Modeling an Airframe Tutorial
EAA SOLIDWORKS University p 1/11 Modeling an Airframe Tutorial Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 1 hour As an Intermediate Tutorial, it is assumed that you have completed the Quick Start Tutorial and know how to sketch in 2D and 3D. If you struggle to recall how to do basic functions, please review the Tips Sheet. The Modeling an Airframe Tutorial guides you through the creation of a tubular airframe in SOLIDWORKS. The objective of the lesson is to teach you how to use the tools to design an aircraft frame. Time limits prevent us from completing this airframe, but you should learn the skills to model an airframe. You will create this part and drawing: This lesson includes: Creating a 3D Sketches Using the Weldment feature to add structural members Trimming structural members Creating a drawing and adding a ‘cut list’ Bill of Materials (BoM) EAA SOLIDWORKS University p 2/11 Modeling an Airframe Tutorial Creating a 3D Sketch for the Airframe In this lesson we will use the weldment feature to create an airframe. Weldments are structural members defined by a cross section picked from a library and a sketch line to define its length. This sketch line can be from multiple 2D sketches, or a single 3D sketch. By using two layout sketches (side and plan elevations), you can control the 3D sketch easily and any future changes will be reflected in your airframe. The layout sketches capture the design intent and the dimensions of the finished frame. 1. Open a New Part, verify Units are inches, and Save As “Airframe” (Top Menu / File / Save As). -

Unit-1 Notes Faculty Name
SCHOOL OF AERONAUTICS (NEEMRANA) UNIT-1 NOTES FACULTY NAME: D.SUKUMAR CLASS: B.Tech AERONAUTICAL SUBJECT CODE: 7AN6.3 SEMESTER: VII SUBJECT NAME: MAINTENANCE OF AIRFRAME AND SYSTEMS DESIGN AIRFRAME CONSTRUCTION: Various types of structures in airframe construction, tubular, braced monocoque, semimoncoque, etc. longerons, stringers, formers, bulkhead, spars and ribs, honeycomb construction. Introduction: An aircraft is a device that is used for, or is intended to be used for, flight in the air. Major categories of aircraft are airplane, rotorcraft, glider, and lighter-than-air vehicles. Each of these may be divided further by major distinguishing features of the aircraft, such as airships and balloons. Both are lighter-than-air aircraft but have differentiating features and are operated differently. The concentration of this handbook is on the airframe of aircraft; specifically, the fuselage, booms, nacelles, cowlings, fairings, airfoil surfaces, and landing gear. Also included are the various accessories and controls that accompany these structures. Note that the rotors of a helicopter are considered part of the airframe since they are actually rotating wings. By contrast, propellers and rotating airfoils of an engine on an airplane are not considered part of the airframe. The most common aircraft is the fixed-wing aircraft. As the name implies, the wings on this type of flying machine are attached to the fuselage and are not intended to move independently in a fashion that results in the creation of lift. One, two, or three sets of wings have all been successfully utilized. Rotary-wing aircraft such as helicopters are also widespread. This handbook discusses features and maintenance aspects common to both fixed wing and rotary-wing categories of aircraft. -
Aerodynamic Optimization of a Biplane Configuration Using Differential Evolution
Computer Aided Optimum Design in Engineering X 209 Aerodynamic optimization of a biplane configuration using differential evolution R. W. Derksen & A. G. Kraj Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Abstract This paper presents our work on designing a biplane configuration that has a minimum drag to lift ratio. This problem is a mixed optimization problem in that both discrete and continuous variables are used. Fourteen parameters were used to fully describe the biplane configuration and calculate performance. Performance calculations were based on Munk’s general biplane theory. Each wing required six parameters; airfoil profile type, span, tip and root chord lengths, angle of attack, and sweep angle. Two parameters were used to define the horizontal stagger and vertical gap between the two planes. The airfoil profile types were stored in an indexed database which allowed us to obtain the section’s aerodynamic characteristics. Our analysis showed that differential evolution found the optimum solution quickly. The characteristics of the resultant optimum solution will be discussed in detail, along with our observations of how the process needs to be adjusted for optimum performance. Keywords: aerodynamic design, optimization, biplanes, aerodynamic configuration. 1 Introduction The following sections will provide a brief review of the state-of-the-art of aerodynamic optimization. This will be followed by a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of the biplane configuration. The introductory comments will conclude with the motivation for doing this work. 1.1 The practice of aerodynamic optimization A quest for performance has been a key component in the development of aviation from the start. -

Congratulations on your acquisition of Maxford USA’s Nieuport 28 ARF! The Nieuport 28 was a French biplane fighter flown during World War I, designed by Gustave Delage and built by Nieuport, also known as Nieuport-Delage – a French airplane company famous for racers before World War I and fighter aircraft during World War I and between the wars. Retaining many of the Nieuport 17’s best features, the Nieuport 28 was a lightly built, highly maneuverable fighter: It had a more powerful engine; carried twin synchronized machine guns; its ailerons were fitted only to the lower wing; and it had two- spar wings – top and bottom – in place of the earlier Nieuport types’ sesquiplane (a biplane with one long wing and one short one above or below it). The Nieuport 28 was the first aircraft to see service in any American fighter squadron. By the time the Nieuport 28 became available in early 1918, it was already considered “surplus” from the French point of view. Their SPAD XIII was a superior aircraft in most respects and had already become firmly established as the standard French fighter. (A 1/5-scale ARF SPAD XIII is also available from Maxford USA at www.maxfordusa.com.) When the Nieuport 28 was offered to the United States, it was immediately accepted by the American Expeditionary Force, and 297 Nieuport 28s were put into service in the 27th, 94th, 95th and 103rd Aero Pursuit Squadrons. -

AIRCRAFT CIRCULAR NO. 119. THE "AVRO TRAINER" AIRPLANE (BRITIsH)* A Training Biplane. Although the "Trainer" has scarcely a single dimension in common with the "504," the "family likeness" is quite striking. The two most marked changes are: the different shape of the rudder and the different landing gear. This airplane is primarily intended for training purposes and the requirements of -training have quite obviously been kept prominently in view throughout the design. Large, comfortable cockpits, good view, effective windshields, wide track are some of the features (Figs. 1, 3, 4) of the "Trainer." Constructional Features One of the innovations introduced in the "Avro Trainer" is that it is of all-metal construction (with exception of the fabric covering and the wooden fairings of the fuselage) in order to conform to thb requirements of the Air Ministry. In the tt Trainer" fuselage the modern form of Avro welded tube construction is employed (Figs. 5,6). Uniform stress is not easy of attainment in any aIrcraft structure, and the welded tube fuselage is no exception.

Great care has been taken to keep the aerodynamic design "clean," and in order to avoid too great interference between fuselage and wing roots, the latter have been brought down to a thin section, while simultaneously. the trailing edge near the body has been raised. (Figs. 1, 2, 3.) Structurally, this arrangement has been achieved, by continuing the top boom of . the wing spar right across the fuselage, while the upper wing sur- face has been gradually reduced in camber as the fuselage is approached. As this surface drops away from the top spar boom, the latter becomes exposed, and is faired over the portion, which extends from the surface of the wing to the side of the fuselage. The wing consists structurally of three portions, or rather of two portions and a variation of one of them. These are: the wing root, the middle portion, and the wing tip . The middle portion and the tip are of dissimilar construction, although they are permanently attached to- gether, while the wing root, permanently attached to the fuselage and, indeed, forming an integral part of it, shows a type of construction quite different from both the middle and the end portions of the wing. -
