Spider & AeroWeave

Hey, I've been thinking about how to design a composite that keeps weight low while still handling the stresses of high‑altitude flight. What if we start by mapping the load distribution and then see which materials can meet those specs?

Sounds solid. Map the loads first, then do a quick stress‑to‑density check on carbon‑fibers, maybe some glass‑reinforced polyimide, and compare with the latest aluminum alloys. Cut out anything that gives you a margin less than 2‑3%. Keep the layers thin and stagger the fibers so the composite breathes under low pressure. The key is to get the high‑strength fibers at the right angles where the stress peaks. Once you’ve nailed that, the weight will follow. Need help crunching those numbers?

Got it, I’ll line up the load map, run the density check on the fibers, and flag anything below that 2‑3% safety margin. I’ll keep the layers thin, stagger the fibers, and target the stress peaks. Let me know the exact load data so I can crunch the numbers.
