Preventing Aircraft Melting due to Air Friction

Commercial aircraft experience extreme air friction when flying at high speeds, posing a significant challenge to their structural integrity. The friction generates immense heat, which could potentially cause the aircraft to melt or suffer damage. This problem requires a deep understanding of materials science and thermodynamics to develop effective solutions. The challenge lies in finding materials or designs that can withstand such extreme conditions.
