Jordy Keurntjes Lab 2 AVS1230 Lab 2 Aircraft Structures Purpose: Become familiar with and be able to identify typical aircraft materials such as aluminum alloys, steel, and composites. Describe the different types of aircraft structures and their applications. References: Elearning Content Internet Activities: Part 1: Aircraft Structures 1. Identify the components of the Cessna 172R aircraft wing. D Main Spar E Aft Spar A Rib H Skin B Lightening Hole C Rivet G Flap Motor F Autopilot Motor Part 2: Aircraft Materials 1. Identify the materials on your table. A Fiberglass B Carbon Fiber D Aluminum Alloy
Jordy Keurntjes Lab 2 C Sandwich Composite with Metal Core E Sandwich Composite with Paper Core F Honeycomb 2. Where in an airplane would you find a sandwich composite? This would be in the Wing 3. What specific aluminum alloy is used in the construction of modern aircraft? ( This is an Exam question) This would be 2024-T3 4. Name 5 types of common corrosion found in aircraft: Chapter 8 https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation/ amtg_handbook.pdf Surface Corrosion Filform Corrosion Pitting Corrosion Dissimiliar Metal Corrosion Concentratriotion Cell Corrosion 5. Name three ways of preventing corrosion in aluminum alloys. Chapter 8-22 A) Anodize B) Plating C) Enameling 6. Name an advantage of using carbon fiber instead of aluminum alloys in aircraft structures. Carbon fiber offers more stiffness, as well lighter than aluminum, and it is corrosion resistant 7. What Boeing Airline aircraft has its fuselage made of carbon fiber? The Boeing 787 Aircraft is made most of carbon fiber
Jordy Keurntjes Lab 2 Part 3: Cirrus SR20 (Reference Chapter 7 of the POH) 1. The Cirrus SR20 fuselage is made primarily of what material? Carbon Fiber The Cirrus SR20 has a Monocoque type fuselage. 2. The main wing spar in the SR20 is One- piece design that spans wing tip to wing tip. 3. The flight controls (aileron, rudder and elevator) are constructed of what material on the SR20? This material is Aluminum Part 4 General Structure (Ref FAA website structures) 1. Name 3 advantages of a semi monocoque fuselage . 1. leaves a significant percentage of the interior space available for crew, passengers, and cargo 2. Due to its strength and rigidity, the fuselage can sustain damage. 3. makes use of the substructure to which the skin is attached 2.What is the main load carrying part of the wing that runs the length of its span? This is called the Spar 4. What part of the wing runs the length of the chord and helps shape the airfoil? This is called the Rib

Jordy Keurntjes Lab 2 Part 5: Questions (Reference the textbook) Chapter 5-12 https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation/ amtg_handbook.pdf 1. Name the five stresses that act upon aircraft structures. A) Torsion B) Bending C) Tension D) Shear E) Compression 2. What type of aircraft structure carries all of its flight loads in the skin? Monocoque Structure 3. This type of aircraft structure distributes flight loads to the skin and the internal structure. Semi Monocoque Structure 4. An aircraft wing with external bracing is called Semi-Cantilever 5. What structural component provides the strength for a wing? This is the Spar
