Whipple Tree Analysis and Fabrication

For testing the Truss Style Nose Rib for the UWS-4 Ultralight airplane, a Whipple Tree is to be used. A Whipple Tree spreads a single load into multiple individual loads. The design of the Whipple Tree allows the individual loads to be customized for the item being load tested.

This video covers the analysis to design a Whipple Tree and then the fabrication of a Whipple Tree.
