To celebrate the anniversary of Lindy\u2019s achievement we\u2019re showing SOLIDWORKS users how to model a 30\u201d wingspan version of his iconic aircraft. Throughout this series, we\u2019ll fly through lessons on how to work off imported images, and we\u2019ll use a series of extrusions, lofts, and sweeps to model the Spirit of St. Louis.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to part 2 of our series where we are modeling Lucky Lindy\u2019s Spirit of St. Louis monoplane using a series of imported images to model around. \u00a0We left off in part 1 of the series with all our reference images imported including 3 main views and a few of the bulkhead shapes. \u00a0We also have our main side view outline sketched. \u00a0In part 2 of the series we will sketch in our various bulkhead profile shapes and guide curves to build the fuselage using a series of Lofts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\">\n<div class=\"entry-content-asset\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xSxxiCfi9kk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re an aviation enthusiast or are just looking for a new SOLIDWORKS challenge, the Lindbergh&#8217;s Spirit of St. Louis tutorial series is for you!<\/p>\n<p>Can&#8217;t wait to watch the next video?
