Course Description
This course includes design and analysis of aircraft structures including: configuration, load paths; design criteria, design concepts and the building block approach to validation and certification; external and internal loads, metallics, composites, material selection; design allowables; analysis of aircraft structures under, tensile, compressive, shear and combined loads, fasteners, joints, fittings and lugs. The design project from course I is continued in this course.
