Project 2: (A) ENGE 270 Computer Aided Design Spring 2022 A wing assembly is one of the key aircraft components, which is essentially designed to produce lift and therefore to make flight possible. The wing assembly is typically consisted of the following main parts: Spars, which are cantilever beams that extend lengthwise of the wing providing structural support to the wing. All loads applied to the wing are eventually carried by the spars. Ribs, which are curvilinear cross members, are distributed along the wing perpendicular to the spars. These members mainly provide shape of the airfoil required for producing lift. They also provide some structural support by taking the load from the wing skin panel, and transmitting it to spars. Ribs may be categorized as nose ribs, center ribs, and rear ribs depending on their location along the width of the wing. • Skin panel, which is sheet metal that is assembled on the ribs all along the wing making the airfoil. • Wing tip, which is the most distant from the fuselage, influences the size and drag of the wing tip vortices. • Aileron, which is a moving part close to the wing tip, is used for roll control. • Flaps, which are moving parts close to the fuselage, are used for lift control during landing and take-off. • Other parts such as spoilers, slats, fuel tanks, stringers, etc. Do some research about TAPER Wings: Design your favorite Taper Wing assembly system for an airliner! Your model must contain all main wing assembly components including moving parts. Following criteria are considered for grading purposes: Completeness of model Complexity of model Realistic design Level of details considered in model Part variety Soundness of assembly
