I like the comparison between carbon fibre composite and plywood.....
Plywood, in a way, is also a multi-layer carbon fibre composite, no?

Somehow, over the years, some design and material knowledge get lost.....

Just think of the DH Mosquito, or some of the late-WWII German aircraft, or maybe even the "Spruce Goose" ?

No, I'm not suggesting Boeing should have built the DreamyLiner from plywood.
But they could have learned from the experience from those days..... if it had been transmitted through the generations.....
