Notice to the students of Subsonic Aerodynamics:

Due to technical problems, I wasn't able to upload the notes as informed last week. But, I will be giving the notes on Wednesday for photocopying so be sure to attend on Wednesday, August 20, 2008.

It will be your responsibility to read and understand the notes provided. Discussion among yourselves is greatly encouraged. Do not hesitate to approach me though for any clarification or further discussion on any part of the hand outs.

For the Semi-Finals, the following activity will be the basis of your grades:


Student teams (two or three students to be grouped on Wednesday, August 20, 2008) are required to estimate the performance characteristics(based on the notes provided) of actual airplanes. Each team selects an airplane, obtains its geometric, mass, and thrust data, and computes performance. Teams must submit a completed performance analysis not later than September 8, 2008.

INTRODUCTION

As already described, different sizes and types of aircraft need different

construction. This applies to the mainplanes, or wings, as much as to any other

part. Each wing is basically made up of two parts – the internal structure, such

as spars and ribs, and the skin, which can be of fabric, metal or composites –

although the distinction between structure and skin may not be readily

apparent in modern fast jets or large transport aircraft.

SPARS, RIBS, STRINGERS AND SKIN

Wings are made up of large number of components, even with integrally

machined structures, but the structural part consists of main types of

component:

Spars

Most of the lift, and hence shear force, that occurs on the wing is collected

together into spars. Spars run spanwise, in other words from the root (where

the wing is attached to the fuselage) to the tip. Most wings contain two spars

– the front and rear spars – but it is quite common for wings to have more than

this. This is particularly so with swept wings on transport aircraft, which often

have a short spar, the auxiliary spar or kick spar, which helps to support the

undercarriage, and provides a location for the inboard flaps.
