I think Ron S is saying a lot of smart things here.  To boil it down, combining the bulkhead shape with the function of the spar to resist bending probably is not the best approach. A carrythru spar of rectangular construction would handle bending and twist loads, and be easier and lighter to construct.  A straight spar could also be bolted in and removed for maintenance or replacement without tearing the fuselage apart.  If the wings are to sweep back, twisting loads must be considered. A box spar would help with that as well

Tubular aluminum 6061 of rectangular cross section up to at least 6"x6"  with varying thickness is commecially available in reasonable lengths.  The ends could be milled to the needed shape and the whole beam would slide thru the fuselage and bolt to the fuselage bulkheads.  Those bulkheads could then be built much lighter, although they would still need to deliver the twisting loads to the fuselage skin.

I also have been thinking that there should be some sort of fuselage keel system to enhance longitudinal strength. It does not need to be on the centerline, but perhaps vertical supports along the sidewalls of the bomb-bays should be built as integrated stiffeners.

Speeking of B-58. Bob wants to do that next. I have a 1/8.8 scale started but he wants it to be 1/6th scale. Why not? I guess when I get some time I will cut it for him. The picture shows the size of the one I started on the left next to a 1/6th scale on the right. 1/6th has 6180 sq" of wing area.


A 1/6th Scale B-58!  

Excuse me while I faint... in other words - Good Luck with that project.  Thats something I would like to see fly as much as this B-1B!

But Several of us are going to bomber field this weekend to see the new runway and show the "B-1B Model " I was able to talk Bob and his Dad in to coming down and show off the B-1B Model. It should be something different for everyone to look at. It won't be hard to find ! Ha ! It will be Bob, his Dad, Paul Stelly and myself coming down on Friday about Noon. Butch

My guess...
  • Citation XLS+
  • Citation Sovereign
  • Citation X
My money is on the XLS+ based on the shortness of the fuselage.  The Citation X is a little different on the fairings and the Soveriegn looks longer.
