So do Boeing 787's need wing sand, wax, buff, reprofile, refinish?
I am intrigued by the construction of the Dreamliner...carbon
fiber makes it's way to commercial aircraft. This got me wondering about the construction techniques of glider wings vs how Boeing does it. Will the 787 have spar bumps after a few years? Are the wings pulled out of molds? Do they buy gelcoat from the same German manufacturer as SH or Schleicher? Or are they painted in poly? Any Boeing types out there with some insights?
