SHEET CONSTRUCTION AIRCRAFT COMPONENTS DRAWINGS

Abstract

The article describes the methodology of teaching the rules for the image of aviation products made of sheet material obtained by cutting, bending, drawing, etc. These rules, according to the graduate's competence model, are necessary for students to study design specialties of aviation universities. The proposed methodology implies the study of these rules in the framework of performing specialized graphic work in the discipline “Engineering Graphics”. The methodology includes a description of the structural elements of sheet parts and the features of their image in the drawings. Special attention when teaching this topic should be paid to the requirements for maintaining the strength and rigidity of the structure with a minimum weight. These requirements make it necessary to introduce special elements into the design of parts, such as bending, flanging, rifts, etc., as well as the need to depict scans in the drawing in order to clarify the shape of the parts. The considered examples allow students to form practical skills and abilities for displaying products made of sheet material in drawings; to acquire skills for reading drawings of thin-walled aircraft structures; to deepen knowledge of the state ESKD standards for the development and design of drawings of metal structures; to develop technical thinking. The material was tested while teaching the discipline “Engineering Graphics” at the Moscow Aviation Institute (National Research University).
