MULTI-BOX WING SPAR AND SKIN Apparatus (500) and methods provide for the construction of wing sections having multi-box wing spars. According to one aspect of the disclosure provided herein, an aircraft wing may be constructed by applying one or more layers of composite material onto a plurality of wing mandrels (100). The wing mandrels (100), when placed together, form the shape of the wing. After the layers of composite material (200, 300, 502) are applied to each individual mandrel (500), the mandrels (100) are abutted together. Thereafter, the mandrels (100) are compressed using wing surface tooling (504) applied to the plurality of wing mandrels (100). The composite material is thereafter cured. After curing, the wing surface tooling (504) and mandrels (100) are removed, resulting in a wing having multi-box wing spars and skin. |
