In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web.

Can anybody out there in biplane land explain tome the details of the design of HiperBipe wings? They look to have a Cassutt type airfoil with plywood ribs, center pressure spar with stressed skin. Does the plywoodrib web also have a cap strip top and bottom? What is the thickness of the plywood rib?What is the skin 3/32" or 1/8"? 45 or 90 degree? What is the airfoil? Any comments regarding known history of the wing design and low and high speed performance?



Thanks for any info.


Dennis
