Have read something about a 'new' material for airplaines called 'Glare' ? Consists of thin aluminum layers with fiberglass reiforced plastic in between. Stronger and lighter than aluminum only, and using kevlar instead of fiberglass proved to be less strong... So a carbon hull with a skin of lightweight aluminum cloth doesn't sound very strange to me.
