Some news about the Hawker Typhoon project.
They are still looking for parts. Any help welcome
Hawker Typhoon JP843
We currently have data for several sections of the main and rear spar along with most of the heavy ribs; the scan will allow the capture of outer, nose, and trailing edge rib geometry. We can then combine known manufacturing information and material specifications with proven geometry to reverse engineer various components. One of the key areas we will need more information for is the inner wing section (including front and rear spars). The limiting factor with 3D scanning is the internal make-up; where other information isn't available we need examples that can be internally inspected. Due to the heavy construction of the Typhoon's inner wing, it is hoped that sections may still be located to help us move forward. If anyone has information that can help, please do contact us.
