Moldless Composite Sandwich
Aircraft Construction
by Burt Rutan
11x17 format with a comb type stay open binder
Moldless Composite Sandwich Aircraft Construction is the manual still used by Burt Rutan and Scaled Composites to train new employees. It was originally written as a construction guide for Rutan Aircraft Factory's Vari-Eze, Long-Eze, and Solitaire builders. This oversized manual is high on technique and low on theory. It presents in a practical manner, the basics of working with composites (glass, resins, foam cores, and fillers) and then offers a series of simple in-shop exercises to develop and practice your skills. We highly recommend it. For anyone considering working with composites, this is the first thing you should have.
Includes an updated materials list for the series of exercises presented.
