|
MONOCOQUE? |
a type of construction (as of a fuselage) in which the outer skin carries all or a major part of the stresses. |
Single shell Skin |
|
|
STRESSED SKIN |
provides most of the strength, as well as covering. |
Spars |
|
|
SPARS |
spanwise members, either wood or metal carrying most of the load. |
Wing construction |
|
|
STABILIZER |
Fixed horizontal surface which produces up or down force to keep the aircraft level. |
|
|
|
ELEVATOR |
Mobile horizontal surface controlled by the pilot to change the amount of up or down force. |
Empennage |
|
|
FIN |
Fixed vertical surface which keeps the aircraft straight. |
|
|
|
RUDDER |
Movable vertical surface controlled by the pilot to control the turn. |
|
|
|
STABILATOR |
Combined stabilizer and elevator. |
|
|
|
CORROSION |
Oxidation. Inter-crystalline. Dissimilar metals. Fretting. |
|
|
|
STRESS & STRAIN |
Stress = is the force or load acting on a member. Strain = is the distortion or yield of a body due to stress. |
|
|
|
TYPES OF STRESSES |
Compression - crushing, wings Tension - stretching, bracing wires Torsion - twisting, landing gears Shearing - cutting Bending - aircraft spars or beams (long member bending due to load) |
|
|
|
LOAD AND LOAD FACTORS |
Dead load - the actual weight of the aircraft. Live load - additional load imposed by acceleration, due to turns and pull outs. |
|
|
|
FLAPS |
High lift devices attached to the trailing edge of the wings. Used to increase lift at slower speeds and adds drag. |
Wings |
|
|
PROPULSION SYSTEM |
|
|
|
|
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM |
Hydraulic system are used where large force must be exerted, such as for operating flaps or undercarriage. Used a liquid applying pressure on a surface to do the work. On small aircraft, brakes are usually the only hydraulics. |
