Boeing didn’t have much experience with composites in jet-liners before this project.

When I worked for Boeing in the late 60s, the wing leading edges on the 747 used composit construction. At the time it was fiberglass and honey comb sandwiches.

That’s not much in comparison to a whole composite plane I’d say.
