FAA AMT (Aviation Maintenance Technician) Airframe Practice Exam

Carbon/graphite fiber composites are known for their stiffness, high compressive strength, and the potential corrosive effect when in contact with aluminum. This is due to the galvanic corrosion that can occur between the carbon fibers and the aluminum, which can be a critical issue in aircraft structures. The other options, such as conductivity and malleability (A), low weight and transparency (B), and high elasticity and thermal stability (D), do not accurately describe the characteristics commonly associated with carbon/graphite fiber composites in the context of aviation maintenance.
