Any chance the Titan plane will be at Oshkosh this summer? I'd really like to see that wrap job in person!

Scott, are there several layers on the fuselage of Titan's airplane or are the colors printed on a single sheet? Seems that the edges of layers could cause some drag, no?
Best,

I have a question for you. Can you wrap an RV-12, which is covered in pop rivets instead of flush rivets?

Pierre,
Good to hear from you! We have the wings coming up?
Titan asked for Weight to be a priority. We can do our installs in various ways, but this install was all printed after template and digitally graphing the aircraft.
Titan pushed AircraftWraps into another level of our aviation specific vinyl product. We truly enjoyed being able to exceed their expectations.
I'd relate their requested parameters to a "race or performance" package within our product's already superior advantages.

Pop-rivets cause ZERO issues with our install process.
Here is a thread with 17 pages of very detailed AircraftWraps information.

Titan rv8 will be center stage in our booth. Should have monster R Series 409, dyno'ed over 230hp last week.

AircraftWraps did a great job!
We designed the scheme for Titan and we just send to AircraftWraps the vector files. This is the result. Amazing collaboration!
Cheers from Italy!

Mirco,
Welcome to the Van's community!
AircraftWraps and aircraftstudiodesign will be working closely together going forward. Its AircraftWraps belief that our future collaborations will bring this amazing communities' designs and performance to another level!
AircraftWraps will continue the traditional RV schemes. When you come to AW for that "ONE-OFF", airshow, show-stopper design... we will be collaborating with aircraftstudiodesign.
Again... welcome Micro and aircraftstudiodesign!

"Distant-Places" Wrap
Copied from another thread:
Seattle and Phoenix are our current areas of focus as we build out our network.
AircraftWraps is already in place! We started this process months ago. Our network of "Aviation" qualified installers will come to your hangar.
We provide 2 options for the "Distant-Places" Wrap:
1. We can fly a "Director" to your location and supervise your install during the entire process to include disassembly and reassembly. Price varies based on travel and hotel cost... MUCH cheaper then owners flying their RV here and roundtrip airfare to Florida!
2. Pilot/Owner Assisted Wrap:We come to you. The pilot/owner signs a NDA regarding our process and becomes a "AircraftWraps Director" for his own aircraft. Pilot/Owner will handle disassembly and reassembly. Our qualified installers will receive ALL direction from AircraftWraps regarding install and required process to AircraftWraps Aviation Installation Standards. The owner will not be charged for any travel or Hotel expense. His involvement and assistance with aircraft hardware specifics will be compensated through a reduced AircraftWraps price.
Again... WE COME TO YOU!
Think about having your plane never leave your hangar and being completed within the week. Zero 100LL cost to the AW client! The saving for our customers will be staggering!
AircraftWraps is the only company offering this service. With environmental concerns over painting products, it's just not an option for that system of aircraft color scheme.
Option 2 was created after MANY of our pilot/builders/owners requested to be involved in the process. We developed this "Distant-Places" wrap program in an effort to involve our clients in their wrap (as requested). We believe this program allows our clients to be involved while protecting the hard earned flight testing data and our install process procedures.
Snowflake,
When would you like us at your Hangar Door!? Your location is prime installation summer weather climate!
Our Phoenix installation... see you in a few months
Air-conditioned/climate-controlled Hangar (Don of Texas), we'll even bring coffee and donuts!
