Hi,
We talk "glass ship" or "Plastikbomber" and variations to that theme when talking of composite gliders. While riding my bike home from the airport yesterday I started to wonder how much of GRP is actually "glass" and how much "plastic". Or more generally: What goes into a modern glider in terms of raw material and labour? http://www.dg-flugzeugbau.de/flugzeug-bauen-d.html English version at http://www.dg-flugzeugbau.de/flugzeug-bauen-e.html) Gives figures of 46 square meters of carbon fabric and 11.5kgs of Epoxy for a wing and 240h of work for the finish. More data points?
