A principal spanwise member of the structural framework of a wing, stabilizer, other airfoil, and the like. It is designed to absorb bending loads applied to the airfoil.
Additional Information for Aircraft Spar
Aircraft spars are structural components that are an integral part of an aircraft's wing or fuselage structure. They are long, slender beams that run spanwise along the length of the wing or fuselage and provide support and strength to the aircraft's structure.
Spars are typically made of lightweight and strong materials such as aluminum or composite materials. They are designed to withstand the various loads and stresses experienced during flight, including aerodynamic forces, weight of the aircraft, and landing impacts.
In the supply class Airframe Structural Components, aircraft spars are categorized as critical components that are essential for the structural integrity and performance of the aircraft. They are manufactured to precise specifications and undergo rigorous testing and quality control processes to ensure their reliability and safety.
Within the supply group Aerospace Craft And Structural Components, aircraft spars are just one of the many types of components that are used in the construction and maintenance of aerospace craft. This supply group encompasses a wide range of structural components, including but not limited to spars, ribs, stringers, frames, and panels, that are necessary for the assembly and maintenance of aircraft and other aerospace vehicles.
Overall, aircraft spars play a crucial role in the overall strength and stability of an aircraft's structure, and they are an essential component within the Airframe Structural Components supply class and the Aerospace Craft And Structural Components supply group.
