[DeTomaso] FW: NPC Probably not new to you aeroheads but wow-

[Charles McCall]

Speaking about things that I have absolutely no first-hand experience with, during a project a few years ago in Airbus I was talking about this with some Industrial Engineers. They commented that carbon fiber allows a somewhat significantly different design. If I remember correctly, the Boeing 787 was the first Boeing aircraft designed from the ground-up optimized to be constructed in carbon fiber. Previous aircraft were "aluminium" designs with parts made in CF to save weight, which is not at all the same thing.

The length and shape of the wings seems very different?  Did carbon fiber allow a better design?  The wings also slope up a lot, I recall a video a few years also showing the wings being radically bent up during tests:

I saw a shorter clip of the ascent, but that link is much more impressive. That is a beautiful piece of video, and an even more beautiful piece of flying. The pilots make that look effortless, but I doubt it was! Very impressive.
