Resolving applied-mechanics problems in creating Antonov transport aircraft

  • Published:
International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

Some problems of flight mechanics encountered in creating transport aircraft designed by O. K. Antonov are described. To solve these problems, the Antonov ASTC used equations that describe the motion of aircraft under diverse conditions, including during cargo airdrop, under servotab control, and with multileg landing gears. The results of the theoretical and experimental studies as well as the practical work carried out to make aircraft structures of polymer composite materials are presented. Approaches to and a sequence of resolving problems of designing low-, medium-, and high-loaded structures are outlined. Photos of the most typical composite components and structures are shown
