External Loads Services
External Loads is the engineering discipline that defines aerodynamic and
inertial loads acting on an aircraft during taxi, take-off, flight, and
landing. Computational Methods personnel are experienced in the
development and calculation of external loads for aircraft. Computational
Methods personnel use an internally developed database method for combining and
searching the numerous ground and flight conditions an airplane can experience.
External loads methods have essentially two forms, beam methods and panel
point methods. Computational Methods uses a panel point method, which we
believe provides a more accurately distributed and more robust definition of
external loads. Continuous spectral loadings such as taxi, gust are
treated separately from quasi static loadings.
External loads efforts are unique to each program and objective, please
contact us with your requirements.
