Micheal O Martin said in the press release:' Under the terms of the agreement CTL will be the preferred testing laboratory for ALL composite material testing requirements for BAE'.
Are we to believe that the materials tested are never used in military aircraft?
Are the materials used for civilian aircraft different from the materials used for military aircraft?
