Does anyone know where to buy the rolls of aviation grade carbon fiber and the epoxy/aviation grade binder? Does anyone know how they make the carbon fiber ribs. Does anyone know if graphene is a thing yet in aviation structures?
I plan on building out a solid works model of a wing and then dividing it up into pieces on the software (still have to figure that part out) and then machine each piece out of foam and put them together some how, then have a fiberglass place make a mold.
What are some of the gothcas that will get you killed with a failed wing out of carbon fiber?
How do you build a mold for the ribbing, do you just layer up a big block of carbon fiber and then machine the shape? Or do you use a metal skelton and then just wrap the fiber around it like paper meche?
