I make my living on carbon fiber aircraft parts. Going on twenty years now. That design was crap. Carbon fiber has fantastic ‘pull’ (tensile) strength. 180ksi. Compression.... imagine pushing a rope.

BUT the best thing about these idiots no middle age white male engineers worked on the project. Who wants some boring old 50 year old white male engineer designing a pressure (compressions) vessel when you can be cool and hip?

The stories I can tell.....

so then...the saga of the number of millionaires lost to the unsinkable Titanic continues? Will there be another round of millionaires lost tragically to this fateful mass of twisted steel? when will the billionaires make a run on her? so many questions.
