Aircraft Structure II (EAE 4195) – Fall - 21 –Group Project

IN SEMESTER (Group) ASSIGNMENT

Module Code: EAE 4195 Module Name: Aircraft Structure II

Level: 4 Max. Marks: 20

Instructions to Student
• Consider sections A & B.
• Deadline of submission: 16/11/2021
• Each group must have a max. of 4 students
• Report submission through the provided link in the Moodle
• Feedback after final evaluation will be provided Through the Moodle 26/11/2021

Tasks
Task A:
Perform detailed structural design of the portion near the fuselage between
section AA and BB in a two seaters trainer/ semi-aerobatic aircraft shown in Fig.
1. Assume two modes for the analysis, the first mode when the engine is off,
while the second mode when the engine is on.

Fig. 1

The fuselage diameter and dimensions at sections AA and BB are shown in Fig. 2. While the full
details of the fuselage portion between sections AA and BB are shown in Fig. 3.
