ABSTRACT
Structural stability of materials for aeronautical applications is one of the task for material providers.
Even though some materials are available in the present market there is lack of cost considerations
with high stability is still on the process. Main focus of this research considering non coating
applications by mixing less percentage of Ni and TiB

added for aluminium alloy composites.
In this project detailed design of Boeing 707 aircraft wing structure made by using CREO
PARAMETER 2.0. Then stress analysis of the wing structure is carried out to compute the stresses at
wing structure. The static structural analysis are estimated by using the finite element approach with
the help of ANSYS-workbench 14 to find out the safety factor of the structure. The response of the
wing structure will be evaluated.
Keywords: Aircraft Design, CREO Parameter 2.0, FEA, Static Structural Analysis.
I. INTRODUCTION
Aviation technology is a revolutionary emerging field. Aeronautical engineering stands as the pillar
towards space science. In this regard the developing countries are stepping forward to expand their
aviation field although materials. Wing structure consists of skin, ribs and spar sections. The spar
carries flight loads and the weight of the wings while on the ground. Other structural and forming
members such as ribs are attached to the spars, with stressed skin. The wings are the most important
lift producing part of the aircraft. The design of wings may vary according to the type of aircraft and
its purpose. Experimental testing of wing structure is more expensive and time consuming process.
The particular design of a wing depends on many factors, such as the size, weight, speed, rate of
climb, and use of the aircraft. The wing must be constructed so that it holds its aerodynamics shape
under the extreme stresses of combat manoeuvres or wing loading. Wings develop the major portion
of the lift of a heavier-than-air aircraft. Wing structures carry some of the heavier loads found in the
aircraft structure. 80% of the lift load will be carried by wing structure in a transport category aircraft.
Because of the lift load, wings will bend upward during flight. The particular design of a wing
depends on many factors, such as the size, weight, speed, rate of climb, and use of the aircraft. The
wing must be constructed so that it holds its aerodynamics shape under the extreme stresses of combat
maneuvers or wing loading. The wings of most naval aircraft are of all metal, full cantilever
construction. Often, they may be folded for carrier use. A full cantilever wing structure is very strong.
