My last post on this subject... Yes it would hold up. Would the adjacent structure? Titanium is much stiffer than aluminum. It could cause a stress concentration in the wing skins and stiffener attachments because the attach angle would not flex as much (be as soft) spanwise. Why keep trying to reinvent the wheel?...
