The complex structure is 21 feet in diameter and 42 feet long. Its landing gear is installed. Sections 47 and 48, wrapped in black, are the two aft composite sections of fuselage for the Dreamliner.

The entire structure is then co-cured in autoclave. The 787 design specifies the fuselage be fabricated in barrel segments. The A350 design specifies the fuselage be fabricated in panel segments. Hein ...

RASANT was part of this and stands for "Fuselage components based on new technologies". Airbus had set its sights on the frames. These form the basic structure of the aircraft. They provide stability ...

Herrmann explains that the current sequential approach to aircraft manufacture — where the fuselage structure must be fairly complete before systems plus cabin and cargo features can be installed — is ...

The flaw can create gaps that could potentially weaken the structure of the fuselage. While analysis shows the fuselage structure is still strong enough even with this defect to carry the maximum ...

To prevent the high pressure forces during welding from damaging the fuselage structure, a device for force absorption and dissipation ran synchronously within the resulting fuselage section. The ...

Because doors provide large amounts of stress, the fuselage structure around doors is required to be much more robust. The same is true for the structure and skin around the pressure bulkhead ...

The aim is to develop a fuselage structure that enables a significant reduction in structural weight through functional integration and novel lightweight construction methods. The weight reduction is ...

Two of Lufthansa Cargo’s four Airbus A321Fs have been grounded, due to a single fine crack found on the rear fuselage structure of the two freighters, the company tells Aviation Daily.

Conceptual art from NASA displaying the main idea of an electric aircraft using its structure to serve as a battery NASA An electrically propelled airliner that uses its fuselage structure as its ...

Boeing got an unexpected jolt in September when engineers in Everett put the new 777X airframe through an extreme test of its structural strength. Just as the test approached its target stress ...
