F-18E Question

Shitty modelling skills

Also, what is it for?

inb4: it's for flying and maneuvering.

>>32571005
I'm no expert when it comes to planes, but I think it's the wing.

>>32571005
that's just the reference point around which the rest of the plane is built. it doesn't do anything, but don't worry, it has no effect on performance.

>>32571005
Please go away china and stop trying to copy us

>>32571005
that's the shoulder thing that goes up

>>32571005
>What is this part called?
plastic

>>32571472
it's literally made of glocks?

>>32571485

I doubt it, high explosives generally aren't allowed that close to the lifting surfaces

>>32571005
uh...wing root? The part of the fuselage that connects to the wing?

>>32571548
I dont know man, some planes store the armaments in the wings

>>32571692
Yeah,
but thats worse than strapping nitroglycerin to the wing.

That's a plastic model that doesn't get all the parts right because fuck moonrune toys.

It assists in changing the angle of attack by allowing the wing to pivot slightly.

Skub invector. It enhances radar crossfade

Wow Iori, you know so much about planes.

>>32571812
look up what a wing slat is
then kill yourself

>>32571005
It's where the LERX transitions to the LEF.

LERX
>Leading Edge Root Extention

LEF
>Leading Edge Flaperon.

The panel is simply an access panel.

Finally someone who knows what they're talking about and knows what the strakes on the Hornet are.

>>32574377
DELET THIS

I wanted to explain it :(

>>32574793
Soz m9

>>32574318
Alright you dense dolt, he's talking about that parallelogram looking motherfucker, not the wing slats. And OP, I have no clue.

>>32571005
Maybe the wing cuff? The equivalent part on a helicopter blade (connects blade to rotor head) is called a blade cuff. Maybe it's the same for fixed wing.

>>32571005
Nanomachines, son.

>>32575042
that's the wing root seen from the side with the slats down, mongoloid
the parallelogram doesn't exist irl
kill yourself immediately

The square is literally just a fucking panel section.
