There is just a little bit of carbon fiber composites in Boeing's 787 Dreamliner. That is, if you think 70,000 lbs of CFRP is considered "a little bit..."

Why are composites used? The answer is fairly simple. It allows for a superior product. Be it higher performance, longer lasting, or resistant to corrosion. The properties of composites are tailor-able to the application...

If you happen to ride a plane, train, or automobile today, chance are a part of that vehicle will be using composite materials.  Meanwhile, if you are riding a high-end bicycle, chances are that is made from composites as well.

LRTM - This is an excellent method for manufacturing large FRP composite parts with low labor, excellent quality, and good surface finish.

Does anyone know a good LTRM B-side mold manufacturer?
