In aeronautics, the load factor is the ratio of the lift of an aircraft to its weight [1] [2]: § 5.22 and represents a global measure of the stress ("load") to which the structure of the aircraft is subjected: =, where is the load factor, is the lift is the weight.
Aircraft must be loaded in way that ensures maximum allowable weights are not exceeded and the centre of gravity remains withing the prescribed limits. The process is documented by completing a Load and trim sheet.
In this chapter we define load factors, discuss the aerodynamic data required for structural analysis, develop the basic maneuver V-n diagram, and discuss gust load factors used in design. 2.1 Aircraft design process
28 wrz 2022 · This tutorial focuses on the structural design of an aircraft wing and introduces the various control surfaces attached to the wing’s trailing edge. Introduction. A wing is designed to produce sufficient lift to support the aircraft throughout its design envelope.
4 wrz 2023 · The basic understanding of the significance of aircraft loads and their relationship to aeroelasticity will be elaborated comprehensively. The estimation of loads acting on an aircraft structure is an indispensable task ranging from conceptual, preliminary and...
The loaded airplane in Figure 2 is 25 lb too heavy, and the CG is 1.82" too far aft. To make the airplane safe to fly, the load needs to be reduced by 25 lb and some of the load needs to be shifted forward.
Overview. Aircraft structures must withstand the imposed load during operations; the extent depends on what is expected from the intended mission role. The bulkiness of the aircraft depends on its structural integrity to withstand the design load level.
