Abstract

The study presents a structural design calculation for agricultural aircraft satisfying the requirements of the current situation in our country. The design is based on the load-bearing capacity analysis of structure by Finite Element Method and the Tsai-Wu criterion applied to composite materials. The structure is divided into sections that are analyzed separately using appropriate boundary conditions and loads. Based on analysis of the displacement field, stress field and Tsai-Wu value, suitable materials are found for components, including the main frame and the rotor arms. A full model has been made and it shows reasonable design results. In addition, the actual model shows that the aircraft operate stably and sustainably.
