Hi all,
"The use of carbon-fibre composites in B777 and many Airbus aircraft has led to light designs, thereby increasing payload and range of these aircraft. Because of the fatigue- and corrosion-resistant properties of the advanced composites, these aircraft have needed few inspections and repairs."
Just how valid is the last sentence in reality??
Any comments would be appreciated.
