: Mickey Mouse engineering or faulty layup?

The budget was too small.

The engineering was insufficient - the mast bearings failed, the hulls buckled.

The construction was insufficient - the facings did not bond to the cores.

The testing was insufficient - the construction problem was not detected.

About par for the course for novel projects.
