I am intrigued by the construction of the Dreamliner...carbon
fiber makes it's way to commercial aircraft. This
got me wondering about the construction techniques
of glider wings vs how Boeing does it. Will the 787
have spar bumps after a few years? Are the wings pulled
out of molds? Do they buy gelcoat from the same German
manufacturer as SH or Schleicher? Or are they painted
in poly? Any Boeing types out there with some insights?
