Stage 2 of design process
Stage 3 of design process
Stage 4 of design process
Stage 5 of design process
Stage 6 of design process
Design stages 1-6
1: Determination of masses using statistical data (unit/%-Masses) (30% inaccuracy)
2: Calculation of masses with approximate formulas (correlation and regression) (10-20%)
3: Computer-aided (FEM)calculations based on construction data, dimensions, loads, materials (5%)
4: Masses calculated based on preliminary data
5: Masses calculated based on manufacturing drawings
6: Weighing of the aircraft and its parts
