Wood grain orientation in a built-up spar
In my effort to learn/remember/practice correct building
procedures,I monitor several wood aircraft design sights. In the emerauders group,much discussion about using a wingspar that was built and purchased by another builder. The Emeraud spar consists of 2 laminated built ip beams,w ply intercoastals, and boxed front and rear w/ply. The spar in question was made with vertical grain wood, and laminated with the grain perpendicular relative to the wing chord, I believe the spar caps and laminations should have grain approx. parallel to the wing chord. If anyone has a definitive answer that may even prevent an accident go yo yahoo groups,emerauders |
