Rebuilding Aircraft Wings

 

RJ Dauhn Aircraft requires all their technicians have knowledge relating to the actual aerodynamics of an aircraft wing.  Example:  A Cessna 172 wing incorporates a 3 degree washout to the outboard portion of its wing, while a Cessna 150 possesses but 1 degree.  It is very important that the technician stays true to these specs.  Our technicians are not only taught how to rebuild aircraft wings, and aircraft controls, but, why they are designed as they are.

 

The Cessna 150/152 was designed to be a training aircraft.  The 1 degree washout offers stability, but only a limited amount.  The obvious function is to offer better and more effective “cause and effect” in the training process.  Conversely, the 3 degree washout in the Cessna 172 offers more positive stability. 

 

Wing designs appear to be unlimited.  There are many methods to incorporate proper stall characteristics.  Designs such as a wing washout, stall strips, and even different airfoils are incorporated into a single wing to effect stall characteristics.

 

A low wing aircraft generally has more dihedral designed into the wing then its high wing counterpart, particularly in general aviation.  A high wing aircraft has much of its mass weight located under the wing; the low wing design has its mass above the wing.  The effect is the high wing design offers a “cradle” affect.  As a consequence the high wing design requires less dihedral to affect the same ability as its low wing counterpart.  Simply put; if our technicians are privy to all the elements which go into an aircraft wing design, they will perform as true professionals.  RJ Dauhn Aircraft does not just “potty train” our technicians;  they are cognizant as to “WHY”, not just HOW.

 

RJ Dauhn aircraft doesn't just have the knowledge, but the equipment to perform rebuilding your wing, no matter what manufacturer.
