Structural Design and Analysis of Composite Flaperon for a Supersonic Aircraft
초음속 항공기용 복합재 플래퍼론의 구조설계 및 해석

Abstract
A metal flaperon of a supersonic aircraft including the ribs, and skins was re-designed with a graphite/epoxy composite material to evaluate the weight saving effect. MSC/NASTRAN was used for the finite element analysis. The safety of the composite structures were evaluated in terms of the failure index, section cut, buckling, bearing/bypass and durability and damage tolerance analysis. After the application of the composite material, total weight saving of 25.6 pounds was achieved.
