Design and Analysis on Aerodynamics, Structural Integrity, and Vibrational Behavior of Boeing 747 Wing Structure Using CATIA and ANSYS

This research details the comprehensive design and multi-disciplinary analysis of a Boeing-like aircraft wing, constructed with realistic geometry using CATIA to replicate commercial standards and tapering effects. Aerodynamic characteristics were assessed via CFD simulations to evaluate lift, drag, and stall thresholds across varying angles of attack, establishing optimal operating conditions. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in ANSYS compared structural performance of Carbon, Aluminum, Glass E, Glass S, and Kevlar under identical constraints, focusing on deformation, stress, and strain metrics. Kevlar and Carbon fiber demonstrated superior stiffness and lightweight properties. Modal analysis revealed higher natural frequencies, especially in Kevlar, resulting in improved resonance resistance and dynamic stability. The integration of CATIA and ANSYS provided a robust framework for optimizing the Boeing 747 wing’s aerodynamic efficiency, structural fidelity, and vibration control.
