[0044] S3: Calculate the local pressure of the main landing gear fairing;
[0045] S4: Calculate the distributed pressure on the main landing gear fairing.
[0046] In S1, the method for calculating the local pressure of the hull by the empirical formula of hull water load is:
[0047] Local pressure:
[0048] In formula (1), P k is the local pressure of the hull, C2 is the empirical coefficient for determining the local pressure; V S1 is the stall speed of the aircraft at the design takeoff weight when the flaps are opened to the corresponding takeoff position; β k It is the local sheer angle of the hull, specifically the sheer angle at the keel of the hull, and K2 is the empirical coefficient of pressure distribution along the longitudinal direction of the fuselage.

[0052] In S2, the local position of the visible area of the main landing gear fairing local pressure impact is checked as 0.2m*0.2m, and the wall panels and their connections in the area are checked; the local pressure is evenly distributed in the action area.
[0053] In S2, the main landing gear fairing distributed pressure is evenly distributed in the entire visible area when viewed from above, and the hull frame and its connecting parts in the area are checked; when checking the hull frame, the bottom distributed pressure and the fairing distributed pressure must be considered at the same time; the distributed pressure is evenly distributed in the effective area.
[0054] In S3, the local pressure of the main landing gear fairing is calculated as:
[0055] Min(Max(P1,P2),P3)
[0056] in:
[0057]
[0058] In formula (3), K2 is the empirical coefficient of pressure distribution along the longitudinal direction of the fuselage, β k is the minimum ramp angle of the fairing, C2 is the empirical coefficient for determining the local pressure, V S1 It is the stall speed of the airplane at the design takeoff weight when the flaps are opened to the corresponding takeoff position;

[0061] In formula (3), βk Take the minimum slope angle of the fairing, which shall not be less than 15°; K2=0.5.
[0062] In S4, the calculation method of the distributed pressure of the main landing gear fairing is:

[0064] In formula (4), C2 is the empirical coefficient for determining local pressure, C4 is the empirical coefficient for determining distributed pressure, and P k The local pressure at the bottom of the main landing gear fairing is 1 / 3 of the local pressure at the side panels and their connections. k , P C The distributed pressure is applied to the main landing gear fairing. The distributed pressure acts on the entire visible area when viewed from above. The hull frame and its connecting parts in the verification area are not transmitted forward and backward as shear force and bending moment.
[0065] like Figure 3 As shown, K2 is the empirical coefficient of the pressure distribution along the longitudinal direction of the amphibious aircraft. This coefficient is a piecewise function of the position along the fuselage. The horizontal axis is the longitudinal length of the hull, and the vertical axis is the K2 coefficient, that is, a piecewise function of the X-axis coordinate and K2.
[0066] Embodiment 2:
[0067] Aiming at the fact that there is no current calculation basis for the main landing gear fairing of amphibious aircraft, the present invention provides a water load calculation method for the main landing gear fairing of amphibious aircraft in combination with design and test experience, links the water load calculation method for the main landing gear fairing with the water load calculation of the hull, and reasonably and accurately provides a water load calculation method for the main landing gear fairing of amphibious aircraft, thereby providing accurate load input for the structural design and strength verification of amphibious aircraft and improving the safety of amphibious aircraft in water taxiing, take-off and water landing.
[0068] Step 1: Parameter preparation, including the shape of the hull and main landing gear fairing, as shown in Figure 1, as well as aerodynamic data, aircraft landing weight and take-off weight, etc.
[0069] Step 2: Select appropriate empirical coefficients of local pressure and distributed pressure of hull water load based on aircraft design parameters and usage mode.
[0070] Step 3: Calculate the stall speed of the aircraft without the influence of slipstream at the maximum takeoff and landing weight based on the maximum lift coefficient of the aircraft under the flaps during takeoff and landing.
[0071] Step 4: Calculate the local pressure and distributed pressure of the hull with the main landing gear fairing according to the empirical formula of the local pressure and distributed pressure of the amphibious aircraft hull.
[0072] in, Here P k is the pressure at the keel, unit: pa, see Figure 5 C2 is the empirical coefficient for determining local pressure; V S1 The stall speed of the aircraft when the flaps are opened to the corresponding takeoff position at the design takeoff weight, unit: m / s; β k is the slope angle at the keel, unit: °, see Figure 3 ; K2 is the empirical coefficient of pressure distribution along the longitudinal direction of the hull, see Figure 4 .
[0073] Step 5. Based on the design and test experience, the local position of the visible area of the main landing gear fairing local pressure impact is divided into 0.2m*0.2m, and the wall panels and their connections in this area are mainly checked. The distributed pressure is evenly distributed over the entire visible area, and the hull frame and its connections are mainly checked, but it does not have to be transmitted forward and backward as shear force and bending moment. When checking the hull frame, the bottom distributed pressure and the fairing distributed pressure should be considered at the same time. The local pressure and distributed pressure are evenly distributed in the action area.
[0074] Step 6: The bottom of the main landing gear fairing can be used as the local pressure design of the hull. However, considering the installation position and function of the main landing gear fairing, and referring to the structural form of the relevant aircraft model, its local pressure shall not be less than the local pressure of the bottom of the ship at the exit of the main landing gear fairing, but shall not be greater than the pressure value of the corresponding station of the hull.
[0075] Step 7. Main landing gear fairing local pressure: Min(Max(P1,P2),P3), where:
[0076]
[0077] Here, β k Take the minimum deadrise angle of the fairing, but according to the specification, this value cannot be less than 15°, K2=0.5. Since the deadrise angle at the bottom of the main landing gear fairing is smaller than the deadrise angle of the hull at the corresponding station, it is calculated according to the empirical formula for local hull pressure.
[0078] The same frame is located at p k主起整流罩 >p k船体 , which is inconsistent with the previous regulation that the local pressure shall not be greater than the pressure value of the corresponding station on the hull. Therefore, after comparative analysis, C2 main landing gear fairing = 3 / 4C2 hull; P2 is the local pressure at the exit of the main landing gear fairing, unit: pa; P3 is the average local pressure at the bilge of the ship before and after the step, unit: pa.
[0079] Step 7: The main landing gear fairing distribution pressure is:
[0080]
[0081] The distributed action is applied to the entire visible area when looking up, and is mainly used to check the frame and its connections, but it does not have to be transmitted forward and backward as shear force and bending moment.
[0082] Step 8: The local pressure and distributed pressure are evenly distributed in the action area. For the structure not covered by the above load, the load on the bottom area of the main landing gear fairing is P k , the side panels and their connections take 1 / 3 of the local pressure P k .
[0083] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
