Preserving and reviving old time aeroplanes' memory
Some aircraft designs stand the test of time. Unfortunately, some classy designs disappear due to tougher years in aero sales or a momentary market driven need for newer aircraft. Still, many pilots and aircraft leasing companies are interested in these previous designs which appeal to them. First of all, they cannot bring themselves to believe that some day, these airplanes could simply not be available anymore. Second of all, they see amazing commercial potential in it. Nowadays, numerous aircraft companies are emerging and bank on the fact that this market segment is not yet fully occupied. These entrepreneurs buy the rights to manufacture discontinued aircraft, and, from scratch, take on the challenge of reviving the spirit of these older birds. The task at hand is not a simple one, as these aircraft were never designed in 3D CAD– this technology did not even exist at the time– and 2D drawings and are often out of date. What remains to be done is the painstaking measurement of everything on the aircraft and amendment of the drawings, if even available.
However, thanks to 3D scanning, this process can be quite simplified.
Gracias.
