TOKYO -- Carbon fiber composite materials have come under the spotlight following last week's fiery plane collision at Tokyo's Haneda Airport, considering their increased use in aircraft to save weight.
The Japan Airlines aircraft, engulfed in flames on the runway after colliding with a Japan Coast Guard plane, was a wide-body Airbus A350-900. A350s began service in 2015, with 571 flying worldwide as of November. JAL had 16, including the one in the Haneda accident. This was the first total loss in the A350 series, according to Airbus.
