Are there any alloys of titanium that are not as brittle as pure titanium?

Applications such as airplane and boat construction could use the lightness and strength of titanium, but titanium is not flexible enough.

Are there any alloys of titanium and other metals that offer greater flexibility without breaking, and yet are light and strong like titanium?
