Wouldnt put the A380 'Glare' in the same league as carbon fibre
Actually Glare is certified to be fireproof. It outperforms aluminum by several orders of magnitude. It even outperforms steel depending on the exact test setup. It is used as firewall and as cargo liner fire barrier. It´s a shame that Airbus did abandon it on the A350.
