WingBones Tendon™: continuous carbon fiber
Tendon joiners carry continuous carbon fiber, embedded in a red polymer that bonds with the WingBones carbon fiber composite, laid along the path the flight loads take.
Holds the line. Takes one for the wing. Under operating loads, the wing holds its angle. In a very hard landing or a crash, the joiner is the part that gives way, not the wing. Without that design intent a continuous-fiber joiner could be far too strong for a crash. No breakaway design is perfect, because no two crashes are the same, but the intent is built into every Tendon.
Bench-tested. Flight-tested. Every Tendon grade is flex and impact tested on WingBones test rigs, and each plane's Tendon design has been flown.
- Your angle. Choose a standard angle or a custom angle in 0.5° steps.
- Free shipping in the USA. Every Tendon joiner ships free within the USA.
