Check again on the type of aircraft so as to know strength required, drags expected, the size of the ram to come up with.
Material availability is a great concern too.
For most Boeing aircrafts, the undercarriage itself is made of steel (structural) and so are the actuators. Seals may be made...
Hi,
Am looking out for a forum on aircraft propulsion and performance engineering.
in case its not there i propose to start one, where we can exchange ideas and service issues. Am one of you.
I am glad I have also learnt a lot from this discussion. Am a project engineer and have drawn some slight experiences which I would like to share with you....
Softwares like Ms Project and Outlook can go a long way to assist you in scheduling, planning, resource allocation and for reminders...
My boss once told me,
" Always be trust worthy and can be relied upon by people you work with. This would come in very handy one time"
He told me that sometimes, he gets some things done (Protocols and bureacracies not with standing), not because he has the influence of being a manager, but...
The current edition of the SRM from your aircraft manufacturer has priority over any other manual you may come across. However, you may use these others for knowledge purposes.
Am designing an aluminium structure and am torn between selecting circular hollow sections and square tubes, for the supports.
Preliminary stress calculations (taking same dimension for diameter and length)shows me that circular ones would bear more bending stresses than the square tube.
Is...
TBP,
Thanks for your input so far.
The pipe length is about 100" vertical and about the same horizontally. I had not checked on the safety valve setting as i didnt think it was critical to the distribution pipe selection.
If am to go for stainless steel, I tend to think that I may have a...
MrCivilDrafter,
I agree with CarlB. It has always worked for me.
Follow this tip:
PEDIT then select one of the lines,select option JOIN.

TBP,
The main pipe from the compressor line has a diameter of approx 2". Compressed air is also used for filter cleaning among other purposes. Could rubber be feasible?
Am designing an aluminium docking structure to be used by mechanics during aircraft maintenance. As they use compressed air for their pneumatic drills, one of the design requirements is to install distribution piping on the structure, which can later be connected to the main pipes (from the...
