    摘要: An aircraft portion includes a fuselage oriented in a longitudinal direction, an airfoil made up of at least one pair of wings arranged on either side of the fuselage in a transverse direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction, and an airfoil-fuselage junction fairing at the interface between the airfoil and the fuselage. The junction fairing has, in a vertical plane, a lower profile and, in a horizontal plane, a horizontal profile at the junction of the outer surface of the junction fairing with the convex side of each wing. The horizontal profile and/or the lower profile successively has, in the longitudinal direction, a convex front segment, a concave intermediate segment, and a convex rear segment.

    摘要: A shear connection for interchangeably connecting two airframe parts of an aircraft. The shear connection may include first and second interface parts. The second interface part may overlap in the longitudinal direction at an overlap section with at least one of the first interface part and the first airframe part. The shear connection may further comprise means that rigidly and non-interchangeably attach the first interface part to the first airframe part and the second interface part to the second airframe part and a shear bolt that rigidly and interchangeably connects the second interface part with the at least one of the first interface part and the first airframe part at the overlap section, thereby interchangeably connecting the first and second airframe parts.

    摘要: The adjustable fuselage location method is based on the combined use of slots under fuselage longerons, saddles between fuselage and wing, straps, brackets, thread poles and nuts. Saddles installed under the fuselage provide an interface between the fuselage and wing. Straps wrap around the brackets inside fuselage longerons, saddles and wing box for fastening the wing to the fuselage. Thread poles are affixed on the brackets for guiding the traveling of fuselage in longitudinal direction. By turning the nuts on the poles, fuselage can be relocated on the wing. These adjusting mechanisms can be hided inside the longerons of fuselage and manipulated from inside of the fuselage.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for integrating structural components of a wing box. One embodiment is a system that includes outboard planked stringers within an outboard section of a wing box and are co-cured with composite skin at the outboard section. Each outboard planked stringer of the outboard section includes planar layers of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) that are parallel with the composite skin at the outboard section, have fiber orientations aligned to bear tension and compression applied to the wing box, and each extend a different distance along the composite skin at the outboard section. The system also includes center planked stringers within the center section and are co-cured with composite skin at the center section. Each center planked stringer of the center section includes planar layers of CFRP that are parallel with the composite skin at the center section, have fiber orientations aligned to bear tension and compression applied to the wing box, and each extend a different distance along the skin at the center section.

    摘要: Methods of joining a first aerostructure part with a second aerostructure part are disclosed, for example, methods of joining an airplane wing or control surface to an airplane fuselage or joining fins to a rocket body. The method comprises aligning a plurality of connection elements in a linear array within the second aerostructure part, wherein the connection elements comprise a plurality of flexible connection elements and at least one rigid connection element, and attaching the first aerostructure part to the second aerostructure part at a plurality of connection points with the plurality of connection elements. The second aerostructure part expands linearly at a greater rate when exposed to heat than the first aerostructure part resulting in a difference in linear distance between the first aerostructure part and the second aerostructure part and the flexible connection elements are configured to flex to accommodate for this linear distance difference.
