    If you are into Aviation like me you will enjoy this slide show of the assembly of the new Dream Liner (Made using Carbon Fiber instead of Aluminum)

    I'm thinking about "IF" it crashes, what happens to it. Does it shatter like carbon fiber. Or is it actually safer than b4.

    The skin is Carbon Fiber but the frame is still metal. Its much stronger than having a thin ass aluminum skin which is as thin as a coke can

    Its all about how many seats they can fit so they can get the most paying tickets in one plane, more people, less fuel used on other flights

    Good point. I was just thinkin about safety. I'm really not into flying anyways. Thats probably why I hate gas prices right now.
