Aircra& Drawings Chapter 2 Drawings •  Drawings and prints are the link between the design engineers and the mechanics •  To accomplish their job, mechanics must be able to read and understand manufacturer's drawings and documenta?on •  A mechanic must be able to create a drawing to describe a replacement part •  FAA requires a mechanic to have the up-­‐to-­‐date documenta?on !
Annual subscrip?on for small aircra& is about $20,000 Computer Graphics •  Most new drawings are created on a computer •  CAD – Computer Aided Design CADD -­‐ Computer Aided Design Dra&ing !  CAE – Computer Aided Engineering !
•  CAM – Computer Aided Manufacturing •  CNC – Computer Numerical Control Type of Drawings •  Detail Drawing !
The informa?on needed to fabricate a part •  Assembly Drawing Descrip?on of an object made up of two or more parts !  Instruc?ons on how to create an assembly from a collec?on of smaller parts !
•  Installa?on Drawing Informa?on for a part or an assembly in the final installed posi?on in the aircra& !  Shows the dimensions necessary for the loca?on of specific parts with rela?on to the other parts !

Sec?onal View Drawing •  A sec?on or sec?onal view is obtained by cuSng away part of an object to show the shape and construc?on at the cuSng plane •  Part or parts cut away are shown by the use of sec?on (crosshatching) lines. •  Types Full Sec?on !  Half Sec?on !  Revolved Sec?on !  Removed Sec?on !
Full Sec?on •  Full cutaway that shows the interior construc?on or hidden features of an object not shown by an exterior view Full Sec?on Half Sec?on •  Cut plane extends only halfway across the object •  Half of the object’s exterior is visible Half Sec?on Half Sec?on Some Where Between Half and Whole Sec?on Cutaway Drawing •  Similar to a Half Sec?on but only part of the object is “cutaway” •  “Cutaway Drawing” some?mes used to mean Full or Half Sec?on Cutaway Drawing Revolved Sec?on •  Shows the shape of a cross sec?on of a part Revolved Sec?on Revolved Sec?on Removed Sec?on •  Illustrates par?cular parts of an object •  Like a revolved sec?on, except details are placed to one side of main object •  Sec?ons are o&en larger scale to show more detail Removed Sec?on Removed Sec?on Exploded-­‐View •  A diagram that shows the rela?onship or order of assembly of various parts •  O&en used in illustrated parts manuals Exploded-­‐View Exploded view of a hydraulic restrictor.

Installa?on Diagram •  Iden?fies each of the components in the systems and shows their loca?on in the aircra& Installa?on Diagram Schema?c Diagrams •  Locate components with respect to each other within the system •  Doesn’t indicate the loca?on of individual components in the aircra& •  Used in troubleshoo5ng Schema?c Diagrams Notice: Details on flow
direction but not exact
pressures
Block Diagrams •  Shows a simplified rela?onship of a more complex system of components •  Individual components are drawn as a rectangle (block) with lines connec?ng it to other components •  Shows component interfaces and how they operate Block Diagrams Wiring Diagrams •  Shows the electrical wiring and circuitry •  O&en shows the wire size and type •  Coded for iden?fica?on Wiring Diagrams Flowcharts •  Troubleshoo?ng Flowcharts -­‐ frequently used for the detec?on of faulty components !
A logical solu?on to a par?cular problem •  Logic Flowchart -­‐ Standardized symbols to indicate specific types of logic gates and their rela?onship to other digital devices in a system Troubleshoo?ng Flowchart Logic Flowchart Pictorial Diagram •  Pictorial diagrams show the components as they actually appear, rather than using conven?onal symbols Pictorial Diagram Figure 5-­‐12. Pictorial diagram of a light airplane electrical system.
Perspec?ve Drawings •  Shows an object as it appears to an observer •  It most closely resembles the way an object would look in a photograph •  Because of perspec?ve, some of the lines of an object are not parallel and therefore the actual angles and dimensions are not accurate Perspec?ve Drawings In a perspec?ve view, parallel lines converge at a vanishing point off the drawing.
Isometric Drawings •  A combina?on of the views of an orthographic projec?on (2D view) and ?lts the object forward so that por?ons of all three views can be seen in one view •  Provides the observer with a three-­‐dimensional view of the object •  Lines in an isometric drawing are parallel and dimensioned as they are in an orthographic projec?on Isometric Drawings Three surfaces of an isometric view are visible, and all lines in this drawing are true length except A and B.
Orthographic Projec?on Drawings •  Most drawing are a 2-­‐D view of an object •  A single view of an object may not convey enough informa?on !
Mul?ple views are provided Orthographic Projec?on Drawings Orthographic Projec?on Drawings Orthographic Projec?on Drawings Orthographic Projec?on Drawings •  Possible views Total of six !  Front !  Top !  BoQom !  Rear !  Right side !  Le& side !

Drawing Sizes A-­‐size: 8 1/2” X 11” B-­‐size: 11” X 17” C-­‐size: 17” X 22” D-­‐size: 22” X 34” E-­‐size: 34” X 44” Revision Block •  Revisions to a drawing are necessitated by changes in: Dimension !  Design !  Material !  Sub-­‐parts !  Product update !
•  Changes are usually listed in a ruled columns either adjacent to the ?tle bock or at one corner of the drawing •  All changes must be approved and noted Revision Block Revision Block Revision Block Notes •  Notes are added to drawings to convey informa?on that is not shown in the drawing •  Notes maybe in a special sec?on of drawing !
Some?mes called a note block •  Notes maybe scaQered throughout the drawing !
Usually next to the item that needs clarifica?on Notes Notes Zone Numbers •  Zone numbers on drawings are similar to the numbers and leQers printed on the borders of a map •  Locates a par?cular point •  Draw horizontal and ver?cal lines from the leQers and numerals specified; the point where these lines intersect is the area sought Zone Numbers Sta?on Numbers and Loca?on Iden?fica?on •  Fuselage Sta?ons – numbered in inches from a reference or zero point know as the reference datum. (length wise) •  BuQock Line (buQ line) – width measurement le& or right of, and parallel to, the ver?cal center line. (width wise) •  Water Line – the measurement of height in inches perpendicular from a horizontal plane located at fixed number of inches below the boQom of the aircra& fuselage (high wise) Sta?on Numbers and Loca?on Iden?fica?on Sta?on Numbers and Loca?on Iden?fica?on Allowance and Tolerances •  The more precise a part is made, the more expensive it is An engineer will give a manufacturer a range of measurements that are acceptable for a part to reduce costs !  This is called varia?on !  The wider the varia?on the lower the part cost !
Allowance and Tolerances •  Parts are assigned a varia?on Next to the dimension !  Default for a drawing !
•  In the notes •  In the ?tle block •  An object is given a base dimension plus a varia?on !
The varia?on is called the tolerance Allowance and Tolerances •  Tolerance !
Plus allowance – indicated by a “+” •  How much greater than the base dimension !
Minus allowance – indicated by a “-­‐” •  How much less than the base dimension Tolerance is the total of the plus and minus allowance !  e.g. 0.250 ± 0.010 !
•  Base is 0.250 •  Plus allowance is 0.010 •  Minus allowance is 0.010 •  Tolerance is 0.010 + 0.010 = 0.020 •  Range from 0.240 to 0.260 Allowance and Tolerances •  Tolerance !
e.g. 0.250 + 0.010 – 0.005 •  Plus and minus variance don’t have to be the same •  Range from 0.245 to 0.260 •  Tolerance is 0.010 + 0.005 = 0.015 !
e.g. 0.250 + 0.010 – 0.000 •  Range from 0.250 to 0.260 •  Tolerance is 0.010 + 0.000 = 0.010 !
e.g. 0.250 + 0.010 •  Range from 0.250 to 0.260 •  Tolerance is 0.010 + 0.000 = 0.010 Finish Marks •  Finish Marks indicate how the surface must be machine finished •  Each part must have a (machining) finish Rough (cheaper to make or beQer oil coverage) !  Smooth !  Close fit !  Flat (beQer seal) !
•  Final coa?ng (different than machining finish) Paint !  Pla?ng !  Nothing !
Only use Dimensions •  When measuring an object, use only the listed dimensions •  Never measure off a drawing Assume the drawing is a communica?on tool, not an exact image of the object !  Drawings can change size when they are reproduced !
Drawing Scale •  It is imprac?cal to make a single drawing that is the same size as a plane •  Drawings are made to scale !
e.g. ½” = 1’ – every ½ inch on the drawing represent 1 foot on an airplane •  The drawing scale is usually include in the Title Block Charts •  A “drawing” of informa?on in the form of a table, graph, or diagram •  Where to find informa?on: Horizontal axis (x-­‐axis) !  Ver?cal axis (y-­‐axis) !  Chart’s lines or bars !
Charts •  How to find the informa?on: 1.  Determine the informa?on you know 2.  Determine the informa?on to find 3.  Locate the known informa?on on the x-­‐axis, y-­‐axis or chart lines 4.  Draw lines connec?ng the informa?on you know 5.  Find the intersec?on of the lines 6.  Draw a line to the x-­‐axis, y-­‐axis or chart line to find the informa?on you are looking for Problem •  The proper tension for a 3/l6-­‐inch extra-­‐flexible (7 x 19) control cable rigged at 87°F is pounds. •  Known informa?on: 3/l6-­‐inch extra-­‐flexible (7 x 19) control cable !  87°F !
