51-00 STRUCTURE – GENERAL
P2002 JF structure is manufactured with metal materials.
Dimensions and areas of the airplane are reported on Chapter 06; inspection caps are
described on Chapter 06 as well.
WING
Each wing consists of a central light alloy torque box which carries all the wing
bending, shear and torque loads; an aluminum leading edge is attached to the front spar
while flap and aileron are hinged to the rear spar.
Flap and aileron, respectively located inboard and outboard of wing and made up of
light alloy, are constructed with a central spar to which front and rear ribs are jointed.
Wrapped around aluminum stressed skin panels cover all the structures.
Steel alloy attachments connect left and right wing to each other.
The ailerons control is actuated manually through the control wheels, or automatically
through the autopilot system, if installed. The ailerons are balanced by balance
masses.
The ailerons are hinged at two places on the rear spar of each wing.
Flaps provide the required extra lift to the wings when partially extended, and the
required lift and drag (to reduce airplane speed for landing) when fully extended.
Each flap is hinged to the rear spar of the wing at three locations.
