Tell me Boeing isn't going the way Airbus did. Them composite planes are like Bic lighters. When they're broke you throw them over your shoulder and buy a new one.

QUOTE(jmill @ Dec 18 2009, 04:36 PM)  Tell me Boeing isn't going the way Airbus did. Them composite planes are like Bic lighters. When they're broke you throw them over your shoulder and buy a new one. I ain't gonna try. Airbus has show the way to disposable airplanes and the customers have responded ( it remains to be seen if the USAF will go for it). The days of building B52s or 707s that last for 50 (or more ) years are over. I've been told that Scare Bus doesn't shot peen anything. That may mean something to some here. BTW, properly maintianed, carbon fiber last forever....maybe longer. |
