An aircraft component has an ultimate load of 5.28 kN and a limit load of 1.32 kN. What is its safety factor? Based on this safety factor, do you think it was designed using a fail-safe philosophy or a safe-life philosophy?

A young engineer has come up with a 'brilliant idea': an aircraft with a square fuselage for more space. Since all aircraft have a circular fuselage cross section you suspect there must be a downside to this plan and you suspect it has to do with stress i...

Early aircraft used wing warping to bank, modern aircraft use ailerons. Why don't modern aircraft use wing warping?

Modern aircraft usually have two sets of ailerons: one 'inboard aileron' (close to the fuselage) and one 'outboard aileron' (further up the wing). Why is this?

Early wing structures were rather flexible and relatively easy to warp. Modern aluminium wings with wing boxes incorporated are very rigid (as they have to deal with high loads) and therefore ailerons are used for banking.

The two sets of ailerons are used for different flight speeds. The two sets of ailerons are used for different flight speeds, here is why: As you know, the moment caused by a force is given by M=Fr , where F is the force and r is the moment arm. At low sp...
