Design Verification and Conceptual Development of Fuselage for Project Re-Wright

Abstract: The present report summarizes the conceptual design development process for the fuselage in project Re-Wright. The project Re-Wright is about building a tailless human powered aircraft started as a course work in spring 2014 for the Aeronautical engineering master programme students in Linköping University. This thesis deals with the design development of the fuselage for the Re-Wright. It includes the preliminary study of the previous research on this project, verification and conceptual design alterations of the fuselage and analysis. The fuselage design in course TMAL08 is developed in an iterative process where in the sixth iteration, the concept is finalised for this project and further developed. The design is modelled using CATIA and the final design is produced. The analysis on kinematics, weight and friction is done and submitted in their respective platforms. The results are mainly concentrated in design development so only the analysis is preliminary.
