Do you mean GLARE?
GLassfibre Aluminium Re-inforced (i can't remember the last part of the anacronym)
Boeing developed it for the Dreamliner. Stiffer, lighter and stronger than the equivelent thickness aluminium as used on every other plane. Also better at impact resistance.
2 layers of tinfoil thick aluminium and a layer of glassfibre 90° weave between them.
Pretty good idea. I might give it some thought for my build.
