PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and methods that realize construction of wing sections having multi-box wing spars.SOLUTION: An aircraft wing may be constructed by applying one or more layers of a composite material onto a plurality of wing mandrels 500. When placed together, the wing mandrels form the shape of the wing. After the layers of the composite material are applied to each individual mandrel, the mandrels are in contact with each other. Thereafter, the mandrels are compressed using wing surface tooling 506-512 applied to the plurality of wing mandrels. The composite material is thereafter cured. After curing, the wing surface tooling and mandrels are removed, resulting in a wing having multi-box wing spars and skin. |
