engineers find a new metal that is stronger than steel but much lighter. this material is also significantly cheaper than what is currently used for most aircraft, available in large quantities, and easy to manufacture. the engineers are excited because this new metal will lower companies' costs of buying and operating airplanes. What is the best step for the engineers to make next?

Perform pilot runnings in order to try out its performance in airplanes.

Explanation:

Hello,

Engineering provides powerful tools to implement new materials in several applications, nonetheless, before the application stages, a set of pilot runnings must be performed in order to test the efficiency, reliability and assurance of the aimed material. Tests such as hardness, mechanical and chemical resistance and others are used to establish the viability of the new material, in this case, the aforesaid new metal.

Best regards.
