148 AFDD Weight Models<br />

fold/tilt weights are:<br />

wfair = SfairUfair<br />

wflap = SflapUflap<br />

wfit = ffit<br />

(wprim + wfair + wflap)<br />

1 − ffit<br />

wfold = ffold (Wprim + Wfair + Wflap + Wfit + Wtip)<br />

Wfair = χfairwfair<br />

Wflap = χflapwflap<br />

Wfit = χfitwfit<br />

Wfold = χfoldwfold<br />

The control surface area Sflap for a tiltrotor wing is the sum of the flap and flaperon areas. The fairing<br />

area is<br />

The wing extension weight is:<br />

Sfair =(bw − wattach) cw (1 − wtb) − Sflap<br />

wext = SextUext<br />

wefold = fefoldWext<br />

Wext = χextwext<br />

Wefold = χefoldwefold<br />

and these terms are added to Wprim and Wfold. The tiltrotor-wing weight (and wing folding weight in<br />

fuselage group) depends on the weight on the wing tips, Wtip, which is the sum of rotor group, engine<br />

section or nacelle group, air induction group, engine system, drive system (except drive shaft), rotary<br />

wing and conversion flight controls, hydraulic group, trapped fluids, and wing extensions. The weight<br />

on wing tip is used as the fraction ftip = Wtip/WSD; the mass on the wing tip is Mtip (slug or kg).<br />

To estimate the wing weights, the required stiffness is scaled with input frequencies (per rev) of the<br />

wing primary bending and torsion modes. First the torque box is sized to meet the torsional stiffness<br />

(frequency) requirement. Next spar-cap area is added as required to meet the chord and beam bendingfrequency<br />

requirements. Finally spar-cap area is added if necessary for a jump takeoff condition. Wing<br />

section form factors, relating typical airfoil and torque-box geometry to ideal shapes, are input or<br />

calculated from the thickness-to-chord ratio and the torque-box-chord to wing-chord ratio:<br />

for beam bending, chord bending, torsion, and spar cap vertical/horizontal bending. The ideal shape<br />

for torsional stiffness is a tube of radius tw, so the torsional stiffness J = FT Atbt2 w/4. The ideal shape<br />

for chord bending is two caps ctb apart, so ICtb = FCAtbc2 tb /4. The ideal shape for beam bending is two<br />

caps tw apart, so IBsp = FVHAspt 2 w/4 and IBtb = FBAtbt 2 w/4. The torque-box cross-sectional area is<br />

obtained from the wing-torsion frequency;<br />
