Airbus and Boeing are the dominant assemblers of large jet airliners while ATR, Bombardier and Embraer lead the regional airliner market; many manufacturers produce airframe structural components.airframe structural design The airframe of a fixed-wing aircraft consists of five principal units: the fuselage, wings, stabilizers, flight control surfaces, and landing gear. Helicopter airframes consist of the fuselage, main rotor and related gearbox, tail rotor (on helicopters with a single main rotor), and the landing gear. Airframe structural components are constructed from a wide variety of materials. The earliest aircraft were constructed primarily of wood. Steel tubing and the most common material, aluminum, followed. Many newly certified aircraft are built from molded composite materials, such as carbon fiber. Structural members of an aircraft’s fuselage include stringers, longerons, ribs, bulkheads, and more. The main structural member in a wing is called the wing spar. The skin of aircraft can also be made from a variety of materials, ranging from impregnated fabric to plywood, aluminum, or composites. Under the skin and attached to the structural fuselage are the many components that support airframe function. The entire airframe and its components are joined by rivets, bolts, screws, and other fasteners. Welding, adhesives, and special bonding techniques are also used. Wing Skin Often, the skin on a wing is designed to carry part of the flight and ground loads in combination with the spars and ribs. This is known as a stressed-skin design. The all-metal, full cantilever wing section shows the structure of one such design. The lack of extra internal or external bracing requires that the skin share some of the load. Notice the skin is stiffened to aid with this function.

Soldiers Awarded for Daring Creek Fire Rescue, Pushing Aircraft and Crew to Their Limits

Crews of two California Army National Guard helicopters were awarded the nation’s highest flying honors personally by president Donald Trump on Sept. 14, for rescuing more 200 people from the path of raging wildfires in California. Each of the seven crew members was presented a Distinguished Flying Cross, which is awarded for "heroism or extraordinary achievement while participating in an aerial flight".

JAMCO Develops Incremental Cabin Improvements for COVID Safety

Jamco Corporation, a Japan-based aircraft interiors manufacturer, is focusing its attention on incremental, cost-effective passenger-experience improvements amid the COVID-19 crisis, in a new initiative called Project Blue Sky. The global leader in building aircraft galleys and lavatories revealed a new door handle and locking knob that enable passengers to open the lavatory door with their elbows and forearms, as part of its global, collaborative effort between Jamco and its affiliates to develop and produce touchless, hygienic cabin interior products for the aerospace industry. Jamco Corporation's new hands-free lavatory technology. The initiative, announced Aug. 8, hopes to increase cabin cleanliness and to alleviate passenger stress during air travel. The pandemic will change travel habits, and Jamco has already started looking into how that will affect aircraft cabins. Hands-free, low-touch concepts for the toilet seat lid and waste flap are close to follow the new doo...

Less Flights... More Fatalities? Airline Accident Fatalities Rise in 2020

Despite a historic drop in airline activity in 2020 because of COVD-19-related travel restrictions, fatal accidents in 2020 were just as high as in recent years with normal commercial flying activity. 2019 had four-to-five times the number of flights flown in 2020, and 2020 saw more fatalities. Globally, there were 12 fatal airline accidents in 2020, resulting in deaths of 332 passengers and crew compared with 22 fatal accidents and 297 fatalities in 2019 when the commercial airline activity was operating a a normal level in 2019. There were four jet accidents in 2020, three of which were the result of poorly planned and badly executed approaches to serviceable aircraft in conditions that should not have been a problem for the crews. These accidents were Pegasus Airlines Flight 2193 at Istanbul on February 5, Pakistan International Airlines Flight 8303 that crashed in Model Colony May 22, and Air India Express Flight 1344 that overran a runway on August 7. These accidents...
