When the pressure is inside the stresses are pulling the fibers.when the pressure is outside the stresses are compressing the fibers - like trying to push a rope. In that case the only strength is in the resin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st27 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 There is a joke about how do you know when you’re flying a BIG aircraft……. the commander says “start number 4” and the engineer jokes “which side?” 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they still allow you to walk through and see the level of 'luxury' that was available at the time? When I went through the museum many years ago, the Presidential and research aircraft were in a hangar on the base. You had to show ID, and then take an escorted bus to the area. Yes, one of the greatest collections! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, one of the greatest collections! They are no longer in the hangar on the base. They have a whole new building now added on to the Museum. I love this place and visit every couple of years. One of the best Museums out there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
