The present invention relates to a high strength Al-Zn alloy product with an improved combination of corrosion resistance and toughness, the alloy including essentially (in weight percent): Zn: 6.0-9.5, Cu: 1.3-2.4, Mg: 1.5-2.6, Mn and Zr<0.25 but preferably in a range between 0.05 and 0.15 for higher Zn contents, other elements each less than 0.05 and less than 0.25 in total, balance aluminium, wherein (in weight percent): 0.1[Cu]+1.3<[Mg]<0.2[Cu]+2.15. The invention also relates to a method to produce these alloy products, and to some preferred applications thereof such as upper wing applications in aerospace.
