AI Thread Summary
Creating a 747-400 wing model in PTC Parametric Creo 2.0 requires crucial dimensions like the root and tip chord, which are not publicly available. Suggestions include using scaled photographs or 2D drawings of the aircraft to estimate these dimensions, assuming a linear taper between the root and tip. Some users have successfully employed similar methods in their projects, yielding satisfactory results. The model will be used for CFD simulations to analyze aerodynamic properties. Accurate replication is essential for the project's success.

Hello,

This is in reference to a senior design project I must do. I have to create a 747-400 wing model in PTC Parametric Creo 2.0. The problem is that other than the wingspan, wing area, and sweep angle, Boeing does not reveal other crucial information such as taper ratio in order to find the root chord and the tip chord. I understand these things are company secrets. However, I need suggestions as to how to find the chords at the root and at the tip if the taper ratio is not given. The model must closely resemble the real wing. This wing model will then be ran into a CFD simulation program to find the aerodynamic properties. Any suggestions/ideas would be much appreciated.

Thank You

If all else fails, look for some good photographs and scale to get chord at the root and tip and then assume a linear variation in between.

yeah.like he said
scale down from given aircraft . 2D drawings...idid it many times in cllge year. Using Catia and it came out great.
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
