Abstract
A self-aligning wing structure and method of assembly utilizes a main spar formed with spaced apart notch openings. The main spar is positioned on a substantially flat surface for receiving a plurality of ribs formed with leading edge slot openings and trailing edge slot openings. A leading edge core member is slid into the rib leading edge slot openings and a trailing edge core member is slid into the rib trailing edge slot openings. Accordingly, it is possible to achieve a self-aligning aerodynamic wing structure in accordance with the present invention.
