Mass Model

• Objective:

Center of Gravity of the aircraft is related to
 the stability condition of the aircraft.

Moment of inertias will be needed for the
 calculation of the stability derivatives.
Mass Model

• Two methods of calculations:

The first method (using CAD software)

The second technique (Manual calculations)
Mass Model

• Firstly we will define the Axis system we used:
We took the center of the general Axis at the
  leading edge of the airfoil cross section of the
  wing’s root.
The +ve Z direction is upward,
the +ve Y direction is in the right wing
  direction from the front view,
the +ve X direction is in the direction of the
  fuselage rear.
Mass Model

• The aircraft is divided into 3 main sections of
  components:

Structural Components.
Propulsion Components.
Control Components.

• Six layers
• Around 30 min between each layer
• Most reusable part
Manufacturing
Vacuum Bagging
Manufacturing Skin Using Vacuum
      Bagging Technique
• What is vacuum Bagging ?!
   a new technique used in composite manufacturing that used the
 pressure as a clamping force to press the fiber laminates together with the
 mold until the resin is cured.
Vacuum Bagging
Vacuum Bagging
                                  Light weight Product •
    vacuum bagging results in absorbing of excessive resin in the breather
material and can reduce Epoxy resin weight by 30% and total weight by
                                                                   15%

   Better uniformity of lay up (No thick / •
                     thin cross sections)
                             exact shaping •
       vacuum Bagging lay up results in perfect shape that exactly like the
female mold shape due to clamping force between mold and laminate.

              Strong bonding between layers •
