Study Notes
Wing Structure
- Each wing panel is constructed entirely of metal, using a semi-monocoque design.
- The wings are designed with a cantilever structure, meaning they are self-supporting and do not rely on external bracing.
- The wing tips and access panels are removable for maintenance and inspection.
- Each wing is equipped with several essential components, including the aileron, flap, main landing gear, and powerplant.
Fuel Tank
- Each engine nacelle contains a bladder-type fuel tank with a capacity of 54 U.S. gallons.
- The total fuel capacity for both wings is 108 U.S. gallons.
Wing Attachment
- The wings are attached to the fuselage by securing the main spars into a spar box carry-through.
- The spar box is an integral part of the fuselage structure, creating a continuous main spar with splices at each side of the fuselage.
- Additional attachments are provided at the front and rear spars, ensuring a secure connection between the wings and fuselage.
