4. December 1, 2003PDR4 Boom Sizing Tail boom sizing requirements: – support the maximum loading conditions Maximum elevator and rudder deflections –Small angle of twist –Small deflection Assumptions and Chooses –5g (5 times gravity) is maximum lift loading –Boom support is fixed to fuselage –Spruce L el L rdr L el L rdr

5. December 1, 2003PDR5 Maximum Loading Maximum Lift of Rudder and Elevator –Maximum Velocity –Maximum Coefficient of Lift Maximum deflection Maximum Bending Moment –Longest Moment arm Max bending at fixed end x Lift

6. December 1, 2003PDR6 Tail Boom Property Requirements Requirement: –M y = maximum bending moment –z=distance from centroid to farthest edge –σ xx = ultimate yielding stress (material property) –Iy= Moment of Inertia of cross section Requirement: θ small degree at tip in Appendix Requirement: is small –E=Young’s Modulus (material property) –I=depends on cross section L P
