Nearly there! The Stirling Aircraft Project has nearly put all of the trials and tribulations of 2010 behind us and we should be in our new workshop by the first weekend of 2011. As stated before we’ve been busy behind the scenes doing research and working on smaller items.

One area where we’ve made great progress is in finalising the CAD model of the forward fuselage, the area immediately forward of the cockpit has been especially problematic as it is more complex than you’d first imagine and we think we’re nearly there. This should allow us to start drawing up the frames in detail.

The following CAD extracts are probably the closest yet to an original aircraft in shape and form, the slightly prominent ‘ridges’ forward of the windscreen are a feature of the modelling and will not be apparent on the full sized item 😉

In the meantime enjoy and have a Happy New Year. 😀

Glad you got in touch mate, when do they plan to open their doors again, after Easter?

No idea at present, I’ll ask my contact when he gets back to me

Hi Laurence, I now have an email contact via PM for someone who I used to know there. I’ll give them a try and see how it goes

thanks

John

Thanks for that, I seem to remember that he mentioned that he wasn’t involved with them any more but I’ll contact him just in case.
