Ouch baby, very ouch!

One thing I don't understand: the aluminum foil preceeding the vertical stabilizer labeled "glare". The one character said: "Careful, don't bend the glare!" (If I understood him correctly.)

Can anyone clue me in to what this means?

And a bump

Bump so I can watch it at home with sound.

GLARE vs. Carbon Composites

A few days ago, I read about GLARE a material created by a
Dutch company called TNO. It is a composite made of 
aluminium sandwiched is fibreglass. Airbus is said to use 
GLARE extensively on the A380, however there have reports 
that the material did not live up to its hype, and that it 
proved unsuccessful on the Beluga (Airbus cargo plane). The 
reports indicate that the material has been scraped from 
the A350. Does GLARE have a future? 

You can read a bit more on the Wiki entry.

Thanks.

I wonder what it means, for a material to be "proved unsuccessful". I, as an air traveler, depend on that material to be "sucessful" at holding the damn plane together!!!
