Yeah, I would hope that they have done their research that is for sure. But it does concern me none the less. All I can hear is that it is going to save 20% on fuel. It is defintely going to be interesting to see how the aircraft goes. Metal doesn't generally combust, but wonder if what the 787 is made of is. I mean OK, planes are meant to fly the majority of them do, but unfortunately some do. Would this new one be safer or more dangerous than using existing materials.
