Applying Monokote® Material to an Airplane Wing

MSOE (Milwaukee School Of Engineering) undergraduate engineering students participate in an SAE Aero Design Competition intended to provide a real-life engineering challenge. Design focus includes minimizing the weight of the plane and increasing the amount of cargo it can carry through high lift and thrust loads. Master Proheat Varitemp® heat gun is used to apply their Monokote® material during the wing's construction. The Monokote® gets tacked on first with a heat sealing tool, then the Master Proheat Varitemp® heat gun is used to essentially shrink wrap the Monokote®.
