Summary
This subject is focused for acquiring of theoretical knowledge in the sphere of module M 11 – AEROPLANE AERODYNAMICS, STRUCTURES AND SYSTEMS and preparation to accomplishment of the Basic Examination in order to get AML Part 66
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of the bachelor study branch "maintenance technology aviation technology" - to familiarize students with the subject AERODYNAMICS AIRCRAFT STRUCTURES AND SYSTEMS 3 (AASS 3). To teach students the theoretical foundations necessary for practice in the aircraft maintenance environment. Understand and apply the different parts of accounts in accordance with mandated European standards. In addition to acquaint students with the structures occurring in large transport aircraft and their equipment.
Course Contents
1. Large Airplane Fuselage Design - Concepts, prescriptive requirements for static and fatigue strength, fail safe design, safe and durable construction, types of structural stress.
2. Geometric characteristics of a large airplane and its distribution to individual functional zones.
3. Zoning and point marking systems as well as zoning point designations.
4. Airplane life monitoring in critical zones
5. Technology of joining structural elements (riveting, screw joints, gluing, welding).
6. Surface protection (anodizing, chrome plating, cadmium, lacquering, etc.).
7. Surface cleaning, Ensuring the symmetry of the construction during assembly and repair.
8. Theoretical solutions for the production of composite materials and practical demonstration of Wet-lay-up technology and, if necessary, practical demonstrations of some of the vacuum infusion methods.
9. Repetition of mechanical engineering subjects and explanation of basic concepts of aviation structures - Voltage, deformation, bending, pressure, cut, torsion, tension, peripheral tension, fatigue.
10. Clarification of issues related to - Drainage and ventilation, system installation, Protection against damage caused by lightning
11. Construction Methods - Folding Body Fittings, Shaped Ribs, Longitudinal Bars, Elevators, Full Dividers, Frame Dividers, Reinforcement, Struts, Joints, Beams, Floor Structures,
12. Corrosion protection The design of the airframe's large airframe - Design and overpressure seals, Wing, Stabilizer, Pylon.
13. Structures and Parts Chassis Attachment, Seat Installation and Load Handling System, Doors and Emergency Exits - Design, Mechanisms, Service and Safety Equipment of Door, Window and Frontal Protection Mechanisms.
14. Design of large airplane wings, Grounding of fuel in the wing, Landing gear attachment,
15. Position of engines in airplane airframe (rod construction, pylon positioning).
16. Explanation of the concept and importance of stabilization areas for large transport aircraft - Design and use of these areas for the purpose of aircraft system control,
17. Hinge design for mounting the control surfaces The control surfaces of modern large-scale airplanes and their design,
18. Airplane balancing - Mass balance, aerodynamic relief and aerodynamic servo control
19. Specific handling issues for large airplanes with respect to Primary longitudinal tilt control (high-altitude rudder, fixed stabilizer, adjustable stabilizer, duck type airplanes),
20. Primary control of tilt and direction of flight (wings and spoilers, rudder and dampers of the Dutch step) Location of propulsion units on large traffic airplanes using Gondol / pylons their design, the location of the auxiliary power unit on the airplane Design and execution of fire dampers, engine bed (their specifics for each type of propulsion group).
Use of composite materials, in particular new non-flammable sandwich panels used for the manufacture of partitions and interior panels in public transport.
