Burt Rutan and Mike Melville show how they construct airplanes using foam materials, fabric fiberglass and epoxy. They also demonstrate the advantages of composite materials over non-composite materials. Properties of composite materials for the construction of airplanes are given and precaution on the finishing process is touched on.

"Watch as work continues on the $4.5 billion USS George Bush aircraft carrier, midway through its four-year construction at Newport News, Virginia. While huge cranes -- each capable of hoisting 900 tons -- carefully lift 160 massive sections of the completed flight deck into place with metronomic accuracy, the pressure mounts as workers race to avoid any delays." -- Distributor web site.
