What is it these apparent lines and rivets on the CRJ’s wings? I have compared photos of the aerosoft crj and of real life videos and these rivets, points, spots or whatever apparently do not match, I do not understand what they want to represent since it seems that the wing is not polished
I am attaching photos so that you understand me better, my question is, what it is those points? since comparing photos with a wing of the crj I do not see that they appear in the middle of the wing, I do not understand what it is, represent rivets? dirt? wear?
forgive my ignorance, I did not know that in the middle of the wings of an airplane there are rivets, since I thought that the wing has to be completely polished, can you show me a photo where I can see? just curiosity
Even if a wing is polished you will be able to see rivets, especially if the light is shining at a shallow angle.
If it’s not a bonded wing skin, there will be rivets all over the wing.
You can see a bit of the rivet line in ‘the middle of the wing’ here:
I think I’ve said it before, but I think it needs restating. I am thankful I am around in an era of flight simulation where we can complain about rivet placement on a wing.
Not a dig at the OP, just a statement on the quality of the sim.
Yes. The thin solid lines are the (very) small gaps between individual aluminum plates/panels. Each one is precisely drilled to match up with holes in each individual rib and spar, then everything is assembled with flush rivets.
