Q

Where have area ruling principles been applied on the PC24?

A

The bottom of the fuselage is raised and the wing box is lowered so they ‘slot into each other
Belly - increased to house main wheels and other services
Engine pylon mounts - scalloped to compensate for pylons and engine nacelles

Q

What is the criteria that Pilatus used to calculate/test Mmo?

A

When stabilised at this speed in level flight, throughout the whole envelope (altitude, weight, CG) you can go through a upset of all 3 axes and:

  • Not exceed Vd/Md (max dive speed)
  • Not experience any excessive vibration, flutter or control reversal during the upsets

Q

What is shot peening and what surfaces have been treated this way?

A

Shot peening is a cold work process used to finish metal parts to prevent fatigue and stress corrosion failures and prolong product life for the part. In shot peening, small spherical shot bombards the surface of the part to be finished.
