no. It's not rust, but that higher pressure air can hold more water at the same relative humidity. The higher pressure air is achievable because carbon fiber has higher tensile strength per weight.
- ChrisMarshallNY 2y agoThat makes more sense. Thanks!

Corrosion resistance is one of the most advertised benefits of the composite materials in those aircraft[1][2]. 1: http://www.lb.boeing.com/commercial/aeromagazine/articles/qtr_4_06/article_04_2.html http://www.lb.boeing.com/commercial/aeromagazine/articles/qt... 2: https://skybrary.aero/sites/default/files/bookshelf/3851.pdf https://skybrary.aero/sites/default/files/bookshelf/3851.pdf
