Airbus put a composite structure in a load-bearing area.

And Boeing is building the fuselage and parts of the wings of the 7E7 mostly out or composites.

Let's hope the Airbus vertical composite tail plane truss structure of the A-380 won't fail. That's made by a US company.

Composites have been used extnsively in load-bearing parts. See main and tail rotor of the Apache helicopter, main rotor of Super Cobra, ships' propellors.
