4 FUSELAGE
5 FUSELAGE ASSEMBLAGE
6 TYPES OF FUSELAGE STRUCTURE Box truss type The structural elements resemble those of a bridge, with emphasis on using linked triangular elements. The aerodynamic shape is completed by additional elements called formers and stringers and is then covered with fabric and painted Monocoque the exterior surface of the fuselage is also the primary structure Semi-monocoque A series of frames in the shape of the fuselage cross sections are held in position on a rigid fixture, or jig. These frames are then joined with lightweight longitudinal elements called stringers. These are in turn covered with a skin of sheet aluminum, attached by riveting or by bonding with special adhesives
7 SEMI-MONOCOQUE FUSELAGE Semi-monocoque fuselage structure consists of Longerons / stringers (Longitudinal members) Longerons carries the bending load as axial load Stringers also carry axial load Stringers stabilize the skin Framing (Transverse members) Provide the shape to the fuselage Reduce the stringer length thus avoiding overall instability Skin Carries the shear load from the cabin pressure, external transverse and torsional loads Bulkheads Bulkheads are provided at concentrated loading regions such as wing attachments, tail attachments and landing gear locations
8 SEMI-MONOCOQUE FUSELAGE
9 COMPARISON OF FUSELAGE & WING STRUCTURE WINGS FUSELAGE Spar caps carry axial loads induced by bending Longerons and stringers carry axial load induced by bending Shear loads are resisted by spar web Transverse shear loads are carried by skin Rib design is influenced by local air loads Fuselage frames are influenced by concentrated loads Wing skin thickness is more compared to fuselage skin Because of the curvature, the fuselage skins under compressive and shear load are more stable Less skin thickness is used External pressure loads are more on the wing skin External pressure loads are very less on the fuselage skin

16 EMPENNAGE Empennage is the tail portion of an aircraft The empennage gives stability to the aircraft and controls the pitch and yaw. In simple terms the empennage may be compared to the feathers of an arrow, colloquially; "Tail Feathers" Structurally, the empennage consists of the entire tail assembly, including the fin, tail plane and the part of the fuselage to which these are attached.

22 AIRCRAFT LOADS Loads and forces applied on the aircraft structural components to establish the strength level Air pressure Inertial loads Landing loads
23 DESIGN LOADS LIMIT LOAD: Maximum load anticipated in aircraft service life time Load aircraft structure should withstand without causing any permanent deformation ULTIMATE LOAD = 1.5 x LIMIT LOAD LOADS SPECIFIED BY THE LOAD GROUP IS ALWAYS THE LIMIT LOAD
24 SAFETY FACTOR SAFETY FACTOR = ULTIMATE LOAD /LIMIT LOAD SAFETY FACTOR IS PROVIDED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS UNCERTAINTIES IN LOADS INACCURACIES IN STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS VARIATIONS IN STRENGTH PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS DETORIATION DURING SERVICE LIFE VARIATION IN FABRICATION IN NOMINALLY IDENTICAL COMPONENTS
25 AIRSPEED Airspeed (AS) Speed of the aircraft relative to air Indicated Airspeed (IAS) Speed of an aircraft as shown on its pitot static airspeed indicator True Airspeed (TAS) Physical speed of the aircraft relative to the air surrounding the aircraft Vt = V g V w Equivalent Airspeed (EAS) Speed at sea level that would produce the same incompressible dynamic pressure as the true airspeed at the altitude at which the vehicle is flying Vi = 1 + M + M + M Ve
26 LIMITING AIRSPEED Limiting Airspeed Speed of the aircraft up to which the structure may not undergo any permanent damage Crossing the limiting airspeed may cause Critical gust Destructive flutter Aileron reversal Wing or surface divergence Stability and control problems Damaging buffets
27 FORCES ON AN AIRCRAFT
28 LIFT Lift is a mechanical force generated by solid objects as they move through a fluid Lift is the sum of all the fluid dynamic forces on a body perpendicular to the direction of the external flow approaching that body Lift generated on an airfoil depends on Angle of attack Speed of the air flow Total area Density of air 1 2 L = ρv SC L 2
29 AIRFOIL Airfoil is the shape of a wing or blade (of a propeller, rotor or turbine) or sail as seen in cross-section Airfoils are Symmetric (Mean camber line coincides with chord line) Cambered
30 AIRFOIL TERMINOLOGY Leading edge Trailing edge Leading edge is the front edge of the airfoil Trailing edge is the back edge of the airfoil The mean camber line is a line drawn half way between the upper and lower surfaces. The chord line is a straight line connecting the leading and trailing edges of the airfoil, at the ends of the mean camber line. The chord is the distance between the leading edge and trailing edge The maximum thickness and the location of maximum thickness are expressed as a percentage of the chord Camber is the asymmetry between the top and bottom curves of an aerofoil
31 PRESSURE VARIATION F = pn A = pn da Γ
32 LIFT GENERATION Lift is a force generated by turning a moving fluid Force = mass x acceleration (F=ma) m(v V ) F = Force = mass x Change in velocity (t t ) NOTE: Changing either the direction or speed of the flow generates a force
33 LIFT COEFFICIENT
34 THRUST Thrust is a force created by a power source which gives an airplane forward motion. It can either "pull" or "push" an airplane forward. Thrust is that force which overcomes drag. Thrust is generated by Propellers Jet engines
35 DRAG Drag is the aerodynamic force that opposes an aircraft's motion through the air Drag is generated by every part of the airplane Drag is generated by the difference in velocity between the solid object and the fluid For drag to be generated, the solid body must be in contact with the fluid. If there is no fluid, there is no drag Drag acts in a direction that is opposite to the motion of the aircraft
36 CLASSIFICATION OF DRAG Drag is generally divided into three categories: Parasitic drag Lift-induced drag Wave drag Parasitic (Parasite) Drag is comprises of Form drag (Pressure drag) Skin-friction drag Interference drag
37 TYPES OF DRAG Skin friction drag: Drag due to the skin friction between the molecules of air and the solid surface of the aircraft Form drag: Form drag is due to aerodynamic resistance to the motion of the object through the fluid. This drag depends on the shape of the aircraft Interference drag: Whenever two surfaces meet at a sharp angle on an airplane, the airflow has a tendency to form a vortex. Accelerating the air into this vortex causes drag on the plane Lift-induced drag: is a drag force which occurs whenever a lifting body generates lift Wave drag: Wave drag is associated with the formation of the shock waves Ram drag: Ram drag is associated with slowing down the free stream air as air is brought inside the aircraft
38 SKIN FRICTION DRAG Skin friction occurs because air has viscosity. The entire skin friction drag is created within the boundary layer Because air is viscous there is a shearing force occurring within the boundary layer
39 FORM DRAG Form drag depends primarily upon the size and shape of the object Form drag is due to the pressure difference between front and behind the object Flow separation increases form drag Ex: When we walk through water we will feel as though we are being held back. This is due to the combination of the build up of pressure in front of us, and the decrease in pressure behind us. This can be seen visually by the rising wave in front of us and the depression in the water behind us
40 FORM DRAG Form drag depends primarily upon the size and shape of the object Form drag is due to the pressure difference between front and behind the object
41 INTERFERENCE DRAG Interference drag is the effect of an aerodynamic component on another: wing-body, wing-nacelle, vertical-horizontal tail, junctions
42 INDUCED DRAG Induced drag occurs because the flow near the wing tips is distorted spanwise as a result of the pressure difference from the top to the bottom of the wing Swirling vortices are formed at the wing tips, which produce a down wash of air behind the wing which is very strong near the wing tips and decreases toward the wing root The local angle of attack of the wing is increased by the induced flow of the down wash, giving an additional, downstream-facing, component to the aerodynamic force acting over the entire wing
43 LIFT INDUCED DRAG F L D Induced drag 2 2W Di = πρev 2 b 2
44 REDUCTION OF INDUCED DRAG Winglets offer the best reduction in induced drag Winglets also produce additional thrust
45 WAVE DRAG Wave drag is caused by the formation of shock waves around the aircraft Shock waves radiate away a considerable amount of energy, energy that is experienced by the aircraft as drag Although shock waves are typically associated with supersonic flow, they can form at much lower speeds at areas on the aircraft where, according Bernoulli s principle, local airflow accelerates to supersonic speeds over curved areas The effect is typically seen at speeds of about Mach 0.8, but it is possible to notice the problem at any speed over that of the critical Mach of that aircraft's wing The magnitude of the rise in drag is impressive, typically peaking at about four times the normal subsonic drag
46 RAM DRAG Ram drag is associated with slowing down the free stream air as air is brought inside the aircraft V0 FD r = w0 g w0 Intake air mass flow g Acceleration due to gravity v0 Flight velocity
