Yes! You're right TopBunk, I've been looking for some info about Airbus structures and I found that composite materials in the 320 are just a 10%, much less than I used to think!
However the 380 contains a 25% of composites, and the 350 will contain a 35% (wings, rear fuselage and tail cone).
But anyway, I still have the doubt of lightning strikes damage in composite structures...
