PROJECT # 1: 3D RIGID BODY EQUILIBRIUM – AIRCRAFT STRUCTURES & COMPONENTS A.
Project Outcome: By the end of the project, the students should be able to: 1)
Identify different types of supports on aircraft structures and its components.
2)
Draw free-body diagram of aircraft structures & components that are in equilibrium.
3)
Analyze the support reactions (force & moment) developed in aircraft structures and components that are in equilibrium.
