WHAT IS FUSELAGE?
WHAT LOADS WILL FUSELAGE TAKE?
Axial Load
Pressure Load
Bending Load
Shear Load
FUSELAGE STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS

Bulkhead

LOADS OVER FUSELAGE
COMPONENTS AND LOAD PATH
Skin Longerons & Stringers Bulkhead & Frames
Pressure Load Axial Load Axial Load
Buckling Load Bending Load(L) Shear Load
Shear Load Torsional Load(S) Pressure Load

FUSELAGE has small air loads, but large concentrated loads from wings, landing
gear, pay loads.

DESIGNING A FUSELAGE

• For What Purpose ?

• What is the requirement ?


GSAR, Passenger, Propulsion, Mach and Altitude
OTHER CONSTRAINTS
• Airworthiness requirements would cover the following aspects of the airplane
1. Flight
This includes performance items like take-off, climb, cruise, descent,
landing and response to rough air. Also included are requirements of stability,
controllability and maneuverability.
2. Structural
Flight loads, ground loads, emergency landing conditions and fatigue
evaluation
DESIGN APPROXIMATIONS
• Weight Estimation:- W(payload)+W(Fuel)+W(Structure)

Fuselage Length and Diameter(l=length ,d=diameter)


l/b=1.05
l/d=8.86
