Usually it consists of crystals of a very hard substance embedded in a softer (more flexible) substance.

What is Scaled Composites's population?
The population of Scaled Composites is 200.
When was Scaled Composites created?
Scaled Composites was created in 1982.
When was Firehole Composites created?
Firehole Composites was created in 2000.
Do composites corrode?
No. Composites are highly resistant to rust and corrosion.
What is hybrid composites and give some advantages of hybrid composites over normal composites?
Combination of two or more materials
Is it possible currently or theoretically to build a supersonic fighter jet from non-metallic composites?
Currently it's not entirely possible, although wings and a lot of the overall structure is already made of composites. It is theoretically possible to build an entire craft w/o metal, but it is quite unlikely that it would happen. Some parts are more beneficial than others to build out of composites, and some parts are outright difficult to build out of composites. And believe it or not, but the military is actually concerned with cost. If metal is the obvious choice from engineering reasons, they wouldn't want to pay extra to get the part made from composites just because.

How are composites made?
Composites are made from two constituent materials. The two materials have different chemical and physical characteristics from one another, and the composites they form have different characteristics from both of them.
What is the difference between synthetics and composites?
Composites means which is made of composition of two constituents where as synthetics is the combination of two or more parts, composites having constituents of different physical and chemical properties, where as in case of synthetics it can have same chemical or physical properties,in case of composites the ratio of material is maintained but it can not be in case of synthetics...e.g of synthetics is plastic, or composites is concrete
