Default Shuttle over Texas

I saw the TV of the investigation and saw the result when the foam was fired at
the left leading edge. The skin around the hole appeared to be rather thin.
Perhaps a type of Carbon Fiber? Would anyone know, in simple terms, the Leading
edge construction? Does anyone know if tiles are at the leading edge of the
wings or are they pretty much on the belly.
Thanks
