Abstract
: Aircraft Wing structure consists of skin, ribs and spar sections. The spar carries flight loads and the weight of the wings while on the ground. Other structural and forming members, such as ribs, are attached to the spars with stressed skin. The wings are the most critical components for producing lift in an aircraft. The design of wings may vary according to the type of aircraft and its purpose. Experimental testing of wing structure is a more expensive and time-consuming process. In this project, the detailed design of an aircraft wing structure was created using CATIA V5 R20. Then, a structural analysis of the wing structure is conducted to determine the stresses within it. The stresses are estimated using the finite element approach with the help of ANSYS-14.5 to determine the Stresses, strains, shear stress, and total deformations of the structure using different materials, including Al6061, S2 Glass, and carbon epoxy. This analysis ultimately concludes that the suitable material for the aircraft wing is.
