The brief

Develop the structural layout of a wooden glider around its wing, fuselage and tail interfaces.

The approach

CAD defines the wing ribs, spars and fuselage structure. Detail views show the wing construction and the rib-to-spar connections.

Work shown

  • Glider assembly CAD
  • Wing rib and spar layout
  • Fuselage structure
