AI Thread Summary
Aircraft experience various loads, including aerodynamic, gravitational, and inertial forces, which are crucial for structural integrity and safety. The FAA provides extensive online resources regarding aircraft loads, particularly in Parts 23 and 25 of the Airworthiness Standards. Recommended reading includes "Analysis and Design of Flight Vehicle Structures" by E.F. Bruhn, despite being out of print, and "Aircraft Structures" by David J. Peery and J.J. Azar, noted for its comprehensive coverage. These resources are essential for understanding the complexities of aircraft loads. Familiarity with these materials will enhance knowledge in aircraft design and safety standards.

hi,
i need to know what are the loads acting on aircraft ?
just suggest me some book to read?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The FAA has a lot of online info on aircraft loads http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgFAR.nsf/MainFrame?OpenFrameSet"

PART 23--AIRWORTHINESS STANDARDS: NORMAL, UTILITY, ACROBATIC

PART 25--AIRWORTHINESS STANDARDS: TRANSPORT CATEGORY AIRPLANES

As for Books, I suggest the following
Bruhn, E.F.; 1965; Analysis and Design of Flight Vehicle Structures. It is currently out of print, but is considered by many in the field as the best

Peery, David J. and J.J. Azar; Aircraft Structures, Second Edition; McGraw-Hill Book Company; New York, NY; 1982. A very good textbook.

Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
