WING
The wing is a conventional aluminum design that contains a front spar,
mid spar, rear spar, ribs, upper skin, lower skin and stringers. Most of the
wing structural parts are machined from a solid piece of aluminum.
Each wing incorporates an integral fuel tank. The center wing assembly
contains a sealed upper and lower skin and ribs at each end that make an
integral center fuel tank.
The bottom of the outboard wing includes 14 vortex generators to
energize the airflow across the lower surface of the aileron. A “bump”
device is mounted to the upper wing skin to improve airflow at high
Mach number. Each inboard leading edge has a wedge-shaped stall strip
to improve airflow at high angles of attack.
There are leading edge triangles on each winglet, a winglet fence and
mid-aileron span vortilon to improve airflow during sideslips.
A single mass-balanced aileron incorporating an electric trim tab actuator
is mounted on the outboard trailing edge of each wing.
