Montblack - you said exactly what I was thinking - British Comets.
Dave 68 7ECA Montblack wrote: ("C J Campbell" wrote) A tap test? Is this is the best they can do to find possible flaws on multimillion dollar aircraft, carrying thousands of people around? What is that? They whack it with a hammer to see if it breaks? What about cracks and damage caused by the test? I read that composites don't show cracks, instead they have weak 'air pocket' spots that can't be seen during inspections. These pockets of air bubles(?) are caused by heat/cold to the composite structures over time. Think early British Comet jets - we're learning as we go I guess. Whack, whack, whack ...she's good to go. Montblack - sorry no link
