But carbon fiber is inspiring to 20 something engineers.

Also carbon fiber

It’s just fine, if used correctly in the right application.

The long strands run one way in any particular ply. You pile up the plies an proportion to the loading direction magnitudes for your application. It’s like plywood.

Just because someone uses 1/4 inch plywood, or thinner, instead of 5/8 for flooring....and an elephant falls thru after 5 jumps....doesn’t make it the plywoods’ fault. It’s the builders fault for not using the proper laminate layup.
