This is a composite wing of a European light aircraft manufacturer. You can see that it has carbon sandwich ribs and glass sandwich ribs. The carbon ribs support flaps and ailerons and are carbon tape bonding to wing skin and spar. The glass fiber/foam ribs are bonding without tape, only glue (micro?). What do you think about this construction system?
