Right material for the right application. Just because it works under tension in an aircraft or even a cylinder of compressed gas, doesn’t mean it will work when the pressure is applied from the outside of the vessel. It’s the opposite of plain concrete for instance, which has got compressive strength but doesn’t do as well for tension. I understand just saying the words “carbon fiber” it feels like we live in the future but that’s the difference between marketing and engineering.
