Question 1

Aircraft wings are design based on factors like size, weight, and desired flight characteristics.

Answer 1

Wing Construction

Question 2

They’re typically made of _____
but are increasingly using lighter
materials like ___.

Answer 2

Aluminum and Carbon Fiber

Question 3

Wings have spars, ribs, and skin
that distribute and withstand flight
loads. Spars bear most of the weight
while ribs transfer loads to the spars.

Question 4

Each design varies in the number of
longitudinal members and
construction methods.

Answer 4

Monospar
* Multispar
* Boxbeam

Question 5

___ have a single
main longitudinal member providing
structural support.

Answer 5

Monospar wings

Question 6

Ribs or bulkheads shape the airfoil.
They are relatively simple in design
and are used in smaller aircraft.

Answer 6

Monospar wings

Question 7

_____incorporate
multiple longitudinal members for
added strength and stability.

Answer 7

Multispar Wings

Question 8

They are commonly found in larger
aircraft, providing enhanced
load-bearing capability.

Answer 8

Multispar Wings

Question 9

Feature two main longitudinal members connected by bulkheads, forming a box like structure.

Answer 9

Boxbeam wings

Question 10

This design offers significant strength and rigidity, making it suitable for heavy duty applications such as air transport category aircraft.

Answer 10

Boxbeam

Question 11

______ distributes loads effectively throughout the wing structure.

Answer 11

The Boxbeam design

Question 12

____ are the primary wing structural members, carrying most of the wings loads.

Answer 12

Wing Spar

Question 13

They can be made of aluminum composite materials, typically with a rectangular shape.

Answer 13

Wing Spar

Question 14

____ Spars come in a various designs, including I-beam, plate or truss webs, built-up structures with stiffiners, and fail-safe constructions. They provide strangth and rigidity to the wing.

Answer 14

Wing Spar

Question 15

____ are crucial for wing integrity, with most win stress passing through them.

Answer 15

Spars or wing spar

Question 16

____ Similar function but not spanning the entire wing, are commonly used for control surface hinge attachment.

Answer 16

False spar

Question 17

___ along with spars and stringers, from the wings framework providing structural integrity and shaping it cambered profile,

Answer 17

Wing Ribs

Question 18

___ include plain, nose, false, and butt strips, each serving specific functions as shaping the leading edge or attaching to the fuselage.

Answer 18

Ribs

Question 19

____ plays a crucial role in distributing loads and maintaining the wings shape, essential for the overall structural stability during flight.

Answer 19

Ribs

Question 20

Located at the inboard end of the wing spars, wing attach fittings securely join the wing to the fuselage , often covered with fairings for aerodynamic smooth ness.

Answer 20

Wing Roots and Tips

Question 22

Design to be easily replaceable, wing tips bolt onto the outboard end of wing panels, reducing vulnerabilty to damage during ground handling.

Answer 22

Wing Roots and tips

Question 23

____are often part of a stressed skin design, meaning they share the load with spars and rubs, eliminating the need for extra-bracing.

Answer 23

Wing Skins

Question 24

Can be made from materials like aluminum or composite honeycomb structures, offering strength and durablity while being lightweight.

Answer 24

Wing Skin

Question 25

Aircraft often store ____ inside the wings using integral fuel tanks or bladder tanks.

Answer 25

Fuel Storage

Question 26

Sealed joints in the wing allow fuel to be stored directly inside, requiring minimal structural change.

Answer 26

Fuel Storage

Question 27

____ can be insterted into a wing, requiring a smaller opening and minmal alteration to the wing structure

Answer 27

Bladder tanks
