Hi Folks,
I've just uploaded another few pages of wing calculations based on Jim Marske's Composite Design Manual. The uploads are in my directory (Phil Lardner) in the files section of this group - filenames 'Page 15' to 'Page 19'.
Page 15 is a 1:1 scale drawing of the main wing root-end metal fittings and form the basis of the calculations on the pages that follow on.
Page 16 - 19 detail the dimensions of the CF bars that transfer the cap loads (at +10.5g) to the root end metal fittings, and the dimensions and layout of the metal fittings themselves.
As ever, I would be most grateful if someone could double check my numbers and method to make sure I haven't skipped a step of misunderstood something... or generally screwed up somewhere!
Comment welcome,
Phil.
