The purpose of this project is to study and practice the techniques discussed in multidisciplinary courses aeronautical structure and load calculations to estimate the mass of an aircraft wing. The model studied is the Airbus A320. We first describe the characteristics of the wing of the aircraft. We will then study the aerodynamic forces, their distribution in the wings and aerodynamic load cases. In the next section, we will calculate the stresses induced by the bending of the wing and deduce the thickness of coatings that resist buckling. We also do a sensitivity analysis on the pitch of the ribs and stiffeners. Then, we will model the wing in SolidWorks and we will issue the card with Nastran constraints. Finally, we will provide our comments on the orders of magnitude obtained and the assumptions made the means to implement must be substantial to obtain an accurate result. The challenge of this project is to model the wing sufficiently wise to obtain an order of magnitude closer to reality. We consider an error of 15-20 % compared to the actual weight of the wing is suitable as part of a project like this [1].
