This should get some of your winter doldrum brain juices flowing...
Anybody have any good ideas for a lightweight but strong way to get around the lower spar caps on an aluminum strut braced wing? Assume a 1.5" wide t-cap. The heavy way is to add two strut attach straps and two 3/4" spacers with thru-bolts. Ideally it would be best to rivet (vs bolt) the attachment to keep the stress distributed to all of the elements rather than causing the bolts to be put into bending (from the elements being disconnected). Without going to a relatively complex machining (or machined spacer) do you all have any ideas for transferring this load into the web and caps without a lot of weight? Thanks. Stan |
