Abstract

Nowadays more and more ultralight aircraft are being built because the building process itself and the acquisition of the necessary documentation is relatively easy. Furthermore, these planes are easier to fly than larger types of aircraft. This article presents the engineering work and documentation that is necessary for the building process. The calculations can be done traditionally on paper which is an extremely complex task. With the innovations and developments in the technical field though, it is possible now to simplify these calculations, the basis of which is the finite element method and aerodynamics simulations. If the finite element method is adequate, the boundary conditions are ideal and input-output settings for the simulations are correct, it is possible to compare the traditional calculations to the modern simulated engineering work, thus the time necessary for achieving precise results becomes significantly shorter.
