Fibre composite aircraft - capability and safety
Summary
For many decades, fibre composites have been replacing traditional
aluminium structures in a wide variety of aircraft types. From the first
all-composite kit plane released in 1957, composites are widespread
today in commercial aircraft and many other aircraft types. This is due
to the cost and weight savings that materials such as glass/phenolic and
carbon/epoxy offer aircraft manufacturers over aluminium, while
maintaining or surpassing its strength and durability.

Hmmm. So apart from the wood, what's the other material that goes into the
'composite' you are referring to?

Wood is a ( fibre) composite. The later poofter carbon/glass/unbelievium
comps are still trying to catch up.

I think it was determined that a European sparrow would be too small, unless
two swallows carried it together.
