HARDPOINTS
Often you will be required to mechanically attach another piece to a composite structure. One method of doing this is to fabricate a "hardpoint".
HARDPOINT - A strengthened section of the under-wing or fuselage, intended for the carriage of external weapons or stores, usually on pylons.
HELICOPTER - A heavier-than-air craft with a powered rotary wing.
Starting in mid-1944, the TBM-3 began production (with a more powerful powerplant and wing hardpoints for drop tanks and rockets). The dash-3 was the most numerous of the Avengers (with about 4,600 produced).
