Tapered and Twisted Wings

This week, we cut out another part of the wing in FabLab. This time, we tried to cut out the right part of our wing. This part is tapered and twisted. In the video above, you can see that we used two separate styrofoam sheets on top of each other. We tested this because eventually we want to make our wings hollow to save some weight. Afterwards we want to glue the upper and lower parts back together. As you can see in the video, Cedric had to press the two styrofoam sheets together a bit, because there was too much space between them.

We also tried to cut out the exact same part of the wing out of one styrofoam sheet. However, our styrofoam sheets were not big enough. Therefore the upper part of the wing was not cut out properly.
