1 Contemporary Methods of Aircraft Construction and Design The construction of aircraft is a complicated process requiring precise calculation and innovative design in order to improve and maintain the structural integrity of the aircraft. Aerospace engineers must find a balance between reliability‚ strength and weight of the many components used in the fabrication of the aircraft. The design of an aircraft must take into account the magnitude of forces‚ such as lift and drag‚ acting upon the

Aircraft Pressurization System Airplanes‚ which do not have pressurization and air conditioning systems‚ are usually limited to the lower altitudes. They need to stay below 8‚000 feet. A cabin pressurization system accomplishes several functions in providing passengers comfort and safety. It maintains a cabin pressure altitude of approximately 8‚000 feet at the maximum designed cruising altitude of the airplane‚ and prevents rapid changes of cabin altitude‚ which may be dangerous to the passengers

Designing a Safer Passenger Aircraft Introduction to air safety: Aircrafts have become more advanced and fast‚ but they are drastically affected by ignorance and design incapability. However these structures can fly with more than 200 passengers and heavy cargo‚ but when they crash‚ they take away with them many lives and damage valuable property. To prevent such loses several aviation safety agencies like EASA(European Aviation Safety Agency) and FAA(Federal Aviation Administration) have been
