Anyone wonder why the price of  Carbon Fiber has jumped? Boeing is using
a whole bunch of it. Too bad I can't find any at Boeing surplus- most of
the composite work is done elsewhere. The assembly is done up in
Everett.  I've heard that Boeing expects to go from starting assemby to
flight in three days on each 787.
