Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer - Question:

With CFRP being stronger than steel (apparently up to 5x stronger) and weighing less than aluminum in relation to strength, it seems to have potential to take a substantial bite out of the aluminum msrket.

The advantage of aluminum is its lower cost. From what I've been reading so far, carbon fiber production cost has been coming down, but have not found any specific numbers yet.

Does anybody have info or links relating cost of CFRP vs sluminum..and..or..potential future cost reduction of CFRP?

Thank you.

Bill
