I was thinking Aviation, what they use Carbon Fiber for now.

Wonder how this stuff handles heat? Mixed with Ceramics maybe for super light engine blocks, drive trains, compressor fans...

Wonder how it handles corrosives, salt air, water?

Wonder how it would wear, would it handle continuous flexing, stretching etc

(Doppler RADAR is still RF and not Sound as the author was stating)

Correct

When will we be able to "grow" nanotube or other solids, so we could engineer a home, brew some chemicals, and have it build itself?

Personally, I'd like to see it used to make clothing that never wears out.

Can you imagine still having a lime green leisure suit?
