Burt ruatn para removed
The para asserting that Burt Rutan was a pioneer of Glass-fibre composite aircraft construction was and I removed it. Glass-fibre composites had been in use for aircraft construction for over twenty years before Burt Rutan even mixed his first resin batch.Petebutt (talk) 00:03, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Respectfully, that was not the gist of the passage, reread it to see that what was being described is the comparison of two landmark designers. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 07:06, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Complete...nonsense...when Burt Rutan became the second innovator in airframe material technology (1970s) with his composite construction concepts for complete airframes? Think about it a bit, please! His name SHOULD be mentioned here, as Hugo Junkers was the first innovator in airframe material technology in 1915, going from the "tall-ship" era wood and fabric from the Wright Brothers, to all-metal airframes.

Tidied prose, added citations, auto-edded, dupe-WL search; still ploughing through books for citations. Keith-264 (talk) 09:58, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Conservative?
Aircraft designers before the war were "conservative"? Because they hadn't fully revolutionized the technology that has just appeared a decade before that? Isn't that like calling computer makers conservative because they hadn't come up with a silicon chip by the time ten years had passed? Idumea47b (talk) 13:45, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
