Two points on a fuselage at waterline 100/fuselage station 93 and waterline 101/fuselage station 276. Lofting coordinates are used for aircraft body measurements. The system derives from the one that was used in the shipbuilding lofting process, with longitudinal axis labeled as "stations" (usually fuselage stations, frame stations, FS), transverse axis as "buttocks lines" (or butt lines, BL ...
In 1923 the Dayton-Wright Company had just started producing side-by-side TW-3 aircraft, powered with World War I surplus Wright E engines (American-built 180 hp Hispano-Suiza) when it was closed down by the parent company General Motors, which had purchased it in 1919.

Then, in 1981, Midland-Ross acquired the Mansfield Aircraft Products Company and made it a subsidiary of what was by then the Grimes Division. [9] The division was restructured in 1982, with it being split into Grimes Galley Products, Grimes Lighting Products, and Grimes EL Products. [10] The Grimes Galley unit closed two years later. [11]
Water lines (WL) on a scheme of a fuselage. Baseline is at the ground line, all WL values are nonnegative. In the aircraft design the term waterline designates a horizontal reference line used in alignment checks. The base line of the aircraft is designated as waterline 0 (zero). The location of this base line varies on different types of aircraft.
The company commissioned Karl Arnstein of Akron, Ohio, whose design was inspired by the blueprints of the first aerodynamic-shaped airship hangar, built in 1913 in Dresden, Germany. [ 6 ] Construction took place from April 20 to November 25, 1929, at a cost of $2.2 million (equivalent to $30.74 million in 2023 [ 7 ] ).
It became Goodyear Aircraft Corporation [4] on December 5, 1939 in response to a contract from the Glenn L.
