Three weeks after it collided with a West German ferry, the French container ship Mont Louis still lay on its side last week in 45 ft. of water, eleven miles from the Belgian coast.

Then the bad weather broke, salvage operations resumed, and by midweek the first of the containers, originally destined for the Soviet Union...

Now, newly developed graphite-epoxy composites can produce a wing stronger than steel and up to 45% lighter. These materials form the skin of the X-29A's wings...
