As we know, the roof section on a Carawagon is made from a special alloy which allows it to flex without cracking, whereas aluminium would crack if repeatedly flexed.
This special alloy was developed in 1903 and as well as airship frames, it was used on some aircraft in the early 1900's.
Just thought someone might be interested
