Comments :

I predict that composites will be used for all 'protected' structures (spars, frames, stringers, etc.) with a thin layer of metal, maybe stainless steel or titanium, adhesively bonded/integrated to the composite, acting as a protective skin.

I predict the future. Aluminum metal planes will have the last laugh. Boeing will cease to exist along with Airbus due to lawsuits and failed planes. And the new producer of safe old-school metal planes in the future will be ......?

thanks for posting these, i think composited with integrated sensors in the airframe itself will ultimately be the future

Interesting. Thanks for the vid.
