I love it. Thanks for the video link. Awesome stuff.
I own a company that dos very fine composite work from design, tooling and manufacture. The ability to make complex, very strong structures at minimal weight is really quite something. The composite industry is very dynamic and forward looking. My partner, a former F-14 RIO, is a recognized expert and sits on a number of industry panels
Also, all of our design are CAD and then verified in computation fluid dynamic software that allows us to optimize the shape in the computer prior to manufacture. For air foils (essentially what these high-end sail boats really are) we average 95% + predicted versus actual performance in the wind tunnel.
Completely difference from the old days.
