CONSTRUCTION AIRCRAFT

AIRCRAFT BUILDING MATERIALS

Duralumin, which is an alloy of aluminum and other metals making it tough but lightweight, this is the main ingredient
of the
Fuselage and wings, some planes are made of compounds is carbon fiber with light resins, cheaper and without rivets.

Materials basics:
- Alloys
- Resins
- Rivets
- Fibers
- Others

FACTORS CONSTRUCCION OF AIRCRAFT

WEIGHT: ALWAYS PRESENT AND DECREASES AS THE AIRCRAFT SPENT FUEL, IS THE FORCE OF
GRAVITY ON THE MACHINE AND PULLS TOWARDS THE EARTH, IS COUNTERACTED BY THE LIFT
EXERTED BY THE WINGS.

LIFT: IS THE FORCE EXERTED BY PLANES OR WINGS, THAT IS PROPORTIONAL TO THE AREA
THEREOF, THE AIR DENSITY, TO THE RELATIVE SPEED OF THIS AND AT A LIFT COEFFICIENT
WHICH IN TURN DEPENDS ON THE WING PROFILE (CALLED PROFILE AERODYNAMIC).

DRAG: THE RESISTANCE THAT THE AIR AS THE PLANE MOVES, IT IS MORE EFFICIENT TO MINIMIZE
FUEL CONSUMPTION AND SPEED

THRUST: POWERED BY ENGINES, MAKES THE AIRPLANE OVERCOMES THE DRAG FORCE AND CAN
MOVE.

AIRCRAFT DESIGN
MAKE THE DESIGN AND HOW EVERYTHING SHOULD GO ON THE AIRCRAFT.
EXAMPLE:

ASSEMBLY
ONCE THE DESIGNS ARE APPROVED, BUILDING PARTS ARE SENT TO TEST THEM INDEPENDENTLY SUBJECTING THEM TO
WEAR DECADES FOR ITS DURABILITY AND MAKE IT AS STRONG AS POSSIBLE.

PARTS ARE BROUGHT FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD.

THE WINGS ARE OF A PLACE, OTHER TURBINES, THE TAIL OF THE FUSELAGE, NOSE, CENTER, REAR STABILIZERS,
LANDING GEAR AND AN ASSEMBLY PROCESS THAT LASTS ABOUT ONE MONTH BEGINS

FIRST: THE THREE PARTS OF THE FUSELAGE ARE JOINED, THE WINGS ARE PLACED, IS WIRED, ACCESSORIES, SEATS ARE
PLACED.

FINISH: PAINTED, AND ALL AIRCRAFT MUST BE TESTED BEFORE BEING DELIVERED.

AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS
AIRCRAFT FUEL SYSTEM
THE WEIGHT OF THE FUEL IS A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF AN
AIRCRAFT'S TOTAL WEIGHT, AND THE BALANCE OF THE AIRCRAFT IN
FLIGHT CHANGES AS THE FUEL IS USED. THESE CONDITIONS ADD TO
THE COMPLEXITY OF THE DESIGN OF AN AIRCRAFT FUEL SYSTEM.

LANDING GEAR SYSTEM

THE LANDING GEAR ON AIRCRAFT MAY BE FIXED OR RETRACTABLE. A FIXED GEAR MAY BE WHEELS,
FLOATS, OR SKIS; AND FOR AMPHIBIANS A COMBINATION OF FLOATS AND WHEELS.

RETRACTABLE GEAR ON AIRCRAFT IS USUALLY OPERATED WITH HYDRAULIC OR ELECTRIC POWER, ALTHOUGH SOME MODELS OF LIGHT GENERAL AVIATION AIRCRAFT HAVE MANUAL RETRACT SYSTEMS
OPERATED BY A LEVER IN THE COCKPIT

AIRCRAFT COMPONENTS.
THE COMPONENTS ARE THE MAIN PLANE WE USE TO GIVE DIRECTION
AND STABILITY TO THE AIRCRAFT.

MAIN COMPONENTS OF THE AIRCRAFT

 NOSE LANDING GEAR.

THIS IS THE PRINCIPAL LANDING GEAR.
PROPELLER.
THIS USED TO PROPEL THE AIRCRAFT.
POWER PACKAGE
THIS USED TO DRIVE THE ENERGY IN THE AIRCRAFT
OUTER WING
AERODYNAMIC BODY STRUCTURE FORMED BY A VERY STRONG STRUCTURALLY

 AILEIRON.
SURFACES ARE COMMAND AND CONTROL ARE AT THE ENDS OF THE WINGS OF THE AIRCRAFT.
RUDDER.
THIS IS USED TO CONTROL THE DIRECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT (LEFT AND RIGHT)
ELEVATOR.
THE ELEVATOR IS USED TO CONTROL THE ELEVATION OF THE AIRCRAFT (UP AND DOWN)
HORIZONTAL STABILIZERS.
ENSURE THE STABILITY AND COMFORT OF FLIGHT, FURTHER ENABLING THEIR CONTROL.
