With regards to flight cycle stresses, No idea. I can only imagine that the kevelar reinforced composites are stronger than aluminium, and less prone to stress fractures, after the same number of flight cycles as an aluminium hull of similar size and loading. However Lightning and composites do not go together, or at least they did'nt. I'm sure thats now a hurdle that has been overcome.
