"If the damage is not visible (with the composite material to be used on the 7E7), the structure is sound and can be used," Boeing said.
This is a very unusual statement by Boeing.Composites when compared to aluminium require much more careful examination after impacts as the damage can be within the composite layers.
Are they planning on using a new form of composite unheard of to the industry that shows up damage or what?
