In reading the science daily reports, found a new material which may not only revolutionize the air craft industry, but produce lighter and stronger construction material for construction and automobiles. The article is titled:
Looks good and anything that makes flying safer and aircraft lower cost has to be good for everyone. Wonder if it could be used for ships too?

I suspect it can be used anywhere aluminum can be used. I see it as used in automobiles, ships, and even in home and building construction, anywhere light weight and strength are required. The carbon fiber is noted for its outstanding strength. I would not be surprised to see it even suggested for parts of the proposed space elevator.
A more cost effective structure would be to create wings that would fall off in mid-flight. The outlay for the law suits wouldn't even touch the cost of tickets.
Besides, what airline company wants to be servicing engines and fuselages into the distant future!!!
