A380-e Belly Fairing

PROJECT DETAILS

• Client: AIRBUS MILITARY, CT Engineers
• Date: 2010 – 2012
• Technologies: Static Structural Analysis and Fatigue Analysis of Primary Structure

DESCRIPTION

ICEMM has participated in the analysis of the metallic structure of the belly fairing of the Airbus A380-e. In this project, the analytical calculation of the different elements that make up the metallic structure of the belly fairing (stringers, frames, cross fittings, bars, etc.) has been carried out, starting from the parts of the Airbus A380_ALS08-S3i2 belly fairing model and resizing all the impacted parts.

A380e – Belly Fairing

ACTIVITIES
