Wing sections

Fig. 4-11 (a) BT-15 in flight, (b) sandwich wing section using RP skins and cellular cellulose acetate foam, and (c) section of the monocoque fuselage, and (d) example of a design flexibility in RP construction. 

Fig. 10.42 Cross-sectional view of the CM mixing chamber near one of the rotor-wing sections, identifying relevant flow regions and mixer design parameters.

The cross-sectional view of the CM mixing chamber in the rotor-wing section is shown schematically in Fig. 10.42. The gap between the rotor and the chamber wall varies from the minimum gap, h, to the maximum gap, Hq, given, respectively, by...

A range of metal thicknesses was explored, in order to determine the optimum deposition thickness. Average enhancements over three wing sections and thirty scans were taken for each data point, the standard errors of which were too small to... 

D. Cut three or four V x V x 3" balsa strips to Ee used to join the front bulkhead of the wing section and the disc from Step C. The strips should be glued into notches cut in the two discs. Placement will again depend upon the arangement of the radio components. Cut the four feet of bell wire in half and attach to battery and blasting cap as shown.

Simplification in design In general, the designs associated with bonded structures are simpler than those using rivets. For example, only simple design criteria were used to produce the Redux bonded wing sections of the Fokker F-27 Friendship and the RJ 80 (Figs. 21 and 22, respectively). 

One of the research teams within the Airbus consortium (TANGO - Technology Acquisition of Near-term Goals and Objectives) was examining the possibility of producing the wing sections for the Airbus A.380 airliner out of carbon fibre...
