elastic modulus|modulus]] fibers for the wing spar caps and [[bismaleimide]] [[pre-preg]] for the high-temperature leading edges and ribs.<ref name=AvWeek5dec2017/> The rear section of fuselage containing the engines is made from 90% titanium and 10% A286 stainless steel alloys.<ref name=Boom25aug2020 />
