Titanium driveshaft

One class permits it by name, one prohibits it by name, and the other twenty-seven never mention it.

This is one body's answer, not the sport's. You are bound by whichever body sanctions the event you enter, and where both govern you, you are held to the stricter of the two. The differences are set out in the rulebook comparison.

S.5.1 names the titanium driveshaft, impeller housing and stator vane assembly and nothing else. It does not lift the J.7 ban on titanium fasteners.

Where it stands, class by class

29 classes, grouped by the answer rather than listed one by one, because an answer that holds for a class usually holds for every class that borrows its rules.

No rule, this is an open class Our reading, not a rule we can quote at you. This class carries no stock clause at all, so anything unlisted appears to be open. The rulebook does not say so in terms.
