To: Mr. Frame CC: Larry DuCharme From: Jason Kee Subject: Review of the Make-Or-Buy Decision for 878 Aircraft Executive Summary As per our conversation last week‚ I have calculated the cost estimates you requested regarding whether we should manufacture the new 878 body sections ourselves or purchase them from the Japanese supplier. Based on the information given to me by the various departments involved‚ I have come to a conclusion that it would be to our advantage to produce the body sections

Aircraft Design Project Introduction You have designed a launch vehicle to insert a satellite into orbit . You now need a means to transport that satellite from your factory to the launch site. A cargo jet aircraft is the most likely candidate‚ though it may have to be unusual in size and shape because of the weight and shape envelope of the satellite design. Speed is not critically important but range is. Since the aerospace industry has become truly an international business it would be advisable

an aircraft’s main body section that holds crew and passengers or cargo. In single-engine aircraft it will usually contain an engine‚ although in some amphibious aircraft the single engine is mounted on a pylon attached to the fuselage which in turn is used as a floating hull. The fuselage also serves to position control and stabilization surfaces in specific relationships to lifting surfaces‚ required for aircraft stability and maneuverability.

Corrosion manifests in many different forms. Concentration cell corrosion‚ or crevice corrosion‚ is the most common type found on airplanes‚ occurring whenever water is trapped between two surfaces‚ such as under loose paint‚ within a delaminated bond-line‚ or in an unsealed joint. It can quickly develop into pitting or exfoliation corrosion‚ depending on the alloy‚ form‚ and temper of the material being attacked. Crevice corrosion damage in the lap joints of aircraft skins has become a major safety

There were many aircrafts in World War II‚ this is the history and the different types of aircrafts. The World War II aircrafts were a deadly weapon and there were many of them. These aircrafts pretty much make up the war. The attacks and battles in World War II mostly used aircrafts to attack enemies from the sky. The history of the aircraft goes way back. Manufacturers made many different aircrafts for many different purposes. World War II allies needed many aircrafts to win the war‚ and 100

AGING AIRCRAFT: STRUCTURAL FAILURE Introduction 1. The term ‘Aging Aircraft’ generally applies to the aircraft getting older in its operational service. An aircraft begins to ‘Age’ as soon as it first flies and various effects begin to occur. However‚ the term is usually applied to the issues which can begin to arise as the time-since-new becomes significant. Aircraft design methodologies and approved maintenance schedules take account of the effects of the continued use of aircraft. Non Destructive
