Re: The plastic Boeing 787

What is the largest currently certified aircraft with plastic wings?
I think the aircraft with the larges wingspan made from composite must be the Grob Strato 1



33m wingspan, full carbon fibre wing, certified, in service for more than 10 years now.

and of course the SB10



29 m wingspan, carbon fibre inner wing, glass fibre outer wing, retired last year after 33 years in service.
