Synopsis:

The course familiarizes students with the problems of determining the load of the aircraft and its parts. During the course, students will be familiarized with the strength requirements for airworthiness, the types of loads and methods for their determination. Interpretation of load calculation will be performed, including a description and examples of aerodynamic and mass inputs that are needed for it. During the course will be discussed individual loading cases of whole aircraft and airframe individual parts (wing, tailplanes, fuselage and landing gear) and methods of proving their airworthiness.

Requirements:

Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics

Syllabus of lectures:

1) Abbreviations and symbols, regulations, coordinate systems, types of load

2) Aerodynamic and mass assumptions, flight mechanics

3) Flight envelope and design speeds
