Airplanes With Glass Wings A Possibility

[Thunderfoot]

Or to paraphrase Caesar Augustus: To Era is human...

It was invisible, not glass.

I hope so. Wouldn't want Diana Prince to be caught changing inside her plane while she's being peeped on.

Of course, that brings my next question: Why is the jet invisible and she isn't when she's flying it?

Be glad that only the wings are glass. Wouldn't want the lavatory be made of glass.

Still beg the question, "Why?" though.

Ever bent a piece of metal or plastic back and forth until it broke? Amorphous metals don't break no matter how many times they bend back and forth.

Why is this relevant? Every time a plane goes through turbulence, it's wings wobble up and down like crazy. If it happens enough times without the critical parts being replaced or repaired, it'll just snap right off. The same goes for the skin of the plane flexing as it goes up and down in altitude with the cabin pressurized.

So, a glass wing will not wobble due to lack of flexibility?
