Rib Flange Bending Methods
Abstract: Weight of aircraft structures plays a vital role in enhancing the business revenues of the manufacturers and end customers. Thus, the aircraft designers and manufacturers attempt to produce structures that are optimized for weight, cost, and at the same time serves the structural integrity, performance and safety requirements as specified by the certification agencies. One way to approach the problem of excess weight is to figure out the innovative analysis …

Transonic Flow Past Conically Cambered Wings
Abstract: The flow is analysed over conically cambered wings for transonic flow conditions. Wing Planform is conically cambered for supersonic flow for minimum induced drag. The circulation to determine the forces is developed using panel methods. Objective function for drag minima is formed using Lagrange multipliers. The transonic flow computations are progressed through computational fluid dynamics. In case of a subsonic leading edge in supersonic flow there is no shock wave …

Effect of Flexibility on Aircraft Wing
Abstract: The shape of the aerofoil determines how the air circulates around it and how much moment and force will be the acting on it. When the body is rigid (fixed) flow around the geometry remains unchanged at particular A.O.A. (angle of attack), but if the body is allowed to be flexible (free) i.e., it can deform its shape, due to which there will be a significant change in the shape …
