WING STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

As it is well known an aircraft wing structure purpose is to keep the wing skin fixed at the same time that it holds the weight of the engines and the fuel tanks in some cases. The mean idea is to develop an inner lightweight structure capable of holding the bending moment in the most critical cases. These cases are while taking off and landing but also while the aircraft does not fly. At the same time the wing as to be elastic enough to hold the deformation that it suffers while flying. For the H-Craft Project, a complete structural analysis including the engine pylon attachment has been developed for studying the wing behaviour over the different flight stages.
