· SFTY 330 Week 1 Assignment Help | Embry Riddle
After reviewing the module presentation and
materials, complete the following activity.
When completing the exercise problems, where
appropriate, be sure to show all of your work (e.g. calculations) so the
instructor can see where you may have made a mistake. If there are minor
mistakes, you will receive partial credit for the question. Partial credit may
be awarded even if the final answer isn’t correct.
You can either show your solution to the
problems using Word® and an application like MathType or handwrite your
solutions and scan/take a photo of the results with a smartphone or tablet and
submit as a jpeg or PDF. Please review the MathType and Equation Editor Information page located in the Course Specific Information module area.
Save your assignment using a naming convention
that includes your first and last name and the activity number. Do not add
punctuation or special characters. Be sure to include your name in your
document and files. This assignment is due by the end of the module week.
Exercise
Complete the following:
1. Pick an aircraft, e.g. F-22, B737, Diamond
DA42, Piper Mirage, etc. Research and list various specifications of the
aircraft, e.g. size, weight, speed, range. Report all specs in both English and
SI units, e.g. Weight = 20,000 lb = 9071 kg. Discuss anticipated maximum flight
loads and associated mechanical/structural response.
2. Sketch a rough V-g diagram (flight envelope)
for your aircraft. Feel free to guess at parameters that aren’t readily
available. Use your best engineering judgment. Distinguish regions of “flight
envelopes” as they relate to aerodynamic performance, safety and structural
integrity.
3. Describe how control surfaces (e.g. ailerons)
and the resulting aerodynamic forces would be used to bank the aircraft 45
degrees to the right. How many g’s would the pilot pull during this maneuver?
4. Describe what would happen if the applied
force on the vertical tail exceeded the allowable design limit? Is the Factor
of Safety here less than or greater than 1.0? Outline the possible
mechanical/structural response of the vertical tail in this condition.
5. Assuming a vertical tail connecting bolt is
made of hardened steel, what would be the applied stress at the moment the
Factor of Safety is equal to 0.75. Hint: Think of UTS of hardened steel. Report
your answer in both English (PSI) and SI (MPa) units.
6. Research and briefly describe an aircraft
accident/incident resulting from structural failure. What could have been done
to prevent such a failure?
