Is aircraft-grade Hemp Composite lighter than fiberglass?
Aircraft-grade hemp composite appears to have a lower density than fiberglass, and greater tensility.
How does the greater tensility of [hemp-based] biocomposite wings and fuselages change the flight characteristics?
.
I remember seeing a YouTube video about how there are newer ways of laying down a round fiberglass fuselage that are much more efficient than basically additive lathing?
.
Speaking of aerospace-grade HEMP biocomposites instead of paint on fiberglass,

> Would there be advantages to a tensile biocomposite with Starlite and/or Firepaste e.g. as a coating or blended?
> Can Starlite be used as heat shielding for [biocomposite] civilian rockets, and how would the reentry emissions differ?
