Aircraft Loading and Structural Layout

ISBN-13:
DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this latest contribution to the conceptual design of an aircraft Denis Howe presents comprehensive coverage of all aspects of loading action analysis, together with the logical extension to the conceptual design of the airframe. He thereby meets two perceived needs which are not currently addressed by existing aircraft design texts, where loading analysis tends to be dealt with somewhat superficially, treating only the basic symmetric flight envelope, and where structural analysis often assumes that a certain level of design detail has already been established. Graduate and post-graduate level aeronautical students will welcome the approach offered by Aircraft Loading and Structural Layout. Practising engineers in the aircraft industry will find a useful loading action reference, providing a simple method for the derivation of initial structural data for input to advance analysis programs and the interpretation of the output from them.
A Modern Course in Aeroelasticity

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAeroelasticity is the study of flexible structures situated in a flowing fluid. Its modern origins are in the field of aerospace engineering, but it has now expanded to include phenomena arising in other fields such as bioengineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering and nuclear engineering. The present volume is a teaching text for a first, and possibly second, course in aeroelasticity. It will also be useful as a reference source on the fundamentals of the subject for practitioners. In this third edition, several chapters have been revised and three new chapters added. The latter include a brief introduction to `Experimental Aeroelasticity', an overview of a frontier of research `Nonlinear Aeroelasticity', and the first connected, authoritative account of `Aeroelastic Control' in book form. The authors are drawn from a range of fields including aerospace engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, rotorcraft and turbomachinery. Each author is a leading expert in the subject of his chapter and has many years of experience in consulting, research and teaching.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom the early machines to today's sophisticated aircraft, stability and control have always been crucial considerations. In this second edition, Abzug and Larrabee again forge through the history of aviation technologies to present an informal history of the personalities and the events, the art and the science of airplane stability and control. The book includes never-before-available impressions of those active in the field, from pre-Wright brothers airplane and glider builders through to contemporary aircraft designers. Arranged thematically, the book deals with early developments, research centers, the effects of power on stability and control, the discovery of inertial coupling, the challenge of stealth aerodynamics, a look toward the future, and much more. It is profusely illustrated with photographs and figures, and includes brief biographies of noted stability and control figures along with a core bibliography. Professionals, students, and aviation enthusiasts alike will appreciate this readable history of airplane stability and control.
Effect of Aspect Ratio and Sweepback on the Low-speed Lateral Control Characteristics of Untapered Low-aspect-ratio Wings Equipped with Retractable Ailerons

DOWNLOAD EBOOKResults and discussion are presented of a low-speed lateral-control investigation of three untapered unswept wings of aspect ratio 1.13, 2.13, and 4.13 and an untapered 45 degrees sweptback wing of aspect ratio 2.09 equipped with 0.60-semispan retractable ailerons having various projections. Continuous-span ailerons were tested at outboard stations on the unswept wings, and plain (continuous span) and stepped (segmented) ailerons were tested at various spanwise stations with and without simulated actuating arms on the sweptback wing.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA summary and analysis has been made of results obtained in a systematic research program concerned with the effects of wing sweep, aspect ratio, taper ratio, and dihedral on the rolling moment due to sideslip characteristics of wing-fuselage configurations up to Mach numbers of about 0.95. Other test results are presented to show trends of rolling moment due to sideslip with Mach number for a few wings in the transonic and supersonic speed range.
