Glare Wings

[Lewis Simmons]

Hi All,

Question regarding the glare wings that sit next to the MCP, EFIS etc..

Im designing these parts at the moment and I can't really tell from pics whether the surface of them is hard like wood or if there is a thin leather layer on it? Anyone able to help please?

Hey Lewis,

Glare wings on the real aircraft are actually made of high density foam and then have a vinyl type product vacumn formed onto them. The glare wings actual purpose is a crash pad to save the pilots head from injury in case of an accident but they look pretty darn good too.
