Design

All WAR replicas share a common wooden primary structure. A secondary foam and fiberglass structure shape the aircraft to roughly match the aircraft it is replicating.[3] The P-47 uses uni-directional fiberglass layup on the fuselage, and bi-directional layup on the elliptical wings.[4] A bisected mockup was first presented at the EAA airshow in 1976.[5]
