Give it a few years.

I suspect you’ll start hearing about “unexpected” airframe failures in aircraft.

I suspect it will happen eventually. Just when is the question?

And the beauty of composites like this is that they give you little to no prior warning unlike metal.

As I understand it testing of the airframes has told them how many cycles they have in them. THAT with a little buffer added is the service life of the plane.

That’s a beauty?

Anyone remember the Windecker Eagle?
