There is also the so-called "delta wood" (resin-wood multi-ply veneer) that was used in some of the WW2 fighters' airframes.

- noir_lord 7y agoThe Mosquito also known as 'The Wooden Wonder' - fastest thing in the sky til the Germans got the Me-262 off the ground. Didn't do well in the far East because of humidity but they cracked that later. Brilliant bit of engineering since it used a lot of equipment/skills that where under utilised at the time they started building them. With the F18 and the Lightning one of my top 3 favourite military planes ever.
