Stainless steel welded shut eyebolt on the bulkhead at top of the airframe; Swivel link on the bottom of the main parachute

42
Q

What is the function of Shock Cord 2?

A

Takes the load on the inflation of the main parachute.

43
Q

What material is the nosecone made of?

A

Fibreglass 8 layers 290 GSM

44
Q

What material is the coupler made of?

A

8 layers 290 GSM

45
Q

How is the coupler attached to the nosecone?

A

12 layers of 200 GSM prepreg unidirectional.
Tailored laminate for strength in primary bending directions.
Symmetric about fin midline but not balanced.

58
Q

How is the fin slots machined?
