Wing Attachment


The fuselage and wings of the Arbalète are permanently bonded. The mating surfaces must be absolutely precise, and the assembly of the parts must be highly accurate. To achieve this precision in the fuselage, I made a jig and had it milled to size on a 5-axis machine. With this jig positioned in the fuselage centre section, the two main spars and the wing transition ribs were glued in place.


Once everything was glued together, I had to saw the jig into individual parts and remove it piece by piece.
