LECTURE CONTENTS
WOOD
During World War 1 (WW1) and the early 1930s, wood was the chosen material for
aircraft construction. Since making a wooden aircraft deals with a great mastery of
woodworking, a small number of aircrafts today are now made from wood apart from
home-built aircrafts and aircrafts for restoration.
• Types of Wood
o Solid Wood (see Figure 1)
▪ It is made from one solid log cut by quarter sawing for the
reduced chance of warpage. Most commonly use in aircraft wing
spars.
Figure 1. Solid Wood
o Laminated Wood (see Figure 2)

▪ It is made by gluing together two (2) to three (3) pieces of wood
with the same grain direction. Most used also in aircraft wing
spars and interchangeable with solid wood if it has the same
quality.
Figure 2. Laminated Wood
6|Page
o Plywood (see Figure 3&4)

▪ It is made from three (3) or more thin sheets of wood board
glued and pressed together so that its grain would be at an
angle to the successive layer.
Figure 3. Plywood
Figure 4. Plywood
7|Page
• Species of Wood
Figure 5. Hardwood vs. Softwood
Wood can be classified into two species: Hard Wood and Soft Wood.
o Spruce
▪ Most used in aircraft construction
▪ Free from defects
▪ Hight Strength-to-Weight ration
▪ Hight Quality Wood
Figure 6. Spruce Wood
8|Page
o Douglas Fir
▪ Strength is far better than of spruce
▪ Heavier
▪ Difficult to work than spruce with the tendency of splitting
Figure 7. Douglas Fir Wood
o Noble Fir
▪ Lighter than Spruce
▪ Equal or superior to Spruce in all properties
▪ Lower hardness and shock resistance to Spruce
Figure 8. Noble Fir Wood
o Northern White Pine

▪ Excellent working and gluing characteristics
▪ Strength is inferior to Spruce
Figure 9. Northern White Pine
9|Page
o Balsa
▪ Exceptionally light weight
▪ Lacks structural strength
▪ Used as a core material for panels for sandwich-type requiring
light weight and rigidity
Figure 10. Balsa Wood
o Mahogany (see Figure 1)

▪ Heavier than Spruce
▪ Stronger than Spruce
▪ Most used in face sheet production of plywood in aircraft skins
o Birch
▪ Heavy hardwood
▪ Good shock-resistance properties
▪ Recommended for face plies of plywood used in reinforcement
plates on wing spars and in propeller made from wood.
Figure 11. Birch Wood

• Quality of Wood
Figure 12. Wood Anatomy
o Grain Deviation
▪ Whatever species of wood used for aircraft construction; its
grain orientation should always be straight. A limit of variation
1:15 is permitted, indicating that the grain must not have an
angle of more than an inch per 15 inches.
o Knots
▪ Knots are the part where the tree branch sprouted from the
trunk. There are different types of shapes of knots depending on
the cut from the wood e.g. round, oval, or spiked.
▪ Hard knots are allowed up to 3/8 inch of its dimension but with
some restrictions.
▪ Small pin-knots will only be allowed if it does not cause any
grain imperfections to the wood.
o Pitch Pockets
▪ It is a type of wood imperfection caused by small holes in the
annual rings of a tree. Woods with pitch pockets are only
allowed to be used if they are 14 inches apart and with a volume
of 11/2-inches x 1/8-inch x 1/8-inch deep.
o Compression Wood
▪ NEVER a good wood for aircraft construction and repair.
▪ Wood taken from a tilted tree as it grows that lead to its wood
having a denser and weaker wood structure than a normal
grown tree.
o Compression Failure
▪ Should not be mistaken for compression wood
▪ Usually can be identified by its irregular and thread-like line on
the grains
▪ Also, NEVER a good wood for aircraft construction and repair.
o Checks, Shakes, and Splits
▪ A check is a crack running through or across the annual grain
11 | P a g e
▪ A shake is a crack or separation in which it can be seen from a

detached two annual rings along its boundaries
o Stains and Decay
▪ Stains are caused by a decay on the wood usually appearing as
streaks in the grains.
▪ An evidence of a decay is the stain that uniformly discolored the
annual rings.
▪ Decay on woods varies in color from red to white stains.
▪ Decay on woods no matter what its stage will lessen the
toughness of the wood until it gets brittle with little to no strength
at all.
▪ Decay on wood is caused by fungi growing in damp woods that
eats its fiber.
▪ Decay can be minimized by properly drying the wood up to 20%
and the application of wood varnishes for the wood to be
protected from the elements.

PLASTICS
Plastics is an important component in aircraft construction. Its application to aircraft
construction ranges from a thermoset plastic reinforced fiberglass to thermoplastic
material for windows.
Figure 13. Types of Plastic

Transparent Plastic
Plastics or resins can be classified to 2 different classification according to their
reaction to heat:
• Thermoplastics
o Thermoplastics when applied with can be mold to its desired shape
and by cooling it down will help it maintain its shape.
o Thermoplastics can also be reheated and reshaped multiple times
without changing its chemical composition.
o There are two types of thermoplastics used in aircraft windshield and
side windows:
▪ Cellulose acetate
• Transparent
• Light weight
• Tendency to shrink
• Tendency to turn its Figure 14.

Plexiglass, or Perspex
• Stiffer that cellulose
• Clear transparent appearance Figure 15.
Acrylic Sheet
13 | P a g e
• Thermoset
o Thermosetting plastic when applied with heat can also be molded and
shaped but when cooled down, it cannot be reheated to be reshaped
as it is fully cured (by heat or catalyst).
o Can also be used as an adhesive and bonding agent
o Can be combined and poured into different kind of materials
▪ Polyester Resin

FABRICS
Aircraft covered in fabrics have been the early stage in aviation history. One example
of a famous fabric-covered aircraft is the Wright Flyer, due to its lightweight
characteristics have been used for decades in aircraft design and building.
In the early times, finely woven organic fabrics like cotton and linen have been the
initial choice for covering airframes. Nowadays, the standard and mostly used for
aircraft covering is Polyester fabric while cotton and linen have been ceased in
production due to its low resistance to environmental effects.
Figure 24. Fabric Terms
Figure 23. Types of fabric weaving
Fabric Terminologies
• Warp—the direction along the length of fabric
• Fill or weave—the direction across the width of the fabric.
• Count—the number of threads per inch in warp or
• filling.
• Ply—the number of yarns making up a thread.
• Bias—a cut, fold, or seam made diagonally to the warp or fill threads.
• Pinked edge—an edge which has been cut by machine or special pinking
shears in a continuous series of Vs to prevent raveling.
• Selvage edge—the edge of cloth, tape, or webbing woven to prevent
raveling.
• Greige—condition of polyester fabric upon completion of the production
process before being heat shrunk.
17 | P a g e
• Cross coat—brushing or spraying where the second coat is applied 90° to

the direction the first coat was applied. The two coats together make a single
cross coat.
Fabric Covering Processes

• Blanket Method
o In this method, fabrics are attached to the airframe by trimming multiple
flat sections and using adhesives to stick to the airframe.
• Envelope Method
o This method uses precut and pre-sewn envelope fabrics made-to-fit the
airframe where it is needed to be placed. Through the help of patterns,
fabrics can be cut and sewn to the exact size where it needed to be slid
into position and will be fastened to the airframe by adhesives.
Reinforcing Materials
Fibers used for reinforcing thermoset resin to produce high strength materials.
4 Types of fibers
1. Glass Fiber – can be in the form of woven cloth (higher cost) or loosen
mat(cheaper). Provide the resin material matrix with enhanced strength and
durability.
Figure 25. Fiberglass

2. Ceramic Fiber – a type of glass fiber designed to be used in high-temperature
components. It is however more expensive and heavier in weight of glass
fiber.
Figure 26. Ceramic Fiber
18 | P a g e
3. Kevlar Fiber – frequently used type of fiber where high impact resistance is
needed. Identifiable by its soft yellow color in the form of woven cloth.
Figure 27. Kevlar fiber

4. Graphite Fibers – obtained from Rayon fibers where the cellulose is heated
and stretched to change the molecular structure of the fiber into an extremely
lightweight, strong, and tough material.

RUBBER
Rubber is used to stop the entry of foreign materials like dirt, water, or air, and to
stop a seepage of fluids, gasses, or air. Rubber is also a vibration absorbent, noise
deadening, and impact load safeguard.
2 Types of Rubber
1. Natural Rubber – has better ease of processing and properties including
tensile strength, tear strength, elasticity, flexibility, and accumulate heat
buildup than of synthetic rubber. However, the problem of the general-
purpose rubber is that the decline in its physical properties when subjected to
fluids especially solvents in an aircraft causes faster deterioration than of
synthetic rubber.
2. Synthetic Rubber – is available in different composition that gives it different
properties depending on where it will be used.
a. Butyl
