EMPENNAGE STRESS ANALYSIS REPORT

Abstract

This report presents the stress analysis of the Model XV-5A empennage. The structure analyzed includes the horizontal and vertical stabilizers, and the elevator and rudder. The analyses, which are intended to provide summary type information, include critical loading data; computation of internal stresses and shears, and brief detailed analyses to find margins of safety of the major components. The empennage was successfully proof tested to limit load. Conditions F-12 and F-13 were combined to produce the critical symmetrical condition. The critical unsymmetrical rolling moment of condition AF-6 was applied during the fuselage unsymmetrical test condition. All loads are ultimate values, unless otherwise stated.
