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)
