I am amazed at the, apparently almost exclusive, use of formed composites for the entire skin of the aircraft. This was an aircraft skin design no no for a long time because of the susceptibility of graphite filled epoxy composites to failure under shock and/or point loading even though the specific strength/rigidity was better than any metal. I wonder what the composition of the composites used now are comprised of. Anyone know? |
