...your new Boeing 787 Dreamliner is 50% plastic. Wonder why it keeps getting delayed? Melting? Must be the summer heat up there in Seattle. Taro

More and more speculation that it's the composites. They used them in places not previously used, too. Dreamliner might be a nightmare.

another plastic airplane down.... cnn.com (CNN) -- A Yemeni airliner with 150 people aboard has crashed in the Indian Ocean off the island nation of Comoros, an aviation official in Yemen's capital said Tuesday. You're going to love Obama's plastic cars... Btw, don't tell anyone your new Boeing 787 Dreamliner is 50% plastic. Wonder why it keeps getting delayed? Wow.....you're an amazing guy. An absolute authority on every subject. One thing is clear.......the problem could be composites or a number of other possibilities including the bad weather but don't let that stop you from expounding on the subject. Oh......did I mention that the 310 was launched in 1978 and the last one was produced in 1998. Do you think they used composites back in 1978, o legend in his own mind?
