aircraft structures

Aircraft structures refer to the physical framework and components that make up an aircraft. This includes the wings, fuselage (body), tail, and landing gear, which are designed to withstand various forces during flight, such as lift, drag, and turbulence. These structures are typically made from lightweight materials like aluminum and composite materials to enhance fuel efficiency and performance. Aircraft structures must be rigorously tested for safety and durability, as they play a crucial role in ensuring the aircraft can safely transport passengers and cargo over long distances.
