While the use of carbon fibre has allowed the creation of sweeping wing tips which can cut fuel consumption by up to 5 both aircraft are still fairly conventionally shaped.
Carbon fiber plane wing.
I have actually built a whole wing this way.
And at only 60 grams no drone licence required.
It is over 1 000 times stronger than the foam used in most rc planes.
Wings made entirely of carbon fiber or other composite materials exist as well as wings made of a combination of materials for maximum strength to weight performance.
The kevlar is used to create a hinges for the aileron and rudder.
The foam wing core kevlar fiberglass and carbon fiber.
Redwingrc carbon fiber wing tubes are strong and light weight exactly the way it should be.
The wing described in the journal soft robotics is made up of small carbon fiber parts that intersect to form a flexible lightweight lattice that s still stiff in all the right directions.
Carbon fiber is not only stronger than the balsa wood and plastic used in other model airplanes but is also light and flexible.
Carbon fiber consists of thin strong crystalline filaments composed of nearly pure carbon.
I carbon fiber most of my planes.
It requires quite a few different materials to build a composite wing though the end product is only composed of.
Also most of my ep foam planes i use c f tow and fiberglass on the leading edge of the wing then smooth it down with wax paper.
Available in three sizes a 20cc 30cc and 50cc size.
The fiber glider is made out of aircraft grade carbon fiber for the fuselage wing and tail.

This design is going to have a v tail so the elevator has no hinge.
