Guys, I dont know if you understand the impact of this video. You have basically revealed the secret of how to make decent wings for all formula student teams. As somebody who has been developing the method for my team, this is both blessing and a curse. Through hours of research I have basically settled on a process almost just like this. And now the effort seems pointless. I have also figured out mylar is the magic ingredient, but I could not find a supplier who would be selling it by metre in the full width. And BOOM! Easycomposites now sell it, in the same spec as I have seen elsewhere, only they also let you buy per metre. Another thing are the endplates... again, basically the same process. I love you, and I hate you at the same time 😂

@7null for the materials, excluding the equipment (vacuum pump, saw etc.) you'd be looking at about £250/$300. It's hard to say exactly because if you make just one then you'll have offcuts that you don't use (like the Nomex, you won't need much of) but it would be in this range.

Perfect way to show the process, thank for that as usual. One thing that should be taken care of is making sure that the wing is not twisted/doesn't have any dihedral. In RC model airplanes, when vacuum bagging a wing, we place it in the foam cores and put some weight on the top to make sure that neither of the things mentioned happen.

In my formula student team we've been experimenting with using perforated layers (or just peelply) with absorbent layers to draw out much of the excess epoxy in the wet layup wing surfaces. This method has delivered us excellent fibre to epoxy ratios and really light weight wings but with somewhat lacking surface finishes. Same methods have been used for our flat sandwich panels. Having to use as much as 500g/m^2 for bonding the nomex core seems like very much extra weight to me.
@easycompositestv2 жыл бұрын
There’s a LOT of ways that you could get weight out of this component but they pretty much all add complexity and potentially risk producing a defective component. This project isn’t optimised for weight but it’s very forgiving and will almost certainly produce a strong part at an acceptably low weight.
@mckenziekeith74342 жыл бұрын
I wonder if perforated mylar sheet would help. You could have small holes in an evenly spaced grid to let the epoxy squeeze out through the holes, and use an absorbent material (quilted fabric) outside of the perforated mylar.

Maybe not for bolted conections, but for lighter duty connections, honeycomb cores can have areas reinforced with a thickened epoxy paste instead of inserts. If you already have fumed silica and resin for skinning, a different batch with a good bit more fumed silica to get a paste is certainly viable. For this application, metal inserts is probably the right choice, but its a neat technique to have in your toolbox.
@easycompositestv2 жыл бұрын
Yes indeed, there are a number of situations where making a medium density resin paste (fumed silica for the thixotropic property and glass bubbles to reduce the density) can be a good option. Other lighter weight materials can also be substituted for the heavier aluminium, especially if you're not tapping the ally.

@@easycompositestv Thanks so much! Your videos are incredibly well done and I can't thank you enough for them. One more question; I'm doing a wet layup to create my top and bottom caps, instead of adhering pre-cured caps as you do in this video. Given this, should I create my caps first, let them fully cure, sand their surfaces to be bonded, and apply the thickened adhesive to bond the Nomex between them as you describe in this video, or, would it be more efficient to go through the wet layup for the caps, then apply an additional layer of thickened epoxy onto each cap prior to sandwiching the Nomex? I feel like this would give me a chemical bond and result in higher strength, but it would lose the flexural properties of the adhesive. Would love to hear your thoughts.

That’s great to hear. We certainly had FS teams in mind when we made this one 😃.

That was a really good video and it has answered quite a few questions for me, thanks for sharing.. Would love to see a molded airfoil video also
