The purpose of the work described in this book is to verify with a FEM analysis a preliminary design of the wing structure of a 250 seats PrandtlPlane aircraft, made up in aluminum alloy. The wing structure has been optimized with a multistep process. Moreover, a composite design of the structure is here investigated, with a preliminary sizing of the wing and a FEM analysis of the system together with the buckling analysis of the compressed skins is accomplished. The results in terms of weight and stress distribution are ...

The purpose of the work described in this book is to verify with a FEM analysis a preliminary design of the wing structure of a 250 seats PrandtlPlane aircraft, made up in aluminum alloy. The wing structure has been optimized with a multistep process. Moreover, a composite design of the structure is here investigated, with a preliminary sizing of the wing and a FEM analysis of the system together with the buckling analysis of the compressed skins is accomplished. The results in terms of weight and stress distribution are shown, and a comparison between the metal and the composite solution is performed.
