I saw this on fox...revolutionary.

“It could possibly be used to reduce or replace the thick metal plates that protect military aircraft,”
Huh? What aircraft are they talking about? The skin on a fighter jet can not be described as “thick”. The titanium bathtub of the A-10 Warthog is about the only exception that I can think of. Titanium is pretty light compared to steel.
