Bill Lear who made the Lear Jet had this idea to make a business plane out of composites (grahite and Kevlar) with the hope it would be more economical than the business jets. He died before it flew and his wife tried to make it go, but it never got certified by the FAA so it never went into production and there were only three flying models made. I worked on it for almost 2 years until I figured out it was just a tax write off for the investors and I left before it went tits up.Kulkurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09198195648066700925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437761248507033993.post-68249315038502531742008-12-21T15:20:00.000-05:002008-12-21T15:20:00.000-05:00I don't think that I've ever seen airplanes like t...I don't think that I've ever seen airplanes like that.BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4437761248507033993.post-47389216631656703112008-12-18T11:38:00.000-05:002008-12-18T11:38:00.000-05:00And now I've learned some new words.
