Manila folder 777-300ER - Wing update - Inboard flapsssss!

At long last, after having started the designs in 2017 and taking a multi-year break before picking them up again last year, I've built a (successful) test piece for the double-slotted inboard flaps. Safe to say they're working as intended! Probably one of the more challenging parts of the wing as there's all kinds of complicated shapes and mechanics at play, but that's thankfully all behind me. So cool to see it all come together like this.
Next up will be the outboard (single-slotted) flaps :D
Feel free to hit me up with any questions you have! And thanks as always for watching.

Definitely. Especially with something this complex, doing it in 2D pretty much guarantees things with slip through the cracks, which is why I've been building these test pieces. If I were designing in 3D, I would probably have less of a need to build everything out.

Nope, just paper and glue. No oils or waxes. I was very concerned about how much friction I might be dealing with, but it doesn't seem to be an issue. I'll probably post another more detailed/nerdy video about some of the solutions I came up with, if you're curious.

My designs are, shall we say, heavily inspired by the real thing, in the sense that they have all the same general pieces, but of course I've had to make some significant modifications for the smaller scale and the fact that they're made from paper. I wouldn't say they're a 1:1 though. The real thing has a completely different drive mechanism, for instance (rotating tube down the length of the wing, vs sliding strip for mine).

I cut the folders/sheets down to size and print at home. I have the Canon Pixma Pro-100 which can print up to 13x24" which is great for larger pieces like the wings. In terms of the paper I'm using, I have two different thicknesses. This is the "regular" thickness for finer details: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002IXM3AW/ And this is the thicker paper for structural parts: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013CME9E/

You might think BOM has the lead, but they haven't posted any real updates in 1-2 years. Luca could still win. He's only been gone 9+ months.
