Jrdig,

Very good observation. The investing public doesn't quite understand how the use of composites is transforming the aerospace industry. In aviation the amount of fuel burned directly correlates to the weight of the aircraft. It is going to sound funny but I know of one carrier that reduced the amount of olives by one in each meals (when they served meals in coach on flights) and it ended up saving them millions of dollars a year in fuel costs. Composite technology is being used extensively in airframe and interior structures on commercial aircraft today and will only grow. QASP has one of the pioneers of that technology at the helm of one of our business units so we should expect big things from our company in that niche of the aerospace manufacturing business.
