WING
The wing is basically the same for RE 2000,
RE 2001, RE 2002, RE 2003, apart from radiators position and some minor
details. It a metallic and cantilever wing.
The wing is composed by:
- 5 wing spars
- metal sheet wing ribs sections with holes for weight reduction
- wing top surface stiffened by corrugated metal sheet
- wing bottom surface stiffened by curled-stringers
The wing planform is elliptical and:
- airfoil thickness is decreasing from centerline to tip
- biconvex asymmetric airfoils
- 5 wing spars
- metal sheet wing ribs sections with holes for weight reduction
- wing top surface stiffened by corrugated metal sheet
- wing bottom surface stiffened by curled-stringers
The wing planform is elliptical and:
- airfoil thickness is decreasing from centerline to tip
- biconvex asymmetric airfoils
Total wing washout (referred to zero lift axes):
+1.05°
-1.15°
+1.05°
-1.15°
It's composed by 5 parts:
- central section
- 2 half wings
- 2 wing tips
