Can you say "low Reynolds number?"
UH
Curable by speed! :-)
Clearly 'practical graphene' will require extensive, systemic thought (and
probably not a little new 'aereodynamic' research), but my nickel is on it

having a material so good it *hurts* their ability to improve performance
because it's too light?!?
