Hello All,

In response to a technical inquiry NTIAC is looking for information 
concerning the use of composites in USAF aircraft.  Specifically, we are 
interested in the F-18, F-16, F-15, F-14 and the JSF and would like to know

1.  External surface area (sq. feet) for the craft mentioned above,
2.  % of external surface area of these craft that consists of composite,
3.  The frequency of inspection of the composite areas of these craft, and
4.  The overall inspection frequency for these craft.

If anyone has any information to share please feel free to drop us a line.

Thanks in advance,
Chris
