“Narrated by the designer John Bernard, very interesting look at how we came to have carbon fiber tubs.”
Carbon Fiber from Hercules Aerospace, in Utah. Used in moon landing, later used in racing autos, racing sailboats, and racing airplanes. Hercules now part of Hexcel Corp.
Utah made a commitment as a state, to support advancing carbon fiber technology, with education etc.
Hercules grew from a technology company started in SF Bay area. Eventually carbon fiber in sailboats, including America’s cup winner, and skipper Bill Koch. Koch sold some of his inherited resources to the current Koch Brothers.
Carbon fiber now used in missiles, to make detection harder.
