In 2004, an all-new, outstanding efficient midsize airplane was launched called the 787 Dreamliner; an aircraft that has been said to have a “revolutionary” design. This paper will illustrate the various categories of this aircraft such as primary and secondary structures, controls, materials, construction and assembly methods. Researching this design concept will show why the 787 Dreamliner is better than its other competition in performance, fuel efficiency and why it is the airplane of the future
737 Fuselage INTRODUCTION In order to study the stresses around a crack developed in a fuselage and its propagation, we have to primarily achieve the CAD design of a fuselage. Particularly, a section of the fuselage frame is needed to achieve the project objective. The Boeing data as provided in the public domain serves as the guideline for the design of the fuselage for this project. To successfully design the fuselage we require the detailed dimensions of the following parts- a) Fuselage Skin
Structures Introduction Aircrafts are usually built from components like wings, fuselages, tail units, engines, flight controls surfaces, stabilizers, main rotor assembly, tail rotor assembly and landing gears with a very few exceptions as per design. Each component has one or more categorical functions and must be designed to ascertain that it can carry out these functions safely. A fixed wing aircraft possesses wings, fuselages, engines, flight controls surfaces, stabilizers and landing gears and a rotary
Belfast they specialise major aircraft structures including fuselages, wings, engine nacelle systems and flight control surfaces. The Belfast operation is vital in Bombardier as it produces 10% of all Northern Irelands manufacturing exports. Bombardier Belfast do many things within the chain of manufacturing a plane and for all different models.

enclosed body (fuselage) houses the crew, passengers, and cargo, as well as the controls and instruments used by the navigator. An airplane also requires a support system (such as wheels or pontoons) when it is at rest on a surface and during takeoff and landing. Most airplanes in use today are monoplanes (i.e., aircraft with a single pair of wings). They are termed high-wing when the wing is attached at the top of the fuselage, midwing when it extends from or near the centre of fuselage section, and
Material Selection Task Name Institution Affiliations Material Selection Task 1. Fuselage Material Analysis for the Boeing 737-800 The Boeing is a narrow-body, twinjet airliner with family models that can accommodate a passenger capacity of 45-215 people. Currently, only the next generation variants (737-700, 737-800, and 737-900ER) are being assembled. This analysis delves into the fuselage material for Boeing 737 -800 (capacity ≈ 184 passengers). The first unit of Boeing 737-800 was
The Avro Anson V has a molded plywood fuselage which was a key factor to its success in the Canadian climate. The fuselage of the plane was made of sheets of spruce and casein glue making it very lightweight compared to the metal alternatives. The fuselage was very aerodynamic and draft free which increased the vehicles performance. In order to manufacture a molded plywood fuselage three layers of spruce plywood strips are stacked and soaked with casein glue inside a concave mold. After the layers
mechanical device. That task itself posed many problems which De Havilland engineers made great progress at solving, such as developing a system to keep the aircraft cabin at a stable pressure, integrating hydraulic controls, and constructing the fuselage so that it did not weigh too much but remained strong. Why exactly the design errors were not caught was primarily due to oversight. In several cases, notably the windows and the aluminum alloy, De Havilland engineers based their decisions on misleading
An airplane can be broken down into four easy simple categories, the fuselage, the wings, the empennage (tail section), and the engine. The fuselage, the portion which all other pieces of the aircraft usually attach to, contains the most important material, the passengers and pilots. It is the equivalent of the car’s body/chassis, and it is easily recognizable because that is where the windows are. In the front of the fuselage is the cockpit where the amazing pilots do their aviating and fly the
template before solid testing could be performed. When changes that were made to the test glider proved to be favorable, the template was modified to show these changes. The first constructing step was to have a design. I drew the design for the fuselage, horizontal stabilizer, and vertical stabilizer on a piece of construction paper. The wing design I traced from a toy my son has. After all parts were traced on paper, I cut them out and labeled them. Next, the paper templates were laid on top
Heavy weights—the heavy aircraft, lead to greater lift from the wing and larger angle of attack. Supersonic Design Supersonic aircraft have a lot different structure, configuration and design. These differences are in term of the length of the fuselage, fuselage shape and wing shape; however, regardless of the differences it manages to break the sound barrier

parts compared to the first aircraft developed by the Wright brothers. A modern day airplane contains a cockpit, a turbine engine, wings, winglets, horizontal stabilizer, vertical stabilizer, rudder, elevator, flaps, aileron, spoiler, slats, and fuselage (body of the airplane). A cockpit, which is located in the front, is the control center of an airplane. The pilots operate the airplane with the assistance of numerous equipments in the cockpit. In the cockpit, the pilots can know lots of information
“I think both the space shuttle program and the International Space Station program have not really lived up to their expectations.” These words by Buzz Aldrin are in my opinion why we should never give up on what we are trying to achieve. That is because once you put your mind on achieving one goal, you must achieve it and make this goal exceed you expectations. What is a space shuttle? The Space Shuttle is a reusable launch and reentry American spacecraft operated by the National Aeronautics and
Boeing has a very complex supply chain consisting of several international and domestic suppliers with a wide range of financial arrangements from direct ownership to contract arrangements. Due to the specialized nature of the final product, every part has to meet a specified standard of quality. Although it is possible that some supplies may be purchased on the open market, I was unable to find any that are. A fully assembled 737 has 367,000 parts, an equal number of bolts, rivets and other fasteners
Singapore to Sydney. One of the main purposes was to try and gain some of the large-aircraft market that was so heavily dominated by Boeing, especially with the 747. However unlike the Boeing 747, the top deck of the A380 extends the full length of the fuselage meaning there is an extra 40% more floor space [5]. This means the A380 is certified to carry up to 853 passengers in a one-class configuration, although no airliners have chosen this configuration to date. The passenger capacity varies on the aircraft
The Structure of an Airplane The idea of flight has fascinated people for centuries, even to this day, which is why I decided to research on airplanes. When I researched the history on planes, I was surprised at the effort and the time people long ago spent trying to make a machine that flies. I also wondered, like many, how an airplane is able to fly and sustain in the air. Wanting to know the answers to these types of questions I had, gave me the determination to really researched this topic

The development of the Space shuttle has allowed many opportunities to explore the universe. There is so much about the other planets and space that we do not know about. Space shuttles allow people to travel into space and allow things to be sent into space. There has been six space shuttles: Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavor. Currently they are all on display at various museums and centers throughout the United States with the exception of the two, Challenger and
1. AIRCRAFT MISHAP TIMELINE On 28 April 1988, Aloha Airlines Flight 243, a Boeing 747 based out of Honolulu International Airport, Hawaii, began operations on what was scheduled for six inter-island flights. The First Officer checked in with Aloha Airlines Flight Operations about 5:00am followed by the Captain shortly after. The aircraft log was signed off and released for flight with no open write-ups. They both completed pre-departure duties and proceeded to the aircraft. All pre-flight preparations
