Thank you. Another good response about CF. Some of my favorite failures was when we tested fuselage burst strength and breaking wings. Good times when you get to destroy an aircraft on purpose. Carbon fiber is great and fails spectacularly. Basically zero yield unlike metal structures. It is very strong until it isn’t...

Have watched a couple composite wings tested to failure. It’s very exciting. It’s also pretty dangerous because there can be razor sharp shards flying around when things fracture. Best to be not be too close.
