Re: Carbon Fiber

There are other fabrics that can be used in composite construction. Kevlar cloth is good for vibration dampening and impact resistance. S2 fiberglass is also economic and close to the spec of low grade carbon. In high power rocketry my son and I used many hybrid construction methods and were very successful. Knowing what materials and where to use them is why aerospace composite engineers make some big bucks.
