Re: alternate construction for frame work
Well, we talked with someone from Raytheon, I think, about their (I believe) fiberglass? materials. He was talking about the materials they produced. It sounded like they had the strength of aluminum but probably around less than 1/2 the weight. Some of the materials were stronger than aluminum. It sounded like they had it in bar, sheet, and various other forms.
Don't quote me on this one, it was quite a while back.
