Study Notes
Aircraft Structures
- Two types of typical structure assemblies are used in Airbus aircraft design:
- Metallic principle
- Composite principle
- Metallic principle can be divided into two parts:
- Fuselage part structure: skin is attached to frames and stiffened by stringers
- Wingbox part structure: skins stiffened with stiffeners are attached to spars and ribs
- Composite principle can be divided into two parts:
- Sandwich part structure: inner and outer skins are made of layers of fabric or tape and honeycomb core in between
- Monolithic part structure: parts are made of layers of fabric or tape, like carbon, aramid, or glass
Airframe General Concepts
- An aircraft has 5 main structural units:
- Fuselage
- Wings
- Stabilizers
- Flight Control Surfaces
- Landing gears
- Pressure bulkheads are installed to withstand cabin pressure and are located in areas such as the nose and tail of the fuselage, the wheel well, and the wings
Fuselage Components
- Stringers:
- Give shape to the fuselage shell
- Located on the inner side of the aircraft skin panel
- Carry loads due to fuselage bending, shear, torsion, and cabin pressure
- Connected to each other by stringer splices on production breaks
- Make way only for structural openings such as windows and doors
- Clips:
- Found on the inner surface of the skin
- Attached to the frame and stringer
- Transfer pressure load from the skin panel to the frame and assist the frame in carrying compression stress
- Floor beams:
- Lay horizontally and are adjacent to the skin panel
- Attached to the frames and help to carry the pressure loads across the fuselage
- Support cabin pressurization and absorb normal loads of the seat tracks and floor panels
- Floor-to-skin shear ties:
- Extend along the 2 sides of the fuselage and are level with the floor beams
- Carry loads along with the keel beam and the skin/stringer panels of the lower half of the forward and aft fuselage
Fuselage Center Section
- Provides part of the cabin with a structure for joining the center wing box and main landing gears together
- The area underneath the cabin floor of the aircraft is unpressurized
- A pressure boundary is made by the upper skin panel of the center wing box and a pressure diaphragm extends from the wing box above the main landing gears
- The forward and aft pressure boundary is created by the pressure bulkheads which lie in front of the center wing box and at the end of the main landing gear bay
