There's mentions on many threads about material temperature limits, especially around composites (resin systems) but also adhesives (this article), 3D printed materials, etc.

This article serves as a good (if somewhat bizarre) reminder that setting your environmental limits is non-trivial -- you may be building a plane in Canada, but the next owner may park it outdoors in Phoenix on 45 °C days; and the next one may decide to film Top Gun 3 in it!
