> Composites are the way to go in Airframes Well, not really - that's mostly an HN fanboi comment. - composites are often the same weight as aluminum when all is said and done - composites normally are only good for subsonic flight because of skin heating - large-area composites require multiple large autoclaves, etc. when normally there's only one. - composites are more difficult to repair than metal. If a baggage cart hits your composite fuselage or wing, how do you fix that? How long will that take? Metal is high-tech to me, not composites.
