AIRCRAFT STRUCTURE I M2 Flashcards
THESE STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS ARE
ASSEMBLED TOGETHER USING:
RIVETS
BOLTS
SCREWS
WELDING
CONSTRUCTION OF FUSELAGE
- TRUSS TYPE
- MONOCOQUE
- SEMI – MONOCOQUE
Also known as truss structure, truss is a common type of
airplane fuselage.
TRUSS TYPE
It’s typically used in small and lightweight airplanes.
TRUSS TYPE
___________ live up to their
namesake by featuring steel trusses.
Truss fuselages
The steel trusses are
______ together to form a frame.
WELDED
___________ fuselages are characterized by the use of an exterior surface as
the primary structure.
Monocoque
_________- fuselages may still have a frame, but their primary structure consists of an exterior surface.
Monocoque
is a type of airplane fuselage that features a cross-section
frame that’s joined together with stringers.
Semi-monocoque
are airfoils that, when moved rapidly through the air, create lift.
WINGS
The _________ of an aircraft is also known as the tail section.
empennage
Most ______ designs consist of a tail cone, fixed aerodynamic surfaces
or stabilizers, and movable aerodynamic surfaces.
empennage
It is used to absorb the landing impact energy so as to minimize the loads
transmitted to the airframe.
