Construction Techniques
(Teknik Konstruksi)
Beberapa metode (cara) me-manufaktur struktur
pesawat akan dibahas disini secara singkat.
Skin (kulit) dari struktur pesawat udara
mungkin terbuat dari metal (logam) atau bahan
komposit.

Construction Techniques
(Teknik Konstruksi)
Untuk pesawat terbang metal
Skin biasanya :
Dibentuk terlebih dulu (pre-formed) menjadi
kurva/lengkungan yang diperlukan, sebelum
digabungkan ke frames, stringers, dsb.
Dibuat dari Al alloys (paduan Aluminum) dan kedua
sisinya dilapisi dengan Aluminium (Alclad).
Pada sebagian pesawat terbang, mungkin dilapisi
dengan paduan Magnesium (Mg-alloy).

Beberapa bagian dari struktur mungkin
dibuat dari Ti (titanium) atau Baja tahan karat
(stainless steel).
Logam-logam (metals) ini lebih berat, akan
tetapi menahan panas lebih baik, sehingga
dapat dipasang dekat jet engine exhaust
(knalpot mesin jet).

Construction Techniques Stressed Skin
Attachment
STRESSED-SKIN ATTACHMENT :
Pada pesawat udara metal (metal aircraft) SKIN
dilekatkan ke frames, stringers, dsb. dengan cara:
1) Riveted : Menggunakan rivets, y.i. Biasanya countersunks
atau dimpled rata (flush) dengan skin di- bagian luar
pesawat untuk mengurangi hambatan aerodinamis
(aerdynamic drag).
2) Bonded : Bonding - adalah suatu proses pelekatan
(adhesive) memakai synthetic resin adhesive dan sering
disebut dengan nama dagang-nya Redux Bonding.
Perlekatan (bonding) memerlukan bonding agent
(perekat/lem), heat (panas), dan pressures ( tekanan).

Stressed-skin Attachment (samb) :
Pada Sebagian parts (bagian-bagian) dari struktur
rangka (airframe) kemungkinan juga di lekatkan
dengan menggunakan bonding.
Untuk pesawat terbang komposit Perlekatan
(attachment) dengan menggunakan :
Special fasteners, bonding; atau

BONDED STRUCTURE :
Adhesive Bonding is a Method of Joining :
Metal to Metal.
Metal to Wood.
Metal to themo-setting Plastic.
A bonded metal to metal joint is normally stronger
than a riveted joint because :
The whole of the faying surfaces are joined.
There are no holes drilled to weaken the metal.
There are no stress concentration areas. The
stresses are evenly spaced-out across the joint.

Construction Techniques
(Teknik Konstruksi) - BONDED STRUCTURE
BONDED STRUCTURE : :
The process does not cause corrosion and is not
attacked by fungi or other organisms, nor it is
affected by water, gasoline, oil, or other common
solvents.
Where the process is used on the outside panels of
aircraft :
It provides protection against leaks (rain water
and floats/hulls on those aircraft that land on
water).
On pressurized aircraft : - it provides for a pressure
tight joint. It also produces a smoother aeodynamic
finish.

Bonding is also used in the construction of :

Parts of cars and many other non aircraft
uses.

MACHINED SKIN / INTEGRAL
STRUCTURE :
Metal aircraft is made up of several parts
riveted / bonded together.
For Large aircraft the separate parts run into
their thousands with rivets running into their
tens of thousands.
Q : Each joint is a potential corrosion hazard.

MACHINED SKIN / INTEGRAL STRUCTURE :
MACHINED SKIN / INTEGRAL STRUCTURE :
ANSWER: Each joint is a potential corrosion
hazard, BECAUSE :
Galvanic corrosion when two metals are joined
together there is a possibility of galvanic
corrosion, particularly when the metals are
different or have had different heat treatments.
Another hazard is crevice corrosion.
If the whole of the aircraft skin, . . .

MACHINED SKIN / INTEGRAL STRUCTURE :
If the whole of the aircraft skin, including the
stringers, frames, longerons, brackets, window
cut-outs, etc., were manufactured from one
piece of metal, then this would eliminate these
two corrosion problems.

MACHINED SKIN / INTEGRAL STRUCTURE :
MACHINED SKIN OR INTEGRAL CONSTRUCTION also
eliminates many of the problems associated with riveting
i.e. Weakening the structure by drilling and producing
stress concentration areas.
Integral construction is expensive.
Example: Large slab (1,5m x 0,3m x20m) of Alum. Alloy are
milled into shape by a computer controlled milling head, -
working in a similar way to a sculpture. Milling most of the
metal away to produce skin, say no more than 4 or 6 mm
thick with all the attachments part of the skin.

MACHINED SKIN / INTEGRAL STRUCTURE :
The process gives a structure with a higher
strength /weight ratio than before - with all the
advantageous relating to corrosion, stress
concentration, ...etc. That had been discussed
already.
It also produces a perfect external aerodynamic
skin.
It is expensive, using large milling beds with
computer controlled milling heads and with 90 % of
the original metal being milled away.
[ At a large manufacturer this Alum. waste is returned to the
supplier for recycling or returning back to the melting plant].

Chemical Etching (contd):
At the appropriate time, the metal is removed,
the etched areas neutralized, the protection on
the protected areas removed, and the metal is
ready for its anti-corrosive treatments.
By repeating the process several times with
different areas treated with the protective
coating, complex shapes can be produced.

Honeycomb construction :
This type of construction may be used in the
manufacture of aircraft structures including
flooring and flying control surfaces.
When a panel bends the high stresses are felt on
the outside surfaces, with little or none felt in the
middle the same as in beam bending theory so
why not have all the metal on the outside where it
matters.
Having a skin made up of several layers is called
Sancwich Construction and like most things it is
not new.

It was used in the construction of wooden
aircraft.
The Mosquito (2nd World War fighter
bomber) had a fuselage skin made up of

Lightening Holes :
Are Holes cut in Rib sections, Fuselage Frames,
and other Structural Parts inside the aircraft, by
the manufacturer, to decrease weight.
To keep from weakening the member by
removal of the material, flanges are often
pressed around the holes to strengthen the
area from which the material was removed.

Flanged Lightening Holes :
A flange (a small lip) formed around the edge of
the hole, so that the whole structure is stronger
and more rigid.

Lightening Holes may be cut by one of the
following Methods:
(1) Punching out, if the correct size punch die is available.
(2) Cutting out with a fly cutter mounted on a drill.
(3) Scribbing the circumference of a hole with dividers,
and drilling around the entire circumference with a
small drill, allowing enough clearance to file smooth.
(4) Scribbing the circumference of the hole with dividers,
drilling the hole inside the circumference large
enough to insert aviation snips, cutting out excess
metal, and filing smooth.

When flanging lightening holes,
place the material between the mating
parts of the die and
form it by hammering or squeezing the
parts together in a vise or in an arbor press.
The dies will work more smoothly if they are
coated with light machine oil.

Dehavilland Mosquito
The famous British Mosquito--known to many as "Mossie"--was a
versatile aircraft used extensively during World War II.
Constructed primarily of plywood with a balsa wood core, it had
excellent speed, altitude and range.
First flown on November 25, 1940, the Mosquito entered
production in Mid-1941 and was produced until well after the end
of the war.
Almost 8,000 Mossies were built in Great Britain, Canada and
Australia. Although best known for their service with the Royal Air
Force, Mosquitos were also used by several U.S. Army Air Forces
units for photo and weather reconnaissance, and as night fighters.
It served in Europe, the Middle and Far east and on the Russian
front. In fact the Mosquito reigned supreme among General
Purpose types; and of the grand total of 7,781 Mosquitos built,
6,710 were delivered during the war years.
