    My understanding from when I did work on this sort of stuff was that composites were considered to have infinite fatigue life.

    It's good to see you healthy and animated, professor!

    An additional advantage of composite material is that they do not reflect radar waves like aluminium does.... I thought it was worth mentioning.

    Even the armor on some of the latest US tanks uses composites. Fascinating stuff.

    Great video. New developments from Su-57 and stealth technology. I think it still deserves more videos despite how much you've spent on it. The haters still can't handle that you're just reporting on information but the majority of us appreciate what you're doing being accurate and informative. Thank you!

    Another spot on video on a modern combat jet. The structure analysis is very interesting, very well presented and like anything available on youtube

    Bravo,well worth the wait, Im looking forward to the next installment, I have a few pictures of the EAP flying, it's original proportions didn't look as satisfying as the eventual Eurofighter but it's nice to know that it was a pioneer in proving "plastic" structures. In theory a future non leaky SR-71 equivalent could be designed in appropriate epoxy composites.

    I love this channel for the superb presentation of information, sometimes complex.

    Conclusion from this video? Otis will soon put a Eurofighter in the garden because there is enough space.🙂

    I could feel your relief at the end when you finally measured precisely.

    Britain is getting new AESA for eurofighter from leonardo

    Given that one of the best fighter/bombers in WWII, the DeHaviland Mosquito, was made out of wood it is not surprising that people would be looking for various alternatives to metal in aircraft construction.

    This has left me wondering what the Tempest will be like. The EJ-20x engines are already 20% more powerful and 30% is the aim. They also use less fuel for a given amount of thrust. The Tempest is also targeted to be 10% lighter dry weight. I also heard a rumour that the service ceiling is going to be increased by 3000 meters. If that happens then some modern missiles will not be able to intercept them as the aircraft launchine will make the amount of climb needed too much.

    Another excellent video.

    The canard foreplane is made of pure titanium which is made in a revolutionary process. You may have been talking about the prototype but, trust me, I know I am correct. Not sure where you got your information.

    Precision costs. The more precisely a dimension is specified, the more costly it is to produce. The overall length of the Eurofighter at any point will depend on the temperature of the materials.
