The Design and Structure of the Dark Arrow One Wing

🔋The wing is made of carbon fiber composite and is exceptionally light but strong enough to support thousands of pounds of lift load.

🪑The wing structure includes a spar, which resists bending loads, and a hollow grid, which provides internal support and stability.

🌬️The wing is designed to avoid negative air elastic effects like flutter, structural divergence, and control reversal.

⚖️The wing is designed to be stiff to keep the controls safe and light to maximize useful load capacity for fuel.

🏗️The hollow grid design allows for weight savings, improved manufacturability, and optimization of the internal structure.
