Hi.

In my travels I have run across some interesting composites.

Keeping in mind there are composites that shrink when heated, would that conceivably play a part in engine technology? I am thinking of the fan rim's leakage at the cowl?

I met Turbine "A" many years ago, a vocal critic of the 787. Composite thread?

The first aircraft to fly made of composites? The Wright Flyer, utilizing the original two phase materials, lumber and linen.
