ABSTRACT

Aircraft design project-II is a continuation of aircraft design project-I. In our

aircraft design project-I we have performed a rudimentary analysis. We have
carried out a preliminary weight estimation, power plant section, aerodynamic
parameter selection and analysis. Aircraft design project-II deals with a more in
depth study and analysis of aircraft performance and structural characteristics. We
have carried out preliminary design of the aircraft wing shrenck's curve, structural
load distribution, shear force, bending moment and torque diagrams, detailed
design of an aircraft wing, load distribution over the fuselage, fuselage load
estimation, balancing and maneuvering loads on tail plain, rudder and aileron
loads, wing root attachment, design of landing gear, detailed design report.
