Book Description

This book describes the production version of the B-2707. Minimal differences will exist between the production and prototype airplanes because of availability of materials, processes, and facilities. A general discussion is presented of the structural design. A complete description is included of structural design features of the wing, fuselage, empennage, control surfaces, and landing gear, including drawings of all major assemblies. A preliminary stress analysis discusses methods of analysis, stress levels, member sizes, allowable stresses, and analysis and description of fail-safe designs. An analysis of structure designed by sonic or high-temperature effects is included. A fatigue analysis, includes fatigue criteria and environment, analysis procedure, fatigue damage summaries, fatigue analysis results, and 1-g stress levels.
