1. - Define and explain the following terms:
A) LOAD FACTOR
Forces acting on an aircraft during a level coordinated turn, like is shown in the next figure
Figure 1
The load factor is a very important structural design parameter of an aircraft, as it
indicates the amount of the load which the structure of an aircraft can bear. For this
reason, the maximum load factor is a maneuvering and performance limit.
The limit of it, is the highest load factor to be expected over the lifetime of the
aircraft. The load factor is not dependent to aircraft weight and size. Whatever the type of
aircraft is, same load factors apply for same bank angles.
The load factor limitations of aircraft are defined by airworthiness regulations such
as, FAR23 for small aircraft, and FAR25 for large aircraft. Load factor limitations of an
aircraft are shown by a graphics called maneuvering envelope or Vn diagram as it shows
the load factor versus airspeed in terms of EAS, An aircraft cannot fly out of the load
factor boundaries given by the maneuvering envelope.

The FAR25 specifies the limiting load factors of transport category aircraft.
During a steady, coordinated turn the lift required to balance the airplane weight in orderto keep the altitude constant.
L cos = W
Where is the bank angle. Therefore, the ratio of the lift to weight is
+ 1cos (1)Since the lift is greater than the weight in a banked turn because cos < 1, the ratio of liftto weight is the normal load factor

In the follow figures, is shown Firstable the equations (Figure 3), about the load factor I
terms of weight, and the second the wing load cases (Figure 4) that it may have.

B) V-n DIAGRAM (FLIGHT ENVELOPE)
In this figures, it shown the V-n Diagram.
A V-n diagram shows the flight load factors that are used for the structural design
as a function of the air speed. These represent the maximum expected loads that the
aircraft will experience. These load factors are called as limit load factors.
The combined V-n diagram is plotted in three steps: 1. Basic V-n diagram, 2. Gust
V-n diagram, 3.Combined V-n diagram. Like in this diagram.
The limit of "A" corresponds to the horizontal line "AD." Point D occurs at higher flight
speed, which is the speed dive. VC point represents cruise. Cruise In, n = 1, shown as the
dotted horizontal line. The intersection that align with the curve "OA" corresponds to the stall
speed, VS, which is the minimum rate at which aircraft can maintain level flight.

Line HF represents negative loading factor greater for the aircraft, which are
generally less than the maximum load factor positive. The point F corresponds to the
intersection of the load limit and the maximum negative design cruise speed, VC. The
above negative load factor n = 0 point is then closed by the line at the point F in which thediving speed, VD.
C) GUST DIAGRAM
The loads associated with vertical gusts must also be evaluated over the range of
speeds.
The FAR's describe the calculation of these loads in some detail. Because some of the
speeds (VB) are determined by the gust loads, the process may be iterative.
Figure 8

7/22
The gust load may be computed from the expression given in FAR Part 25. This
formula is the result of considering a vertical gust of specified speed and computing the
resulting change in lift. The associated incremental load factor is then multiplied by a load
alleviation factor that accounts primarily for the aircraft dynamics in a gust.
The atmosphere is a dynamic system that encompasses variety of phenomena. In
this point, we concentrate on only gust, since it is not predictable, but is happening during
most high altitude flights. When an aircraft experiences a gust, the immediate effect is an
increase or decrease in the angle of attack. Figure C.2 shows the geometry of an upward
gust. When an upward gust with a velocity of Vg, hits under the nose of an aircraft with the
velocity of V, the instantaneous change (increase) in the angle of attack (), is
determined through.
There are an equation for modeling the "gust induced load factor" as a function of gust
speed:
Where kgis a coefficient that is determined by the following expression:
And gis called the aircraft mass ratio and is calculated through:

There are an intersections between these three lines respectively with maneuver
speed (VA), cruising speed (VC), and dive speed (VD) must be marked. The gust V-n
diagram is plotted for several altitudes to determine the highest load factor. This diagram
is finally combined; in a special technique; with the basic V-n diagram, to obtain the finalapplicable V-n diagram, like in the Figure C3.

2. - Describe 3 situations where the airplane will perform symmetric maneuver
and 3 others situations where each will perform an asymmetric maneuver.
a) Symmetric maneuver.
Is symmetric when a maneuver is performed on the main longitudinal axis (roll,pitch or yaw).

3- Explain applicability of FAR-23 and FAR-25 define the design velocities and
the limit load factors for the different airplane categories contain in FAR-23
and FAR-25 for symmetric maneuvers and gust conditions.
The FAR 23:
Contains the airworthiness standards for aircraft, utility, acrobatic among
others, the airplane must be safely controllable and maneuverable under all
phases of flight such as takeoff, descent climb and level flight. It must be possible
to make a gradual transition from one flight regime to another (including turns and
slips) without danger of exceeding the limit load factor.
The FAR 25:
Except where limited by maximum (static) lift coefficients, the airplane is
assumed to be subjected to symmetrical maneuvers resulting in the limit
maneuvering load factor prescribed this section. Pitching velocities appropriate to
the corresponding pull-up and stead turn maneuvers must be taken into account.
4. - Derive the equations for the load factor experience by an airplane while
performing the following maneuvers:
a. Turn
The load factor is the ratio between the total load supported by the wings and the
gross weight of the aircraft with its contents:
(Load Factor = Load supported / Gross weight of the aircraft).
As the weight is due to the force of gravity, the load factor is usually expressed in terms of
relation to it: in "g". So a load factor of 3 "manage" means that the load on the airframe is
3 times your current weight.
This factor can be positive or negative. Is positive (positive g) when the force is down, and
8/12/2019 Desgin Structural 1
12/22
is negative (negative g) when it is up, in the positive g increases the rider's weight being
"stuck" to the seat, while negative g weight decreases and the pilot "floats" on the seat.
The load factor is important for two reasons: On the structural load imposed on the wings,you might get to break them, and because the rate of loss increases in proportion to the
load factor.
During the flight, the wings of the airplane must bear the full weight of this, to the
extent that it moves at a constant speed and in straight flight, the load imposed on the
wings is constant and a velocity change in this situation does not occur appreciable
change in the load factor.
Therefore any change of aircraft trajectory implies a greater or lesser extent a
centrifugal force that increases the load factor. Any force applied to an aircraft (Like in the
next picture) to take him out of his path produce stress on its structure, the total of which
is the load factor.
8/12/2019 Desgin Structural 1

The load factor in turns. In any aircraft, at any rate, if stays a constant altitude during a
coordinated turn, the load factor for a given pitch is the same, like in the following diagram.
Categories. All airplanes are designed fulfilling some requirements of effort,
depending on the intended use to do the same. The classification according to theserequirements are called categories. To get certified by the competent authorities, the
structural stress (load factor) must conform to the prescribed standards. The categories and
the maximum load factor for each are as follows (according to the FAA):
Normal: 3.8 G.
Utility: 4.4 G
Acrobatic 6 G.
b. Dive Recovery (Dicovering)
The load factor in the recovery is up to approximately 4 Gs and Gs in 3 ascent (Figure
1.8.9). The plane will end in same way, but inevitably to a lower height. This maneuver is
especially difficult orientation and energy inefficient to be the initial point of reference
hidden at the beginning and middle of the maneuver.

c. Circular ascend and descend
ASCEND:
The rise is a basic maneuver during which a suitable combination of
power and attitude makes the plane gain altitude. It means two keys, power
and speed. The power is needed to overcome the drag of the aircraft. The
amount of resistance is dependent on the beat rate of a graphic form whose
expression is shown in Figure 5.5.1.
This figure shows the evolution of resistance with speed through the curve of powerneeded to counter it. In another power available curve shown, which owes its form to the
gradual loss of efficiency of the propulsion system. The intersection of the two curves
indicates the maximum speed, one in which all the power consumed in overcoming
resistance not being available quantity for promotion.
From the above figure we can get:
To maintain a given speed requires sufficient power to overcome resistance.
Fly with a higher or lower strength to lower the speed requires more power.
For any given speed, climb requires more power to maintain level flight.
If more power is applied, the excess of overcoming resistance causes the air to rise.
8/12/2019 Desgin Structural 1
15/22
This graph shows that for a constant power
you can get the same rate of climb at low speed
(v) or with a much higher speed (v ').
In an extreme case of low (z) or high speed
(z '), all the power is consumed in overcoming
resistance precluding the rise of the aircraft.
In summary, the keys to promotion are:
Ascender requires more power than level flight.
Increase power by keeping the angle of attack (speed) makes the plane climb.
With the same power, for all possible speeds the best rate of climb is obtained with specific.
This corresponds to an angle of attack.
The best rate of climb is not obtained with a higher angle of attack (attitude steep climb) but
with the right mix of power and speed.
DESCEND:
Falling should adjust both pitch attitude, as power. Declines assisted engine
performed when precise control of the rate of decline and the distance traveled during the
same is necessary.
The decrease in plan requires greater control of the flight path, then provide power to
the engine not only has the attitude to control the airplane and do not provide many variations
on the rate of descent speed or distance traveled. Basically we define the descent as a basicmaneuver in which the airplane loses altitude flying in a controlled manner in a downward
(forward and down) path, with or without power applied.
8/12/2019 Desgin Structural 1
16/22
Drop the keys are:
Descend requires less power to fly level.
Reduce power maintaining speed (angle of attack) causes the plane descends.
With the same power, all the best speeds possible rate decrease (less sag) is obtained with
a specific, corresponding to a particular angle of attack.
The best rate of descent is obtained (the same as climbing) with a suitable combination of
power and speed.
5. - Describe the differences between the following: True airspeed, Indicated airspeed,
Calibrated airspeed and Equivalent airspeed.
TRUE AIRSPEED INDICATED AIRSPEED CALIBRATED AIRSPEED EQUIVALENT AIRSPEED(TAS) of an aircraft is a
relative measurement. The
actual flight speed of an
airplane relative to an air
mass is termed as true
airspeed, and it is primarily
used for navigational
purposes. In short:
-Flight speed shown on the
instrument (notcorrected for
instrument error, altitude,
density and temperature) is
called indicated airspeed.
-The actual speed of an
aircraft through the air is
termed as true airspeed.
(IAS) of an aircraft is simply
the value that an airspeed
indicator denotes on its scale.
The value is obtained through
a pitot-static system which
includes a pitot tube and two
static vents. Indicated
airspeed is used
aerodynamically, and is
important to aircraft
performance.
This Speeds related to take-
off, stall, lift, turns, etc. are all
in terms of IAS
.
Calibrated airspeed (CAS)
is the speed shown by a
conventional airspeed indicator
after correction for instrument
error and position error.
When flying at sea level
under International Standard
Atmosphere conditions
calibrated airspeed is the same
as equivalent airspeed and true
airspeed.
If there is no wind it is also the
same as ground speed.
Equivalent airspeed (EAS) is
the airspeed at sea level in the
International Standard
Atmosphere at which the
dynamic pressure is the same
as the dynamic pressure at the
true airspeed and altitude at
which the aircraft is flying.In low-speed flight, it is the
speed which would be shown
by an airspeed indicator with
zero error.
It is useful for predicting
aircraft handling, aerodynamic
loads, stalling etc.

7. - Describe the concepts of gust and its effects on the loads experienced by the
airplanes.
Whether due to discrete gusts or continuous turbulence, are ordinarily considered tobe the result of a change in angle of attack due to a component of gust velocity at right angles
to the flight path. Vertical and lateral gusts fall into this category. The change in angle of
attack, in radians, is equal to the gust velocity divided by the forward speed.
If we consider, for example, a vertical gust, the change in lift due to the gust is:

Head- On gust
This case can also be important. Here all that changes is the dynamic pressure. (The angle of
attack is simply the constant pitch attitude of the airplane).

Ratio of Lifts, Headon to vertical Gust
Values of this ratio for typical situations are shown in the next to last column of the following
table:
8. - Derive the equations used to sketch the gust envelope and mention the 3 different
velocities for gust use in this diagram.
The gust can be considered as if the plane goes into a vertical air stream instant:
To adapt the theoretical instantaneous gust to reality, the rules include an attenuation factor of
bursts, kg, where:
