The Thermoplastic vertical stabilizer for an F-16 test bed is being integrated into the airframe. It will either break or work as designed and data will prove it to the aerospace industry. Eventually Airbus will be the first to adapt the technology.
This retired SoCal Boeing guy was glad to help change the paradigm.
Planes, trains & automobiles can & will be made from recycled materials and this realm of technology is the first step.
This technology has Tesla on its ear for their huge (dumb) investment in large metal stamping equipment. Auto industry has always let govt. funded technology be proven in the aerospace industry. It is being proven over the skies of Edwards as we speak and Tesla is watching too. (Friends in places)


Cool story. My daughter is a junior studying aerospace engineering. She is on her like 6th or 7th level of physics.

As physics relates to aerospace;
Algebra is math in two planes
Trig is three planes
& Calculus is all three planes in motion with acceleration & velocity
It is why they call it rocket science :light:

Lee,

I didn’t realize newbies couldn’t express opinions that irritated you either.

What say that I do it?

“THEY can STFU. When they begin to lead by example - it'll be worthy to listen. They don't. They are total hypocrites...as are the majority of globalist elitist preachers of gloom. If you wish to follow them be my guest. BTW, if there are companies making valid & sensible use of recycled plastic - I'm all for it. Totally different subject for the most part.”

There, feel better? (Not!)

BT,

I thought Tesla’s big investment was in liquid metal injection molding (Die casting) of large sections or complete body parts. That process can also use recycled metal.

My "new" contract gig is with Sempra.
I'm arranging a Tecate wind farm visit, see how it feels standing on top of a wind tower in Baja.
Their LNG plant is the next visit.

How is it a troll pointing out that for the last 60 years five different major climate catastrophes have been predicted by "scientists."

All the while those predictions have been used to amass fortunes and power.

The Palm Tree Picture is no more “stupid” than using pre-GPS sea level measurements to attempt to say anything about the recent rate of change in the rise in sea level which has been going on for over 12,000 years! (More than a 150M rise!)

It’s only since GPS that we can actually measure the changes in the elevation of the gages with any accuracy and the elevation of the gages does change a lot over very short time spans!

Look at the "prepper" industry. Same people that built bomb shelters 60 years ago.

I lived through all of that. I was probably 50 before I stopped diving under a table when there was an unexpected loud noise. That said I don’t know anyone who bought a bomb shelter back then. Living out of town up in the hills is probably a more survivable option in my opinion. At least that’s what we did and the air is way better! Also a different class of people too!

We have all seen video's of polar bears on sinking ice chunks. Suggesting they are losing all their hunting grounds and in deep peril.

Now the facts:

In the 1970's there were estimated to be 10,000 polar bears.

Today there are estimated to be 30,000 polar bears.

How dumb do you have to be to believe what big govt. tells you about climate change?

There you go again attacking the messenger, because you can't win on the substance.

"Polar bear populations have been stable to growing over the past several decades; their numbers have increased from fewer than 23,000 in 1980 to 26,000 from 1995 to 2015 to 30,000 more recently."

Not one political statement was made. We are talking "science, history, and facts."

Why would that upset you?
