Aircraft Metallic Primary Structures

Catalog description

A study of aircraft metal primary structures and materials commonly used in the design and construction of airframes including fuselages, wings, and control surfaces. Students gain theoretical knowledge and practical experience associated with the structural properties of materials used in the manufacturing process as well as the methods used to fabricate and repair those structures. Students practice structural metal repairs according to FAA approved data and manufacturer's recommended procedures. Skills in aluminum sheet metal fabrication and repairs are stressed.
