Design of an airplane is complex as it has six degrees of freedom once it is set to fly; hencedealing with forces during flight becomes crucial. The structure of the plane should alsowithstand great ‘g’ force during the flight of the aircraft. The wing generates lift as the planemoves in the air, which counteracts the weight of the plane. The empennage structure willprovide stability to the aircraft. Hence, the attachments for wing and empennage connected tofuselage should be strong enough. Fin, which is a fixed surface used to transfer the loads, isattached to the fuselage structure through fin-fuselage attachment. The bending moment andshear loads from the fin are transferred to the fuselage through the attachments joints. Shearattachment design is carried out based on various types of failure incurred in the lug analysisand followed by analysis of the shear attachment. Finally, the results are compared with theclassical calculations and analysis of the shear attachment.Keywords: Airplane, aircraft wing, shear attachment design, calculations and analysis, finfuselageattachmentCite this Article Abhilash KS, Rakesh R, Vinayaka MS et al.
