I was in ground school at Chino Airfield as part of a High School program (Regional Occupation Program, or ROP) back in the 1977-78 school year. Imagine our surprise on leaving class that afternoon and walking through the hangar, and right outside our door, is Burt's 2nd aircraft he ever built! The cockpit canopy was left open, and a couple of us couldn't resist sitting in what we already knew was a legendary man's aircraft and would soon be an important line of aviation history. Being extremely cautious and touching nothing, it was amazing to be there. I remember on the right hand side was an actual fishing line and weight hanging over penciled in protractor reference lines, right in the raw fiberglass. An amazing time in aviation and a fond memory for me.

All, please realize this video was made shortly after the LongEZ first flew. That means it was around 1980. Amateur cameras was not very good then, yet expensive. Mr. Rutan developed a technique that was simple and easy to do. That doesn't mean it was the ONLY WAY to do it. What it means is if one follows their instruction and video, even you can build a safe airframe structure out of composites. Today is July 2020. The technology and methodology for homebuilt airframes has moved forward since 1980 - - - -

Rewind a decade before this video was produced, and the F-14, F-15, and F-16 were constructed utilizing vacuum bagged, autoclave cured, carbon and boron fiber prepreg composites. Technology has not advanced as much from that early success as people would think. Most progress has been in mass-production techniques such as resin infusion (RTM, VARTM). and out of autoclave (OOA) processes that retain very high properties similar to Autoclaved part at a fraction of the time/cost. Burt Rutans "moldless composite method" is still just as valuable today as it was then. It is very specialized and best for making rapid prototypes. Which a homebuilt aircraft qualifies. It is also valuable for custom Surfboards, boats, etc. What is truly impressive, is how easy it is to make and inspect a strong part. It is less easy to make it light as possible without vacuum bag, but it can be close with a good process and practice.

This construction method works well, but solvents and gasoline can seep through even paint pinholes and 4x layers of fiberglass to melt the foam underneath. A high quality paint job is absolutely necessary for lifetime durability.

Does anyone know the density of styrofoam Burt used? Why the layup is always 45 degrees angled while the load is straight?
@EllipsisAircraft10 ай бұрын
Maybe I can help: The blue styrofoam for the hotwire shaped core is Dow flotation buoyancy billet, and the green foam is regular polyurethane or polyiso. Most of which are close to 2lb/cuft density. The PVC foam used is anywhere from 3.3-15.5lb. The +/-45 layups provide the best shear properties. And wing-skin is primarily resisting wing torsion, which results in shear loads being transmitted to the fuselage sides. The vertical wing spar web is also 45 degrees for the same reason. Spar caps run the length of the wing across its span. And they are unidirectional unwoven fibers layed-up perfectly straight to handle bending loads in tension and compression. The top cap is a certain percentage thicker than the bottom cap for obvious reasons.
@kerrryschultz29042 ай бұрын
@@EllipsisAircraft Very interesting video and the attention to details of material use. One thing that had me wondering is that Mr. Rutan said in the case of the spar cap support could require up to 19 layers of direction mat depending on factors such as plane size, and wing length. In the 1980's who would they consult to establish adaquete strength at a particle point in a stressed member. Would it be done by building a wing and subject it to a stress load to find the failure point or would the fiberglass industry have data to assist in necessary structural strength provided by so many layers and as the load increases so do the layers required. Given how the long eze and other planes he designed and built, Mr. Rutan is an incredible designer, engineer.

Well, Burt Rutan said in an interview that he came across the idea from the Aeromodeling community he was involved with, along with seeing a Sailplane repairman cutting out damaged areas of gliders, patching in foam glued to the inside of the fiberglass skin, followed by fiberglass layups. He determined between the models and the full-size repairs he could make the whole airplane that way. Genius, yes. But even the smartest guy in the world needs a little inspiration. I'm interested in the construction method for Voyager (claimed to be extensively Carbon/Graphite) as well as the construction method used on Spaceship One. (I.e. is it Moldless or mold-based layups). He has several patents on construction methods, and was always innovating on new methods. Most of which are moldless methods.

It’s interesting that he says composites are the new state of the art in 1980. Nobody told Dick Van Grunsven. His company has produced more homebuilt kits than anyone with over 10000 having flown. Their construction? Aluminum and rivets. You go to oshkosh and you will see a handful of rutan designs and 500 or 600 RVs. Back in the 80s, when I was an Engineering student, I also thought composites would take over. But that’s not how things worked out at all.

Your prejudice is showing, Rv4 Guy! Dick and his folks make some excellent airplanes - no doubt! There are a lot of composite designs out there, though, and they've evolved from what Burt was doing in the '80s. If you want to keep it apples to apples, look at the numbers of scratch-built EZ variants with scratch built RVs. (At different times in my life I've had E Racer parts in my garage, as well as RV9 parts. Composite work is much easier on my disabled vet hands than driving rivets...I ended up donating my -9 tail kit to the local EAA chapter).

"State of the art" was an accurate description. Aluminum was "state of the art" in the Spitfire and ME-109. With the P-51 being the de facto standard for quality, flush riveted aluminum. It's interesting, that airplanes used to be made of fabric covered wood, and came full circle to being made almost entirely out of fabric. And Vans RVs have many yards of fiberglass in their construction. They themselves admit by their own use, composites make better aerodynamic parts. Cowling. Wing tips. Wheel pants. Canopy skirt. Tail fairings. Or anywhere a square aluminum box or soda can shape wont work well.

They're on camera. Filming a video without a respirator isn't going to hurt you. Occupational hazards are named "occupational" hazards because they are hazards that are only present when you're doing it everyday as a job. Intermittent exposure is inconsequential. People that make you think that you need to wear SCBA gear, knee pads (for obvious reasons), and a condom, when your doing something one time, have no knowledge of EXPOSURE. You'd think it would be common sense to know that these hazards present themselves after long periods of exposure. But they think that if you do some fiberglass work in your garage, ONE TIME, that you'll end up with health problems. It takes years of exposure to cause health issues.

That technique is flawed. The micro slurry should be applied to the foam and then let to cure. After that it should be lightly sanded to knock off the nits that might protrude and catch the fabric. Your technique shown of putting the cloth on the slurry while it's still wet is all wrong. The epoxy resin applied will soak through the cloth and then into the slurry and go right past that and into the foam making a heavy structure. What should be done is to put a light coat of epoxy resin over the cured slurry, then the cloth and wet out the cloth with more resin on top of the cloth. Then squeegee the excess. Done..
@MarkShinnick7 жыл бұрын
There's actually a better way to keep it even lighter and stronger, and allows for more working time where the micro is mixed as dry as can be worked well and smoothly into the foam; in that manner micro cures more slowly and the nits can picked out adequately. Then, lay the glass down dry and met out only enough epoxy for each immediate swipe of the squeegee : its very quick and the layup bonds best to uncured micro. The problem avoided is that once too much epoxy gets somewhere its actually very hard to get it out; too much being any more than the best strength to weight ratio...usually no more than just over white....in some cases a low % whitish is fine.
