On the Preliminary Structural Design Strategy of the Wing of the Next-Generation Civil Tiltrotor Technology Demonstrator

On the Preliminary Structural Design Strategy of the Wing of the Next-Generation Civil Tiltrotor... The T-WING project is a Clean Sky 2 research project aimed at designing, manufacturing, qualifying and flight-testing the new wing of the Next-Generation Civil Tiltrotor Technology Demonstrator (NGCTR-TD), as part of the Fast Rotorcraft Innovative Aircraft Demonstrator Platforms (FRC IADP) activities. Requirements, design strategy, methodology and main steps followed to achieve the composite wing preliminary design are presented. The main driving requirements have been expressed in terms of dynamic requirements (e.g., limitations on natural frequencies), aeroelastic requirements, i.e., compliance with European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) CS-25 and CS-29 Airworthiness Requirements), structural requirements (e.g., target wing structural mass), functional requirements (e.g., fuel tanks, accessibility, assembly and integration, etc.) and wing preliminary loads. Based on the above-mentioned requirements, the first design loop is performed by targeting an optimal wing structure able to withstand preliminary design loads, and simultaneously with stiffness and inertia distributions leading to a configuration free from flutter within the flight envelope. The outcome from the first design loop is then used to refine the model and compute more reliable flight loads and repeat aeroelastic analysis, returning further requirements to be fulfilled in terms of wing stiffness and inertia distributions.

Abstract

The T-WING project is a Clean Sky 2 research project aimed at designing, manufacturing, qualifying and flight-testing the new wing of the Next-Generation Civil Tiltrotor Technology Demonstrator (NGCTR-TD), as part of the Fast Rotorcraft Innovative Aircraft Demonstrator Platforms (FRC IADP) activities. Requirements, design strategy, methodology and main steps followed to achieve the composite wing preliminary design are presented. The main driving requirements have been expressed in terms of dynamic requirements (e.g., limitations on natural frequencies), aeroelastic requirements, i.e., compliance with European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) CS-25 and CS-29 Airworthiness Requirements), structural requirements (e.g., target wing structural mass), functional requirements (e.g., fuel tanks, accessibility, assembly and integration, etc.) and wing preliminary loads. Based on the above-mentioned requirements, the first design loop is performed by targeting an optimal wing structure able to withstand preliminary design loads, and simultaneously with stiffness and inertia distributions leading to a configuration free from flutter within the flight envelope. The outcome from the first design loop is then used to refine the model and compute more reliable flight loads and repeat aeroelastic analysis, returning further requirements to be fulfilled in terms of wing stiffness and inertia distributions. The process is iterated till the fulfillment of all the project requirements.
