Rudder Main Structure.3. Description
All components of the rudder main structure are made of laminations of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP). Hi-Lok fasteners connect them, but not the trailing edge. The side shells are installed to the front spar. In the area of the rudder attach fittings the side shells have cut-outs for clearance. Two rows of fasteners connect the side shells at the trailing edge. The inner row has threaded inserts and countersunk screws, the outer row has shear head rivets. Three hoisting points are bonded into each side shell.
All components of the rudder main structure are made of laminations of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP). Hi-Lok fasteners connect them, but not the trailing edge. The side shells are installed to the front spar. An access panel, installed in the left side shell, gives access to the No. 7 rudder attach fittings. The access panel is attached with countersunk screws. At the other locations, cutouts in the side shells give access to the adjacent attach fittings. Two rows of fasteners connect the side shells at the trailing edge. The inner row has threaded inserts and countersunk screws, the outer row has shear head rivets. Three hoisting points are bonded into each side shell.
