: Includes engine thrust, torque, gyroscopic moments, and vibrations. Structural Layout and Components

In aerospace engineering, the design of an airframe is a two-stage process: determining the and establishing the structural layout and sizing of primary members. This process ensures the aircraft can withstand various stresses while remaining as lightweight as possible for aerodynamic efficiency.

: Caused by acceleration or rotation of the aircraft's mass. : Includes engine thrust, torque, gyroscopic moments, and

: For aircraft with pressurized cabins, the skin must resist the internal pressure differential to prevent collapse or fatigue. : Includes engine thrust

Before structural analysis begins, all external and internal loads must be identified. These loads are generally categorized by the aircraft's operating phase:
