Cute little bird ya fly there. The difference between that and an airliners is like a sailboat and the Titanic though.
I am a 3,000 hr pilot up to multi twins as well as an A&E and if you knew the difficulties in inspection procedures of plastic airplanes you would know what I am talking about.
Delamination as well as structural attachment difficulty are prime examples.
It will be one thing for a little single DA40 or any homebuilt composite to have a failure, kill two people and nobody cares. But kill 300, 400+ in a Dreamliner or an Airbus and people care.
Boeing bet the farm on the 747 and won big time. They are also “all in” on the Dreamliner and may have bought the big one.
PS - All the engineers in the world will do you no good if they they don’t know what they are doing and think they are smarter than the ones that came before them.

My little “sailboat” has a +4.4g/-1.76g limit. Hardly a “sailboat”. Your assumption that just because it crashing will only kill 4 people and not 400 and therefore the engineering is meaningless or less complicated is just plain ignorant and dumb.
Your arrogance is showing. There is a big difference between a mechanic and an engineer. I am an aerospace engineer, you are a mechanic. Big difference in education and understanding of materials. I know how to make them work. You follow my directions on how to maintain them. Don’t pretend to lecture me on materials.
Once again, we see the arrogance of someone wanting to make statments about things they do not understand. This is why this great nation is losing its grip: Arrogance. If you want to play expert then go get the needed education and experience to be one. Until then, just shut up and stop trying to be what you’re not.
