New Materials And New Processes

"Jones says he's confident the production aircraft will be close to its
target empty weight of 3,700 lbs. although he won't say how much the
prototype, built on production tooling, weighs. Jones said the
(eight-passenger) fuselage weighs less than 400 lbs."

400 lbs? Is that with the floor and windows? Even if it's just the
(pressurized) hull ...WOW!

Now, let's say I get hold of some of that FibeX and use it to build a
CriCri...Hmm.

CriCri
Empty Weight: 70-85 Kg (160 -190 lbs)
[2 engines, wings, fuselage, instruments, canopy, seat, wheels, etc]

MTOW: 175 Kg
[220 lbs for pilot, GPS, radio, stuff, fuel (30 lbs) ...if ...E/W is 75 Kg]
