To my supprise not so difficult: The wing actually has a 'skeleton'
consisting out of 16 x 1 technic beams in a standard configuration...
ehhh... how to explain this in ASCII....
Beam: [OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO]]OOOOOOOOO]...........
2x 1/3 height plates: === ========

Beam: [OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO][OOOOOOOOO]........
Put some vertical bars onto it for strenght, and you can make a very long
and very stable bar, onto which the rest of the wing
construction was 'hanged'. By coincidence, the wing thus got a maximum
thickness that still was in the right scale. (no too thick)
