Wing panel and aircraft main wing
There is provided a wing panel having improved formability at the time when the wing panel is curvedly formed by the peen forming method, and an aircraft main wing provided with the said wing panel. For a stringer member 20 , a base part 21 is formed, and the neutral axis position N in the cross-sectional direction is located on the wing panel 11 side from the center position C in the height direction of a web part 22 . When the peen forming method is carried out by projecting metal shots to a portion near a flange part 23 in the tip end portion of the stringer member 20 , the tensile strain developing in the portion near a flange part 23 acts in a state in which the moment length around the neutral axis position N is kept long.
1. Method for producing a wing panel having a rib, comprising:
forming the rib such that a width-extended part extending along an inner surface of the wing panel and a web part rising from the width-expanded part in a direction perpendicular to the inner surface of the wing panel are formed integrally;
peen-forming the wing panel by projecting metal shots to a tip end portion of the web part so as to deform the wing panel curvedly so that the inner surface is convex in a span-wise direction of the wing panel, and
forming a neutral axis position on the rib in a cord-wise direction of the wing such that the neutral axis is located below a central axis of the rib, on the wing panel side of the rib.
2. Method for producing a wing panel having a rib according to claim 1 , wherein the width-expanded part is of a plate shape.
3. Method for producing a wing panel having a rib according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the width-expanded part in the rib rising direction is larger than the thickness of the rib on the tip end portion side.
4. Method for producing a wing panel having a rib according to claim 1 , wherein the web part is formed so that the thickness thereof increases gradually from the tip end portion to a base end portion of the web part.
5. Method for producing a wing panel having a rib according to claim 1 , wherein the rib is continuous along the span-wise direction of the wing panel.
6. Method for producing a wing panel having a rib according to claim 5 , wherein by collision of the metal shots, the rib is deformed so as to stretch in a spanwise direction of the wing.
7. Method for producing a wing panel having a rib according to claim 1 , wherein a flange part bent to the direction perpendicular to the web part in the tip end portion of the web part is formed integrally with the width-expanded part and the web part.
8. Method for producing a wing panel having a rib according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the width-expanded part is equal to a thickness of the web part.
9. Method for producing a wing panel having a rib according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the width-expanded part is larger than a thickness of the web part.
10. Method for producing a wing panel having a rib according to claim 1 , wherein the rib is formed by being machined out of a metallic base material that constitutes the wing panel.
11. Method for producing a wing panel having a rib according to claim 1 , wherein the rib is formed so that the thickness thereof increases gradually from the tip end portion to the base end portion of the rib.
