Department of Aerospace Engineering
Synopsis:

The course familiarizes students with the issue of determining the load of the aircraft and its parts. During the course, students will be familiarized with the strength requirements for airworthiness, types of loads and methods for their determination. Interpretation of loading 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, tail-planes, fuselage and landing gear) and methods of proving their airworthiness.

Requirements:
Syllabus of lectures:

1)Introduction to the subject, place of loading in the development of the aircraft, specifics of the subject

2)Mass and geometric data needed for loading calculations

3)Aerodynamic data and flight mechanics

4)Load factors, design speeds, n-v diagram

5)Symmetrical maneuvers

6)Asymmetric maneuvers

7)Flight in turbulence

8)Wing loading

9)Tail-planes loading

10)Loading of control surfaces and control systems

11)Ground loading

12)Loading of the fuselage and its selected parts, emergency loading

13)Strength testing and construction prove
