LOS ANGELES — People
laughed when Don Stansbarger
of Northrop Corp. first prop
osed a factory of the future —
making airplanes with robots —
but the idea is becoming a
reality.
Stansbarger, is Northrop’s
manager for the Factory of the
Future division, said the future
factory concept combimes the
use of robots and lightweight
graphite in the construction of
airplanes.
Graphite, in one form, is the
soft black carbon in lead pencils.
But treated differently, it is a
lightweight, strong, tensile
material that can be formed and
cut like fabric and used for air
plane skins.
“It is half the weight and
three times as strong and as stiff

as aluminum,” Stansbarger said.
He said the factory is turning
out rudder parts and horizontal
stabilizers for the F-18 fighter.
The fighter, produced by
Northrop and McDonnell
Douglas Corp., is now 9 percent
graphite, and Stansbarger said
he thinks by 1985 it will be 25
percent graphite and eventually
60 percent graphite.
The idea of the robot assem
bly line came about as Stansbar
ger struggled with the problem
of imcorporating non-metallic
materials into airplane design.
“I always dreamed of an air
plane that was 60 percent
graphite in weight,” he said.
“We started in 1967 working to
wards that goal.”
Northrop found it could not
produce on a cost-competitive
basis by hand techniques, he
said.
So, it purchased a facility
from Rockwell International in
late 1978.

United Press International
DES PLAINES, Ill. — Scott
and Deeadra Morrison are good
role models for their students in
the hearing impaired program
at Chicago’s Whitney Young
High School.
The Morrisons are deaf.
“Because the incidence of
deafness is so small (one per
1,000), deaf kids rarely get to see
deaf adults,” saiys William Pahle,
the programs acting director.
“At the present time, none of
our students have deaf parents.
They really don’t know what a
deaf adult is.”
Morrison, 31, and his wife,
26, met eight years ago at a
school conference for the deaf
and were married in 1979.
Both read lips, wear hearing
aids and use sign language.
His deafness resulted from a
