Final project Structural design and test of wing

Project mode: Group 4 members

Each group will design, build, and test a structural configuration for a wing construction. The goal is to design, analyze, build and test
a wing structure that will carry the heaviest load, have the minimum weight possible while meeting given specifications and predicted
behavior from analysis. All wing structures will be gradually loaded until they fail.
Specifications:
1. Structure construction: Semi-monocoque3
2. Structural elements to be used: ribs, spars, stringers, and/or skin
3. Materials of construction: free4
4. Wing geometry:

V 100 km/h
7. The construction must be accompanied by a documented report of design, analysis, and construction.
8. Supports and loading configuration are depicted in Fig. 15.
9. Grading will be based on the maximum loading to weight ratio (Lmax/W) (20%), accuracy of reported results (25%), project
report (40%), and delivery (15%) as presented in table 1.1.

Penalties:
1. Dimensions: Length/chord tolerance of +/- 4mm, and thickness tolerance of+/-2 mm are allowed; 0.5 points in final grade will
be deducted due to tolerance violations.
2. Loading to weight ratio: Values less than n = 4.4 will be automatically graded 0 (zero).
