An exterior panel is formed of superplastic materials, including an exterior skin of titanium to accommodate high thermal stresses imposed on hypersonic transport vehicles during hypersonic flight. The exterior skin is fixed to an underlying reinforcing skeletal structure consisting of a superplastic formable reinforcement (SFR) layer, for example a titanium, zirconium, and molybdenum (TZM) alloy, which supports the exterior skin whenever the latter may be heated to temperatures exceeding 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. The exterior panel includes a separate interior skin configured for attachment to a frame member such as a rib, stringer, or spar of the hypersonic transport vehicle. A multicellular core is sandwiched between the exterior and interior skins to impart tensile and compressive strength to the exterior panel. In one disclosed method, the core is superplastic formed and diffusion bonded to the exterior and interior skins.

Provided is an alloy comprising eight or more types of constituent elements, wherein the relative difference in terms of distance between nearest neighbors DNN between a constituent element having the largest distance between nearest neighbors DNN when constituting a bulk crystal from a single element and a constituent element having the smallest distance between nearest neighbors DNN when constituting a bulk crystal from a single element is 9% or less, the number of constituent elements having the same crystal structure when constituting a bulk crystal from a single element is not more than 3, and the difference in concentration between the constituent element having the highest concentration and the constituent element having the lowest concentration is 2 at. % or lower.
