Abstract
The paper presents the background of emergence, development and application of lattice and honeycomb structures of flying vehicles. An abrupt improvement of the quality of structural alloys and aircraft and missile manufacturing technologies occurred in the second half of the XX century. In view of the increasing sophistication of the structures and difficulties of applying other technologies, brazing is becoming the most promising Joining process. Brazing filler metals and technologies have been developed, which ensured high performance of aircraft and space vehicles.
Keywords: brazing technology, aircraft engineering, rocket production, lattice wing, honeycomb structure, structural materials, history of engineering
