2. Spar (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spar_(aeronautics)

   Main spar of a de Havilland DH.60 Moth. In a fixed-wing aircraft, the spar is often the main structural member of the wing, running spanwise at right angles (or thereabouts depending on wing sweep) to the fuselage. The spar carries flight loads and the weight of the wings while on the ground.

   The wing ribs were also made of epoxy and carbon fiber. Shaped Styrofoam was used for the wing's leading edge and a durable clear plastic film covered the entire wing. [1] The Helios Prototype shared the same 8-foot (2.4 m) wing chord (distance from leading to trailing edge) as its Pathfinder and Centurion predecessors.

   [1] [2] [3] It is a low-wing, cantilever monoplane of conventional configuration and fixed tricycle undercarriage. [2] [3] The cockpit was designed to be left open, but plans for a canopy to enclose it were made available, the use of which would increase the top speed of the aircraft. [2] The Teenie Two was specifically designed to use a ...

   The lower wing has 3 degrees of dihedral. Ailerons are of the Friese type, with two ailerons on the lower wing standard and four ailerons optional. The front wing spar was initially a 3 in (7.6 cm) aluminum tube and the rear spar is "C" channel. Starting 1 January 1989 the front spar was changed to a rectangular spar and an outboard drag brace ...

6. Avid Flyer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avid_Flyer

   The Avid Flyer is a conventional layout, single engine, side by side two seat light aircraft, with a strut-braced high wing configuration. Aluminum tubes serve as leading edge/main spar and rear spar, each wing being supported by a pair of tubular lift struts. Sawn plywood wing ribs are bonded to the aluminum tube spars using a filled epoxy ...

7. Fixed-wing aircraft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-wing_aircraft

   A fixed-wing aircraft is a heavier-than-air aircraft, such as an airplane, which is capable of flight using aerodynamic lift. Fixed-wing aircraft are distinct from rotary-wing aircraft (in which a rotor mounted on a spinning shaft generates lift), and ornithopters (in which the wings oscillate to generate lift).
