Planes

Planes are being made with carbon laminate, carbon sandwich, and other composites, these make the plane light weight. This could replace aluminum and other metals used to build aircrafts. This helps with the the gas being a lower price because of the lighter weight. With the new composites it's made to not show the any dents or problems to the naked eye. This is so that it does not make the plane weak. There will be infrared testing to make sure that water is not leaking into the plane. With the new compostites there will be major testing to make sure the plane has no problems.
