fair enough.
the carbon fiber thing is cool tho. there's a Japanese fashion designer (yes, a fashion designer) that hired a guy to help him create a way to weave in 3D. most looms are obviously 2D. well, it works. and he's getting some patents for his 3D weaving process. and a ton of interest from all sorts of different industrial sectors.
read about a week ago (some story about the remote air drones the USAF is developing) and some guy at the defense contractor mentioned new developments in the carbon fiber body-creation process. almost certain this is that fashion designer's process (think he mentioned military interest in an old interview).
check out the links i posted on the "Make Chair" thread. ever since my aerospace days i've wondered when we could fabricate a wing like a bird bone. there's one chair shown that tells me it's coming. and may be already on the drawing boards.
