From page 1...
... The boronepoxy material system was developed with substantial assistance and direction from the government through the Air Force Materials Laboratory, but the carbon-epoxy material system received only limited government assistance and direction.

From page 2...
... Despite these and other examples, filamentary composites still have significant unfulfilled potential for increasing aircraft productivity; the rendering of advanced organic composite materials into production aircraft structures has been disappointingly slow. This report addresses why and recommends research and technology development actions that will assist in accelerating the application of advanced organic composites to production aircraft.
