Wing Helper is a state of the art 3D CAD program for design of RC plane models. Wing Helper is oriented towards ambitioned RC modelers, who are beyond building models according to ready made plans, and who want to start designing, building and flying their own creations. There is nothing more thrilling and joyful than seeing the result of hours and hours of hard work taking off into the blue skies and magnificently soaring through the air, knowing that it is the result of own engineering knowledge, efforts, and diligence!
We are looking forward to supporting you in this adventure. With Wing Helper, we chose a novel approach to modelling. We don't want to stand in the way of your creativity with arcane and inconsistent user interfaces, multitude of options of suspicious level of usefulness, or by imposing long and tedious work-flows on you. Wing Helper is strongly favoring the simplicity and fast visual representation of all steps in the design process. You will be surprised how few clicks are actually needed to produce great results!
And the best of it all is: we want you, our customers, to tell us about your needs and your desires. We are keen on learning from you what these may be and to introduce them in the future versions of the Wing Helper. In the version line 1.x, the Wing Helper focuses on the definition of the main wing - the very heart of every plane. for the future, we foresee adding support for defining empennage, fuselage, electronics, investigating the physical plane characteristics, etc. Which of these functions we are going to add to Wing Helper and in which order will largely depend on your input and your requirements.
Basic Functionality
Definition of the main wing as a set of panels (trepezoid or free-form)
Standard parameters: length, root and tip chord, dihedral, sweep, tip twist
Possibility to load a background image of the wing as a design guidance
Selection from approximately 1500 existing airfoils
separate airfoils for the root and for the tip ribs (airfoil interpolated along the panel)
control point resolution greatly improved over the usual airfoils available on the Internet (centripetal Catmul-Rom interpolation)
Including the performance data, as imported from The Airfoil Investigation Database (with the permission from author)
Automated parameter based rib generation with option for manual modifications
Six types of spars: round spars, rectangular spars (with or without associated webbing components), webbing, round joiners, cuboids, cuboid joiners
Placement from the leading edge or trailing edge, measurement in percentage or in mm, separate end position, …
Joiner spars accounting for the dihedral angle
Automatic definition of ailerons (extended in 1.5)
Support for rib combs
Definition of leading and trailing edges
Definition of wing sheeting
Definition of lightening holes for ribs
Airfoil interpolation spanning multiple panels
Definition of half-ribs (new in 1.5)
Support for "Shipways" (new in 1.5)
Instantaneous OpenGL based 3D view available at all times!
View presets, zoom, pan, rotate, transparency, "ghost panels" with separate transparency and color control
Distance measurement tool for early control of the resulting ribs
Smart panel creation based on the previous panel
Normal creation, 1:1 copy, spar mirror copy, spar smart copy
Export into following formats
DXF
PDF
SCAD (3D format for the program OpenSCAD)
ICE (G-Code export in HOW format)
NGC/NC (G-Code for 4-Axis CNC wire cutters - new in 1.5)
Airfoil management
Support for import of additional airfoils in DAT or COR formats, including airfoil modification and automated smoothing of the front part of the rib
Definition of new airfoils
Undo / Redo functionality
Multi-language support (English and German)
Streamlined and fast workflow as the highest design aim!
