I've been building military and non military aircraft since 1976. My eyes were never good enough to fly the military ones so I opted to build them. If you can't fly'em build'em!

I've been building composites, then designing them, and experimenting with manufacturing methodology since the early 70's, the materials have changed properties a lot but the methods have'nt changed much. I think this is still the real wave of the future with new methods, improved properties and more knowledge of how they work and perform long term. There are just too many minds working at making changes to the way composites are done and improving how they work.

I think there will be some big paradigm changes in composites and manufacturing in the next 10-15 years and they will continue to become more mainstream in everyday life.

Always trying to build a better mousetrap!
