The wing design is similar to most modern high-performance composite sailplanes. The spar is a fibreglass I-beam. It is capped with carbon-fibre for extreme tensile strength. This spar is laminated onto a fibreglass sandwich structural wing skin. On the LAMBADA, automatic hook-up of aileron or flaperon drives, flaps, spoilers and the elevator allow safe, easy and quick rigging and de-rigging. The wing spar stubs carry through the fuselage and interlock on assembly. A wingpin secures the spars in place.

The laminar flow wing (Profile SM 701) demonstrates high performance in all modes of flight. The wing complies with the specifications for JAR-22 and JAR-VLA categories, and AULA category in Canada.
ENGINEERING
The original designs of the composite shells were done on the basis of manual calculations. Detailed models of the wing and the fuselage have been created using MSC/NASTRAN.
