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 back to our 5-part series where we are celebrating the anniversary of Charles Lindbergh\u2019s historic solo transatlantic flight by modeling his iconic Spirit of St. Louis monoplane. In part 3 of the series we are going to hollow out a portion of the fuselage using the shell tool, and we will run through a mix of essential and advanced functions to model the wing, horizontal stabilizer, and vertical stabilizer. You will walk away from this part of the series with knowledge of the Split command and Boundary command functionality.<\/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\/racq0o0Jm1I?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?
