It took a few,decades to develop and establish stable production processes, and in the middle of the 19th century,magnesium was available in larger quantities and ready to be used. In fact it met a new technology at,these times: photography. Magnesium was utilized in flashlights and this endured until the end of the 20th century. Of course, flashlights are not a structural application. But with time, in the first years of the 20th century again a step in the technical development took place: the Wright brothers started to fly. It was found out early that wooden airplanes would not do their job at all. Light metal alloys had to be used, and magnesium alloys were part of aeronautics from the beginning. In fact an engine for aircrafts made out,of a magnesium alloy was shown 1909 in Frankfurt, Germany, at the first “Internationale Luftschiffahrt,Ausstellung,” the first international aerospace exhibition. While magnesium was important for aerospace 100 years ago, today it is still looking for acceptance in aerospace industries.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1002/9781118663004} (DOI).
