Nah... They use superior glue to hold them together....I hope..


Did you know the world's first jet airliner ( the DH Comet ) used 'redux' glue to
hold the majority of the airframe together ? Shame they didn't use it round the
windows and access panels, thinking rivets were more 'belt and braces' not
realising about microfractures from the drill holes. Caught out by a previously
unknown phenomenon. I can hardly believe they had prototype Comets flying around
1948 ! Britain was 100% in the lead at that time.
