The airplane is made of carbon composite material.
High carbon materials tend to be brown and dry.
Also due to heavy chemical fertilizer inputs land has become hard and carbon material has gone down.
He visited the University of Cambridge during 1979 to perform studies on carbon materials.
The carbon material left behind is coal, gas, or oil.
They also showed a glucose precursor can be used to make carbon materials with a high reversible capacity.
His challenge today is to stay at the leading edge of research on the novel carbon materials his laboratory discovered in 1985.
In aircraft it is gradually being replaced by carbon composite materials.
But in some ways, the carbon composite material, known as reinforced carbon-carbon, is more fragile.
Engineers are looking at five methods for conducting a nondestructive test of the carbon material while it is in place on the vehicle.
