A structural design study was conducted to assess the | |
relative merits of structural concepts using advanced | |
composite materials for an advanced supersonic aircraft | |
cruising at Mach 2.7. The configuration and structural | |
arrangement developed during Task I and II of the study, | |
previously reported in NASA CR-132576, was used as the | |
baseline configuration. Allowable stresses and strains | |
were established for boron and advanced graphite fibers | |
based on projected fiber properties available in the next | |
decade. Structural concepts were designed and analyzed | |
using graphite polyimide and boron polyimide, applied to | |
stiffened panels and conventional sandwich panels. The | |
conventional sandwich panels were selected as the | |
structural concept to be used on the wing structure. The | |
upper and lower surface panels of the Task I arrow wing | |
were redesigned using high-strength graphite polyimide | |
sandwich panels over the titanium spars and ribs. The | |
ATLAS computer system was used as the basis for stress | |
analysis and resizing the surface panels using the loads | |
from the Task II study, without adjustment for change in | |
aeroelastic deformation. The flutter analysis indicated a | |
decrease in the flutter speed compared to the baseline | |
titanium wing design. The flutter speed was increased to | |
that of the titanium wing, with a weight penalty less | |
than that of the metallic airplane. | |
