I am really curious about one of the more peculiar aspects of the Blackbird design, and how it's going to be incorporated into the model.
The beast leaked like a sieve on the runway, and once she got up into the air, and the friction of the airflow over the skin built up, the skin expanded to seal up the airframe. Therefore, there were "corrugations" built into in the titanium skin, to allow for thermal expansion.
How on earth are you going to model these into paper? I'm sure you're going to be successful, but for some reason, I can't get my head around how to do it.
Enquiring minds, and all that.... LOL
