Our capability• Structural design, encompassing composite and metallic
materials• Stress analysis utilising the latest fatigue and damage tolerance,
and linear and non-linear finite element tools• Design and analysis of drive systems for moveables, including
geometric and kinematic definition• Calculation of wing and moveables load conditions, and
selecting the critical shear, moment and torsion distributions• Systems integration, including fuel systems• Supply chain and RSP management.
Our experience• Dornier 728 jet slat drive system• A380 checkstress• A380 metallic rib and inner flap design, assessment
and certification• A400M flaps components design, assessment and certification• A350XWB wing concept and preliminary design• Heavy landing analysis of wing structures• Bird strike of wing leading edge.
Atkins’ wing structures experience includes assessment of the slat drive system on the Dornier 728 jet.
Our experience at a glanceCase study – A380 checkstressIn addition to A380 design and moveables work, Atkins was responsible for delivering the A380 checkstress midbox programme.
Our engineers provided an independent analysis of the covers, metallic ribs, rear and centre spars, pylon attachment, and wingtip and fence. Atkins delivered all the static and fatigue Aircraft Certification Documents (ACDs), calculation files and SRM requirements to achieve type certification for the A380. In addition, Atkins managed a supply chain of second tier suppliers and risk sharing partners.
In order to achieve certification, Atkins developed the requisite methodologies, and performed static stress and fatigue and damage tolerance analyses on key wingbox structural components. The work involved a combination of traditional hand calculations supplemented by linear and non-linear finite element analysis.
A380 checkstress was one of the largest assessment work packages ever outsourced by Airbus. It was delivered by 130 Atkins engineers based in offices around the world.
