Hi guys,
I have two different questions, but didn't wanted to make separate threads.
1) Does anyone know where I can buy an electronic copy of "Moldless Composite Sandwich Aircraft Construction" by Burt Rutan? Is it even available in ebook format?
Couldn't find it online. A hard copy from Amazon will take more than a week or so to arrive because I live outside of the US. Wanted to go through some of the content this weekend.
2) What is the general consensus on composite wings without ribs? I'm currently designing a model with an estimated MTOW of around 90kg and a wing span of around 4.5 meters (wing will be swept-back and tapered), and was thinking of going with a rib-less design similar to: cured composites
Are there other examples of rib-less designs?
