Considerations regarding Light Weight Design (LWD) for Aerostructures
Journal Title: RECENT - Year 2012, Vol 13, Issue 36
Abstract
This article proposes an integrated view over the lightweight design of aerostructures, a fundamental problem of aircraft industry, this becoming also actual for other domains. Coming out from a direct experience in aerospace engineering and project management, this paper is aiming to identify few historical milestones, basic principles and problems. The end is an analysis of actual method of weight control and reduction for an aircraft.
