  • A Study of Vehicle Structural Layouts in Post-WWII Aircraft
    A Study of Vehicle Structural Layouts in Post-WWII Aircraft Mark D. Sensmeier* Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Prescott, Arizona, 86301 Jamshid A. Samareh† NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia, 23681 In this paper, results of a study of structural layouts of post-WWII aircraft are presented. This study was undertaken to provide the background information necessary to determine typical layouts, design practices, and industry trends in aircraft structural design. Design decisions are often predicated not on performance-related criteria, but rather on such factors as manufacturability, maintenance access, and of course cost. For this reason, a thorough understanding of current “best practices” in the industry is required as an input for the design optimization process. To determine these best practices and industry trends, a large number of aircraft structural “cutaway” illustrations were analyzed for five different aircraft categories (commercial transport jets, business jets, combat jet aircraft, single- engine propeller aircraft, and twin-engine propeller aircraft). Several aspects of wing design and fuselage design characteristics are presented here for the commercial transport and combat aircraft categories. A great deal of commonality was observed for transport structure designs over a range of eras and manufacturers. A much higher degree of variability in structural designs was observed for the combat aircraft, though some discernable trends were observed as well. Nomenclature Frames = Circumferential fuselage structures which help maintain fuselage shape and prevent skin buckling Longerons = Lengthwise fuselage structures which carry bending loads Ribs = Chordwise wing structures which maintain wing shape, carry shear, and prevent skin buckling Spars = Spanwise wing structures which provide primary wing resistance to aerodynamic bending loads I.

The current version is prepared for CBS News. As with the original, the goal here is to provide useful information on U.S. and Russian space flights so reporters and producers will not be forced to rely on government or industry public affairs officers at times when it might be difficult to get timely responses. All of these data are available elsewhere, of course, but not necessarily in one place. The STS-124 version of the CBS News Space Reporter's Handbook was compiled from NASA news releases, JSC flight plans, the Shuttle Flight Data and In-Flight Anomaly List, NASA Public Affairs and the Flight Dynamics office (abort boundaries) at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.

Tharp, Jr. MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER In this putative class action, five plaintiffs are vying for appointment as Lead Plaintiff and to approve their selection of counsel to represent the class. For the reasons set forth below, the Court appoints the Public Employees Retirement System of Mississippi as Lead Plaintiff and approves its selection of the law firm of Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossman LLP as Lead Counsel. I. BACKGROUND This matter involves securities fraud claims predicated on statements issued by The Boeing Company regarding the safety of its 737 MAX aircraft. In a nutshell, the complaints filed to date allege that during the first part of 2019, Boeing misled investors about the financial prospects for its commercial airplanes business by misstating and concealing information about safety problems with the 737 MAX in the wake of investigations of the crashes of Lion Air Flight 610 in October 2018 and of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 in March 2019. Two class action complaints have been filed. The initial complaint (Case No. 19 CV 2394; the “Seeks” action) was filed on April 9, 2019, by plaintiff Richard Seeks on behalf of a class comprising purchasers of Boeing securities between January 8, 2019 and March 21, 2019. A subsequent complaint was filed by plaintiff Mercer Busch (Case No. 19 CV 3548; the “Busch” action) on May 28, 2019 on behalf of a class of persons who acquired Boeing securities between Case: 1:19-cv-02394 Document #: 109 Filed: 11/15/19 Page 2 of 24 PageID #:2414 January 8, 2019 and May 8, 2019.

  • Instructions to Prepare a Paper
    26th SFTE (EC) Symposium 6-8 October 2015 – Sevilla, Spain THE «FLIGHT TESTING» GRADUATE COURSE AT POLITECNICO DI MILANO Lorenzo Trainelli, Alberto Rolando Department of Aerospace Science and Technology, Politecnico di Milano Via G. La Masa, 20156 Milano, Italy e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: This paper describes the current status of the “Flight Testing” graduate course held at the Politecnico di Milano as an elective subject in its Aeronautical Engi- neering MSc curriculum. The course, delivered each year, has reached its 10th anniver- sary in 2015. Nearly 120 students passed the course to date, most of them upon submis- sion and presentation of a flight test report concerning a real flight test mission carried out by the student in person. In fact, the unique characteristic of this course is the provi- sion of a complete experience in which each student is requested to design, perform and report on a real flight test of a manned aircraft, acting as a Flight Test Engineer under all respects. The conditions of the flight test experience and two flight test campaigns are described, reporting on the latest updates in the FTI system, which now features a fully functional telemetry capability. 1 LIST OF SIMBOLS A/C Aircraft AOA Angle of attack AOS Angle of sideslip CAN Controller Area Network CDIO Conceiving – Designing – Implementing – Operating COTS Commercial off-the-shelf CTO Chief technical officer CVE Compliance verification engineer DSTA-PoliMI Department of Aerospace Science and Technology, Politecnico di Milano GPS Global Positioning System GS Ground station HDO Head of design organization FT Flight testing FTE Flight test engineer FTI Flight test instrumentation FTR Flight Test Report MEMS Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems MTOW Maximum take-off weight TPD Test Planning Document UDP User Datagram Protocol ULM Ultralight machine 1 Copyright October, 2015 by L.
