The aircraft wing experiences bending, as shown above. Assume the weight and lift are as illustrated above. Assume the wing has a constant cross-sectional area of 10 m2, from wing root to tip. 1a) Describe all the various forces and stresses experienced by the aircraft wing. 1b) Compare how the various stresses, vary on the ground versus in flight. 2) Sketch the stress-strain diagram and indicate the position of the wing on it. Explain. 3) Describe the important material properties of the wing. Explain.

2) Sketch the stress-strain diagram and indicate the position of the wing on it. Explain.
3) Describe the important material properties of the wing. Explain.
4) Draw and describe the Shear Force Diagram, from the wing root to the wing tip, as shown in the diagram.
5) The ultimate shear stress of the wing material is
20 kPa. Describe how the safety factor varies, from the wing root to the wing tip.
6) Draw and describe the Bending Moment Diagram, from the wing root to the wing tip, as shown in the diagram.
