Quote:
The H.IX was of mixed construction, with the center pod made from welded steel tubing and wing spars built from wood. The wings were made from two thin, carbon-impregnated plywood panels glued together with a charcoal and sawdust mixture.

The center section was a tube frame for the landing gear, engines and cockpit, while the outer 2/3 was like the Mosquito with added charcoal for more stealth.
