Part of my past aerospace R&D experiences was involved with developing gas turbine engine fan blades using a composite structure fabricated with graphite fibers. I would be very interested in learning how the B Stratton graphite fan blades are constucted.

Can,t do pictures, Bruce is an exception engineer & has made so over 100, did use original centers but now has new alloy ones made , these fans are light but a work of art, no problem with turning engine over by pulling on the blade , Ill bring 3-4 with me & all can see, He built an entire Hubbly race track in section from carbon fibre , all just clips together ,CT Jack ill have his card & you can talk direct ,

You could mount one to the top of a cap ! and wear it through customs , it’s called a beanie cap :-)

Then I'd have to leave my regular one at home.

I have always been a Fan of Carbon Fiber.

Sorry, I could not resist that anymore.
