　 Although dimension of the body is 5000mm x 1800mm, its weight is about 30kg including cells.
The materials are styrene boards for stiffening ribs, foamed polystyrene for forming structural unit and Zylon® for reinforcement.

　 Zylon® is the next generation super fiber with strength and modulus almost doubles that of p-Aramid fiber. It is very light, but has the highest tensile strength and modulus, flame resistance and thermal stability. Its typical applications are protective clothings for the fire fighters, heat-resistant clothings for astronauts, sailcloths, and so on.(>>more info)
　 　
icon ribs
　
　 We use 7mm styrene boards for ribs.

We bonded foamed styrene together like stairs. Then trimmed off the excess parts smoothly. However, the rear of the body has a smaller curvature, we bowed 5mm styrene boards along the ribs.

　 We bonded Zylon woven fabric with epoxy for reinforcement.
Zylon has a good heat conductance like metal. It would take the heat from cells.
