The article on NextBigFuture is about using these for windmills, but could there be another application for them? It is stronger than carbon fiber.
In a comparison of reinforcing materials, the researchers found carbon nanotubes are lighter per unit of volume than carbon fiber and aluminum and had more than 5 times the tensile strength of carbon fiber and more than 60 times that of aluminum.
Just when I thought that the flying rocket idea was impractical.
