I have tried this similar model, using the surface modeling in Fusion 360. And I think it could be better using the surface modeling approach, since we can set the surface continuity between the wing and the winglet surfaces. If we use the solid modeling approach, it wouldn't create a smooth transition between the wing and the winglet surfaces. Try to check it using zebra analysis and you will spot the mismatched surface.
You are right, it's a lot easier to do it with Surfaces. But If you add more rails, you could make even more precised in the model environment. I just wanted to show the technique and people can use it and develop it as they want. Thanks a lot for you feedback! 👍
@@Fusion360NewbiesPlus Thanks for your good response. Yes it can be precise using more rails in a solid modeling, but the surface quality is not good enough. I think this kind of modeling will be perfect using surface modeling approach.
Really nice. But I've got a different problem to solve, coul'd be interesting to solve for you too (or simply to find the easier way): I'm projecting wings for hydrofoiling and giving the shape to a wing I encountered a problem. (I'm just trying Fusion 360 to see how it works. I usually work with Solid edge and less on Solid works). I need to give two different curves on different axis to the loft between two profiles (profiles are on offset planes and different Y heights). Ok... I need to give at the same time a curved shape on the YZ plane and a curved shape on the XY plane. Works perfectly if I use two rails on the YZ plane or on an angled plane.... and works perfectly if I give the curvature using a centeline on the YZ plane.... but is impossible to use both in the same solid... My idea was to give the rail shapes and then to add the centerline.... but fusion wants to use one option one by one. Impossible to use both techniques in the same lofted protrusion? Any idea? Thanks ruclips.net/video/jACxsRBBGck/видео.html I made this video to explain. Sorry is in italian because I made it for a Fusion 360 italian group... but after I explained the problem it could be usefull to understand better.
Hello My kid in high school is drafting a project on the effects of winglets on vorticity. Which simulator is simple enough to show the vortex by changing the parameters of the winglet without being an engineer? thank you for your reply
Did you do a video explaining what draft analysis is? Because I cannot figure out what it means? Does refer to how stress is distributed along he wing? Or is it referring to the airflow around the wing? Can you explain that please?
This was exactly what I was looking for today. Really good explanations. Thanks!
Awesome! I would have loved to hear more about the draft analysis (and, more generally, all analysis you can do in F360 regarding an airplane design)
how to place airfoil at the top?

Thanks for your Help! Im just working on a JS4. 🙂
great video with full explanation needed accompanied with visual details. deserves like and SUB.thank you
Feels like you stopped before it was done. How do you model the tip so it's not just a clean cut of flat surface?
Amazing tutorial, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Great!
An exemplary video tutorial.
Show how you got that rib pattern out in space also!
Really nice.

for some reason when I select my rails, it keeps giving an error saying that the loft would intersect itself. What may be the problem? I'm stuck.
Can you do a tutorial on curve winglet with pointy ends like the Airbus A350?

How can I put the airfoil at the top? Thanks!
What aerofoil spec did you use

The best is Microsoft Simulator 👌
@@Fusion360NewbiesPlus Thank you, Can we simulate the airflow and vortex with MS Simulator?
As far as I know you can. I have used it for training as well.
Did you do a video explaining what draft analysis is?

Can you explain that please?
This video is not about the "draft analysis". I used the it as a tool help me figure out the surface curvature (quality).
@@Fusion360NewbiesPlus yes but how do you use it?
Tools > draft analysis > select a body and then select a direction (one of the axis x,y,z)
and mold design that?
I’d like to see how caped winglets can be achieved also.
You can contact me on my website forum and I'll help you 🙂
