Ghenghis is right (again, probably) Research has to start somewhere and this is well on from any theory.
My observation(s) to the paper would be that the repair strength of 80-90% is not enough (yet) and a method of mapping the "repairs" should be found in order to monitor what might happen should a string of repairs line up!
As I see it - the technology is already 95% out there (and has been for about 15 years) for a "plastic" aircraft with multiple-pathed Fly-by-Light cables embedded into its fabric to control piezo-electric driven control surfaces. Should one FBL 'path' become defective another 'spare' path could be utilised until repair or replacement of the original.
All we need now is some brave company to do something evolutionary!
Unfortunately, suitable future engine technology seems to be dragging behind the rest, but again, I'm sure it will eventually come to fruition!
Remember. "If things don't change, they'll stay the same!"
