It seems that the Aerospace and Defense Industry will continue to use tin-lead processes & components at least until 2019. Last year, members of the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) gathered to develop a road map for the implementation of a lead-free process for Aerospace & Defense. Since this is just the early stages of the process I'm afraid I cannot make any predictions as far as materials or future technologies. You may access their presentation under the following web page: http://www.aia-aerospace.org/assets/Joint_Government_and_Industry_Executive_Forum_for_Lead_(Pb)-free_Electronics_-.pdf
