Course detail: Aircraft Structural Loads: Criteria, Analysis, and Validation
This course provides an overview of aircraft structural external loads analysis including: criteria, design, analysis, fatigue, certification, validation, and testing. It covers CFR Part 25 airplane load requirements and the historical CFR Part 23 requirements which are the basis of the current ASTM standards. These concepts are applicable to many military structural requirements, UAV's, and other experimental or novel configuration aircraft.
Learning Objectives
- Knowledge of 14 CFR Part 25 and CS25, CFR Part 23 loads requirements and some military requirements
- How the structural loads are developed
- How the loads group interacts with other groups
- The various types of loads conditions-flight maneuvers, gust conditions, landing, ground handling, fatigue
- The flight and ground testing requirements
Who Should Attend?
This course is designed for practicing engineers and engineering managers whose responsibilities include aircraft Structures and Loads, either developing Loads, as a recipient of Loads data, or providing input data for Loads analysis.
