Economics of Plastic Shell Construction

Introduction: One hears a number of reasons why some manufacturers are reluctant to seriously consider the use of plastic shells. Among these are a feeling that it would somehow represent a betrayal of tradition and aesthetic values; the problem of long lasting debris; that it requires the learning and application of significantly different techniques, which translates into development costs. I understand all of these reactions quite well; I felt and expressed them myself in the past. It was a slow and sometimes trying metamorphosis from the position I expressed in the past to the one I now take.
