Hi all. Following the decision about putting on hold the engine testing, the modelling of the car is started. As a system check, I modelled this wing, following F1 standards. The CATIA model of the rear upper main plain has the intel for composite design of the part: ply pieces, splices, inserts, etc. The structure is quite complex and has Rohacell cores to reinforce the skins, plus two spars running across the wing span. The wing is 1:3 scale, meaning a total span of 252 mm. DXF are produced automatically to cut the plies on prepreg from the CAD model.
Material definition is now still to be defined both for part and tooling. This design and built exercise will prove the manufacturing cycle as well, since will use my Optimum BF20L vario to machine the patterns and final component. The CNC program will be made with Visual Mill based on the solid model created in Catia v5.
