{"product_id":"vintage-aircraft-wing-leading-edge-wing-box-section","title":"Vintage Aircraft Wing Leading-Edge Wing Box Section","description":"\u003cp\u003eElongated aluminum aircraft wing component constructed as a closed leading-edge wing box (D-section), comprising curved exterior skin riveted to a series of internal formed ribs. This assembly formed the forward structural portion of an aircraft wing, providing torsional rigidity while defining the aerodynamic leading edge ahead of the primary spar. The interior retains its original zinc chromate green primer, a corrosion-inhibiting coating standard in American aircraft production from the WWII period through the early jet age.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe progressive taper and overall length indicate this section originated from the outer portion of a wing rather than the inboard root. Evenly spaced rivet holes along the edges show where the assembly attached to adjacent wing structure and skin panels. Removed intact as a unit, this is a complete wing leading-edge box section rather than an isolated skin panel or internal spar member. In its current state, the piece presents as a striking aerospace artifact with strong sculptural and industrial presence.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAppears to be in good overall condition. Surface oxidation, grime, and handling marks are present consistent with age and removal from service. Rivet holes are intact, internal ribs are sound, and no major cracks, tears, or deformation are observed.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nApprox. 12\" W x 14\" D at widest point\u003cbr\u003e\nApprox. 103\" H\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMM - 18460 - 122325\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece will need to ship via freight.
