i case study

Client Need:

Spika’s client is the manufacturer of a tiltrotor military aircraft. They needed one set of custom platforms for safe access to the top wing and fuselage surfaces. Access to these areas provided a serious fall risk and tying off was not an option in the facility. They needed a second set of platforms for use in the strip or paint booth. Those platforms had to provide access to the top of the sponson area as well as cabin side skins.

Solution:

Spika worked closely with the customer to develop platforms that met the exacting specifications and requirements for the systems. The customer had unlimited access to engineering personnel to discuss the details of the design, and the project went through several design reviews to ensure complete alignment with requirements.

Technical Information:

  • Height adjustability and a platform pitch matching the angle of the wing
  • Drop-down doors to allow movement of the nacelles into the vertical position
  • Stringent requirements for handrail strength and stiffness, while remaining man-portable
  • Air, electric, and vacuum supply

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
