Kit-built Assembly Parts
As the Skywalker VTOL plane is finalized, Mirror Image Aerospace will provide an elevated standard for kit built aircraft elements, incorporating integrated advanced composite large assembly pieces.
• Tooling is generated from CAD/CAM SolidWorks programs
• Precision molds produce Accurate consistent parts
• Support skins formed with Epoxy Prepreg Graphite reinforcements
• Super lightweight flex Honeycomb cores provide strength
• Void free Vacuum Bagged pressurized laminate panels
• Heat cured Stabilized assemblies decrease long term fatigue
• Drill fixtured and Robotic hole locations provide accurate assembly
The Skywalker VTOL aircraft kit will have the necessary items for the complete aircraft. Your involvement consists in providing the painting materials, a communications radio, a few tools and an enjoyable effort assembling the crafted pieces.
It does not require extended labor or intensive fabrication processes as the parts are formed, trimmed and pre-drilled for assembly.
