I'm not trashing composites. But they did make a case that maintenence and inspection might be an issue. The rudder separations on aircraft with composites later found to be contaminated made a good point for closer inspections.

It sounds funny because at the time 747 was introduced USSR already had a much bigger An-22 flying.
