Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of aviation technology, and in particular relates to a cross-sectional shape of a fuselage of a civil cargo aircraft. Background Art

[0002] The cross-section of the fuselage of civil cargo aircraft mostly adopts a circular cross-section. Its advantages are that under a certain cross-sectional area, the appearance is smooth, the circumference is minimal, the aerodynamic resistance is small, and the manufacturing process is good. The disadvantage is that the aircraft floor is high from the ground, which is not convenient for cargo to enter and exit the cabin, and the space utilization rate in the cabin is low, and the economy is poor. With the rapid development of the international freight market, especially the transportation of large containers, the original circular cross-section of the fuselage can no longer fully meet the requirements of aircraft transportation and economy. Therefore, it is necessary to design a new fuselage cross-section shape to meet the development and use needs of civil cargo aircraft. Summary of the invention

[0003] Purpose of the invention: To provide a cross-sectional shape of the fuselage of a civil cargo aircraft, so as to overcome the shortcomings of the conventional circular cross-sectional shape of the fuselage of aircraft, such as low space utilization and poor economy.

[0004] Technical solution:

[0005] A cross-sectional shape of a fuselage of a civil cargo aircraft, wherein the cross-sectional shape of the fuselage of the civil cargo aircraft comprises: a first circular arc 1, two second circular arcs 2, and a spline curve 3, wherein two ends of the first circular arc 1 are respectively connected to one end of the two second circular arcs 2, and the other ends of the two second circular arcs 2 are respectively connected to two ends of the spline curve 3, the first circular arc 1 is bilaterally symmetrical, and the two second circular arcs 2 are bilaterally symmetrical; the spline curve 3 is bilaterally symmetrical, and any two line segments have a smooth transition to each other, and the first-order derivative is continuous.

[0006] Furthermore, the connection points of the two second arcs 2 and the spline curve 3 are located on the plane where the floor is located.

[0007] Furthermore, the dimension h from the top of the container to the ceiling of the aircraft meets the requirements of airworthiness standards.

[0008] Furthermore, on the plane where the floor is located, the dimension j from the outer shape of the single-side container to the outer shape line of the aircraft meets the requirements of airworthiness standards, and at the same time meets the requirements of container lateral mooring, lateral guide plate installation, and personnel activity space.

[0009] Furthermore, the maximum height dimension of the space below the aircraft floor is g, which is used for the system installation and maintenance of various cables, equipment, and pipelines of the aircraft.

[0010] Furthermore, the first arc 1 is located above the aircraft ceiling.

[0011] Furthermore, the spline curve 3 is located under the aircraft floor. The spline curve 3 has three key points, namely, the two intersection points of the floor line and the aircraft shape and the intersection point below the aircraft symmetry axis. It is tangent to the left and right second arcs 2 and smoothly transitions. The first-order derivative is continuous.

[0012] Furthermore, the two second arcs 2 are located above the aircraft floor and below the ceiling.

[0013] Beneficial effects:

[0014] The present invention overcomes the shortcomings of the commonly used circular cross-section shape of the fuselage of existing aircraft, such as low space utilization and poor economy, and provides a fuselage cross-section shape that meets the use requirements of modern civil cargo aircraft, etc., improves the comprehensive economic performance of the aircraft, and meets the use requirements of civil transportation.

[0015] The container cargo hold space is straight-through, which is convenient for cargo transportation, loading and unloading. The height of the aircraft floor from the ground is reduced, which significantly improves the performance of aircraft cargo transportation. Each part of the aircraft cross section pursues reasonable and minimum effective space, improves the utilization rate of the cabin space, reduces the weight of the aircraft, and improves the economy of the aircraft. It has good processability and maintainability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
