  Do you also made this available for commercial?

  Former Boeing Everett where 787 is made. We use huge rotating mandrels with AFP and ATL robotic heads robotically layers of carbon-fiber epoxy resin prepreg to contoured surfaces. Reinforcing fibers are oriented in specific directions to deliver maximum strength along maximum load paths. This produces and accurate copy of inside of fuselage. Demonstrator here actually makes a more dimensional accurate product. Using an inside mold produces exact dimensions of outside surface, which is very important.

  Congratulations,  what an awesome result of your project. I would love to see biangled layup based laminate though! Congrats again.

  Good day. I'm considering two airplanes, one for two and one for four people. Maximum speed 250 mph, cruising speed 210 mph. How can I find them? Where can I have them made? Please provide information. Thank you.

  The lander of Comet Philae was a success!

  What about safety, as the materials are highly toxic  any fire incident happens, nobody will be saved because of toxic smoke, uncontrollable fire.

  Looks amazing ... What is your matrix material and what are you using as a heater? Also are there any publications to read more in detail about this work?

  It looks neat BUT, you create a lot of interfaces that need fasteners and are weak points. Why not whole shape single piece layups, no interfaces anywhere and no stringers and frames because of double curvature shaping where carbon fiber is naturally rigid as just a shell? the so called teardrop shape. Hard to beat for weight. Difficult to make so thin that it can&apos;t hold 30 bar pressure.<br>And why not skip all the windows and use individual displays. That way they can look in every direction, everyone has a view and the hull cannot fail. Windows aren&apos;t an acoustic entry point either.

  Thats not for an airplane but for a petrol rocket with wings, while a airplane ( an aircrfat that can plan, sail and soar by their own) can be built with flexible fabric covering with hemp fabric and a frame of recycled wood, cardboard and metal sheet<br><br>And it would be 30-50% lighter compared to composite shell fabrication

  its me or its overenginered? any test and comparation versus isogrid fuselage?
