3.1.1 Wing
Sandwich shell made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFP), CFP spars.
Consisting of three sections i.e. central wing with a span of 32.5 ft. (9.90 m) and two outboard wing sections
with a length of 21.5 ft. (6.55 m) each.
Attachment to the fuselage by means of four sliding bolts, attachment central wing to outboard wings with one
sliding bolt each.
Removable cowling to cover the wing/fuselage attachment. Beneath the cowling, free access to the wing
attachment, control system joints and the "mixed" aileron/flap controls. Detachment of wing from the fuselage
upwards.
Flaps over the total span of the central wing, ailerons over the total span of outboard wings. Articulation of
