From reading the responses here it sounds like you guys are the same
ones that designed the leading edge without the foam filling.
Practically the foam would have no appretiable weight so that point is
mute.
"Moot".
The foam inside would not be exposed to the heat of the outside.
RCC is not a great insulator. It's used because it can *withstand* the
head, *not* because it doesn't conduct it.
As for flight qualifying the foam thats a ridiculous burocrat's
statement. All kinds of airplanes are made using composits and there
are fire resistant foams in common use.
How many of them fly to an altitude where the air pressure is
essentially 0?
My original point stands.
As mute (n.b. correct usage) testimony to your ignorance?
