A Structural Weight Estimation Program (SWEEP) for Aircraft. Volume V - Air Induction System and Landing Gear Modules. Part 1: Air Induction System Module

Abstract

Three computer programs were written with the objective of predicting the structural weight of aircraft through analytical methods. The first program, the structural weight estimation program (SWEEP), is a completely integrated program including routines for airloads, loads spectra, skin temperatures, material properties, flutter stiffness requirements, fatigue life, structural sizing, and for weight estimation of each of the major aircraft structural components. The final report is composed of 11 volumes. This volume (volume 5) contains the methodology program description, and user's information for the air induction system and landing gear modules of SWEEP.
