About this document
Ribless Composite Leading Edge Design by Sharan Kharthik is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses the certification of a composite leading edge for the C27J aircraft through birdstrike analysis. Finite element modeling was used to simulate numerous birdstrike scenarios and validate the design. Testing of small samples and structures was also performed. The validated simulation methodology and testing allowed for an improved and lighter design that satisfied certification requirements with reduced costs. The key achievement was a ribless composite leading edge that met regulations
