SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the quest for structural drawings of the Supermarine Spitfire, specifically for use in CATIA, a CAD software developed by Dassault. Users express the need for detailed plans, particularly for the MkXIV variant, but face challenges in obtaining these drawings for free, as they are typically proprietary and closely held. Participants suggest reaching out to Vickers for potential access and emphasize the importance of specifying which drawings are required due to the vast number available.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with CATIA software developed by Dassault
  • Understanding of 3D CAD modeling techniques
  • Knowledge of aircraft design and engineering principles
  • Awareness of intellectual property rights related to engineering drawings
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to contact Vickers for engineering drawing requests
  • Explore online forums and communities for shared Spitfire plans
  • Learn about the specifics of the MkXIV Spitfire's design features
  • Investigate alternative sources for historical aircraft blueprints
USEFUL FOR

Aerospace engineers, CAD designers, aviation enthusiasts, and anyone involved in historical aircraft restoration or modeling projects.

hello..
my last question wasn´t very good on exlplaining what i need..
i need the strutural drawings of the real supermarine spitfire, because i want to draw it on the program ' catia' develop by dassault, this program is like 'solidworks' and for that i need detail plans about the plane.. i found some sites but i have to pay. soo i want to know were can i get them for free.. thanks

Do you really think that you're going to get any "real" engineering drawings from any company for free? I doubt you'd get some even if you offered to pay for them. Engineering drawings are usually closely held assets. Even on a product that is over 50 years old. You can always try writing Vickers to see if they will let you have a copy, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Your best bet is to find someone that has done scale representations and go from there.

I have emailed you, but no response, I have in fact numerous drawings of the MkXIV Spitfire, but which ones you need is a different story, there are thousands down to the last rivet size or wing former. Please advise as to your requirements.

Hello, would I would be most interested in looking at your Spitfire plans. I am in the process of staring a complete new build, including manufacturing a RR Griffon engine. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Paul Vickers. If you could email me that would be great.
 
Hi There

I am also interested in drawing a Spitfire in 3D CAD. Would it be possible to still get the plans from you? Pretty Please?
