Hole in the wing?

Featured Replies

I noticed this little hole in the wing while leaving KORD at night, on the 800WL with PMDG paint, not sure if its on the others yet, I think Ryan and RSR need to get the duct tape out before it falls off LOL.gif2011-9-26_18-38-38-826.jpgYou can see the small hole where the engine is attached to the wing and the house light is showing through

It is, go fly over lights at night near where I have my viewpoint set as and you will see it, once you notice it you will understand!

Its a hole but its the kinda hole that is supposed to be there. If you go outside you aircraft and look along the entire wing you will see others just like it on both wings.

A similar system is used for wing de-icing by the 'hot-wing' method. In icing conditions, water droplets condensing on a wing's leading edge can freeze. This build-up of ice adds weight and changes the shape of the wing, causing a degradation in performance, and possibly a critical loss of control or lift. To prevent this, warm bleed air is pumped through the inside of the wing's leading edge. This heats up the metal, preventing the formation of ice. The air then exits through small holes in the wing edge. Alternatively, bleed air may be used to inflate a rubber boot on the leading edge, breaking the ice loose.

I don't think we are looking at the same thing, I can see right through the entire wing and see the scenery below where I know you cannot see through.

The hole gave it away. But seriously that was a -300 that blew her lid.

Duct tape added, waiting for a passenger to have a panic attack about tape holding the wing on their plane
