Branson’s a Socialist. Makes total sense.

“Branson’s a Socialist. Makes total sense.”

Branson probably is, but that has nothing to do with the material used in the aircraft. That’s a remainder from Burt Rutan, who has a near fetish for composites. And I’m not saying they can’t be used, but facts are facts. We’ve been building aircraft out of metal for almost 90 years, and we know all of its strengths and limitations. Composites are relatively new, and still have lots of unknowns.
