"Its just like a flat panel, only curved"
That how I had envisioned the cabin curves of my WIP design, which uses conic sections. They're what would be referred to as "developable", since they either follow the curve of a cylinder or a conic section. The forward and aft ends of the cabin are similar to Saab 99 windshields in curvature..
But, what if, and that's a big if, the curvature is gentle, especially along it cabin long side is enough to that an already flat made infused panel and bend it to fit like in the video I uploaded in Flat Wrap? That would save me from building a form. Just bend them along temporary frames. Of course, I would find out the limits of bending them to conform to the curve of a conic section in the process and that's an unknown factor to me.
