    AIRCRAFT CONSTRUCTION AND MANUFACTURING PROCESS

    Aircraft Structural Componnt!

    A" #oint!

    All joints constructed using rivets, bolts, or special fasteners are lap joints. asteners cannotbe used on joints in !"ic" t"e materials to be joined do not overlap # for e$ample, butt, tee and edgejoints. A fayed edge %igure &'&( is a type of lap joint made !"en t!o metal surfaces are butted upagainst one anot"er in suc" a !ay as to overlap.

    Internal aircraft parts are manufactured in four !ays) *illing, stamping, bending, ande$truding. +"e metal of a milled part is transformed from cast to !roug"t by first s"aping and t"eneit"er c"emically etc"ing or grinding it.

    A stamped part is annealed, place in a forming press, and t"en re'"eat treated. ent parts aremade by s"eet metal mec"anics using t"e bend allowanceand layout procedures.

    An e$trusion is an aircraft part, !"ic" is formed by forcing metal t"roug" a pres"aped die.+"e resulting !roug"t forms are used asspars, stringers, longerons, or channels.

    igure &'- s"o!s a selection of e$truded s"apes used for t"e construction of many aircraftinternal parts. In order for metal to be e$truded, bent, or formed, it must firs be made malleable andductile by annealing. After t"e forming operation, t"e metal is re'"eat treated and age "ardened.

    A full cantilever !ing %igure &'( is usually made of stronger metal. It requires no e$ternalbracing or support. +"e s/in carries part of t"e !ingstress. Parts common to bot" !ing designs arespars, compression ribs, former ribs, stringers, stress plates, gussets, wing tips and wing skins%igure &'0(.

    '" Spar!

    +!o or more spars are used in t"e construction of a !ing. +"ey carry t"e main longitudinal #butt to tip # load of t"e !ing. ot" t"e spar and a compression rib connect t"e !ing to t"e fuselage.

    (" Compr!!ion Ri)!

    Compression ribs carry t"e main load in t"e direction of flig"t, from leading edge to trailingedge. 1n some aircraft, t"e compression rib is a structural piece of tubing separating t!o mainspars. +"e main function of t"e compression rib is to absorb t"e force applied to t"e spar !"en t"eaircraft is in flig"t.

    *" Formr Ri)!

    A former rib, !"ic" is made from lig"t metal, attac"es to t"e stringers and !ing s/ins to give

    t"e !ing its aerodynamic s"ape. ormer ribs can be classified as nose ribs, trailing edge ribs, andmid rib running fore and aft bet!een t"e front and rear spar on t"e !ing. Formers are notconsidered primary structural members.

    +" Strin%r!

    Stringers are made of t"in s"eets of preformed e$truded or "and'formed aluminum alloy.+"en run front to bac/ along t"e fuselage and from !ing butt to !ing tip. 2iveting t"e !ing s/in tobot" stringer and t"e ribs gives t"e !ing additional strengt".

    ," Str!! Plat!

    Stress plates are used on !ings to support t"e !eig"t of t"e fuel tan/. Some stress plates aremade of t"ic/ metal and some are of t"in metal corrugated for strengt". Stress plates are usually
