- askvictor 3y agoMy naive assuming would have been that carbon fibre would burn easier than aluminium
- tavavex 3y agoWell, yes, the plane did burn down almost completely. The quote I heard that complimented it wasn't that it wasn't flammable, but that it (again, allegedly - I'm not a material scientist) insulated the interior from the fire outside for long enough.
