Construction concepts pioneered in the DH.88 Comet were later used in the Mosquito. By the early to mid-1930s, de Havilland had built a reputation for innovative high-speed aircraft with the DH.88 Comet racer. Later, the DH.91 Albatross airliner pioneered the composite wood
A typical wood and fabric construction amateur-built, the Bowers Fly Baby. A Pietenpol Air Camper under construction, showing the wooden frame structure that will be covered with aircraft fabric. This is the oldest construction, seen in the first aircraft and hence the best known.
The GP-4 is the fourth aircraft from designer George Pereira, It is a low wing side-by-side retractable gear aircraft of wood construction. It has a single spar stressed to +8 to -6G loading. [2] [3] [6] The aircraft's wooden construction is labor-intensive and an estimated 3000–4000 hours are required to construct it. [2] [3]
The aircraft is of mixed construction and is optimized for low cost and ease of building. The pilot cage, landing gear and kingpost are made from aluminum tubing, while the main fuselage keel, wings and tail surfaces are all wooden structures. The Woodhopper's flying surfaces are covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its 32 ft (9.8 m) span wing is ...
The plane was built by the Hughes Aircraft Company at Hughes Airport, location of present-day Playa Vista, Los Angeles, California, employing the plywood-and-resin "Duramold" process [15] [N 3] – a form of composite technology – for the laminated wood construction, which was considered a technological tour de force. [10]
Wooden battens were screwed onto the metal, to which the doped linen skin of the aircraft was fixed. The Windsor had a woven metal skin. [citation needed] The metal lattice-work gave a light and very strong structure. [2] The benefit of the geodetic construction was larger internal volume for a given streamlined shape. [9]
The Wood Sky Pup is an American single-seat, high wing, cantilever, single engine, conventional landing gear ultralight aircraft that was designed by Stephen K. Wood [1] of Whitewater, Colorado for amateur construction.
A proof of concept and development vehicle for the Junqua Ibis RJ-03. Very similar in layout and construction to the Ibis, differing primarily in power-plant. Junqua Ibis RJ-03 The home-built aircraft developed from the Volucelle RJ-02, fitted with a 60 hp (45 kW) Volkswagen air-cooled engine or an 85 hp (63 kW) Jabiru 2200. [4]
