THE METHOD OF MOLDING AIRFOIL STRUCTURES AND THE LIKE, COMPRISING THE STEPS OF LAYING UP UPON AND AROUND THE SURFACE OF A SPANWISEGROOVED CORE A PLURALITY OF LAMINAE OF PERMEABLE FLEXIBLE MATERIAL CHARACTERIZED BY STRENGTH IN TENSION AND PRE-IMPREGNATED WITH PLASTIC AND TOGETHER CHARACTERIZED BY BEING THINNED UPON MOLDING, PRESSURE-MOLDING THE LAID UP LAMINAE ABOUT THE CORE, WHEREBY THE LAID-UP LAMINAE SHRINK INWARDLY TOWARD THE CORE AS THEY BECOME THINNED, AND SIMULTANEOUSLY PRESSING SUFFICIENT PORTIONS OF THE WRAPPED LAMINAE INWARD INTO EACH GROOVE OF THE CORE TO TAKE UP THAT EXCESS PERIPHERAL LENGTH OF THE LAMINAE WHICH RESULTS FROM SUCH THINNING, THEREBY HOLDING ALL THE FLEXIBLE MATERIAL UNWRINKLED DESPITE SUCH INWARD SHRINKAGE, WHEREBY TO FORM UPON SUCH CORE A SPANWISE-GROOVED MOLDED STRUCTURE.
