This is a mostly Composite bird that flew for the first time today.
Both the Fuselage and wing Primary Structure is manufactured from Carbon fibre.. "
Note the wing flex"
Secondary Structure (Fuse frame sections, Door surround frames) are aluminium (7050). landing gear is Titanium.
Big news in my industry.
