Composites in nature play a crucial role in providing strength, flexibility, and durability to various living organisms. For instance, wood is a natural composite that gives trees the structural support they need to grow tall and withstand environmental stress. Additionally, composites found in bones and shells help provide protection and support to animals.
The population of Scaled Composites is 200.
Scaled Composites was created in 1982.
Firehole Composites was created in 2000.

Oh sure. Carbon fiber frames are composites, and quite popular.
Composites are typically resistant to corrosion because they are made up of different materials that can be chosen specifically to prevent or reduce corrosion. However, the specific construction of the composite, such as the type of matrix material used, can influence its resistance to corrosion. Regular maintenance and proper care are still important to maintain the longevity of composite materials.
