In the mid-1960s, a range of graphite-reinforced epoxy composite parts such as wing tips, nose cones, tail caps, trailing edges of wings, and air-inlet ducts were developed for military jets such as Lockheed's F-104 Starfighter, LTV Aerospace's A7A Corsair II, Grumman's W2F-Hawkeye (with a carbon-fiber propeller), and the Phantom F4. The hood inner and outer panels combine the expected rolled flange at the leading and trailing edges with a "tabbed" side flange. Spirit also designs and produces slats, flaps, forward leading edges and trailing edges for 737 wings, slats and floor beams for the 777 airplane, and wing and fuselage components for the 747. |
