Starting with Frame5 which is the Spitfires engine firewall assembly and wing front attachment point.The lower assembly is made up of a front and rear web,spaced out with aluminium spacers and C section brackets.On the front and back are the wing main spar attach spars.There are two upper and two lower spars.
Up the top is the engine firewall which is a sandwich of two thin sheets of .022" aluminium and a 3mm sheet of asbestos or fireproof board..Mounted to the firewall are the various parts and brackets like the hydraulic tank,filters and other fittings for the Merlin.
Hi, Im greatly interested on your project and I wouldnt mind doing the same, well 3d Modelling that is.
ReplyDeleteIt seems very hard to find a complete detailed technical drawings of each parts of the plane itself (although there a numerous images of the profiles on the internet available).
I Curious to learn more about the plane and in doing to, understand each parts and what their functions are for, And to me, to do this, would be a careful study and 3d modelling each parts (using BLENDER 3D software)
I was wondering if you could help.. perhaps starting with the plan of Frame 5?
Thanks in advance, Matt (spartanis74@hotmail.com)
