In which area of the aircraft is the shifted layout often used?
Wing tank
What is the reason for using the shifted layout in the wing tank area?
To ensure fuel leak tightness
What type of joint is used in fuselage manufacturing?
Lap-joint
What is a characteristic of the parallel layout?
Linear distribution of forces
Study Notes
Preferable the parallel layout is used due to its linear distribution of forces. This type of layout is used in fuselage manufacturing (lap-/butt-joint). Shifted Layout In the wing tank area the shifted layout is often used. This is done because of the higher surface pressure (fuel leak tightness
