Modelado y recreación con Catia v.5 del AVRO MK IV triplano de 1910

Abstract

El trabajo que a continuación se presenta, consiste en el modelado y recreación con el software Catia V5 R21 del Avro MK IV, un avión triplano británico de 1910. En primer lugar, se ha realizado una contextualización histórica, para comprender como era el mundo, a nivel político, social y tecnológico en el momento que este avión se construyó, haciendo hincapié en el estado de la incipiente industria aeronáutica de la época. El grueso del trabajo consiste en el desarrollo del diseño de las distintas partes del avión y en como estas están ensambladas, llevando esto al modelo final del avión con todas sus partes unidas en un mismo cuerpo. Por último, se ha trabajado en la recreación de los mecanismos de control de vuelo que completan el modelo del avión pudiendo recrear el movimiento las superficies de control, mediante el manejo de los mandos de vuelo.

The work that follows is about modeling the Avro MK IV, a British triplane aircraft which was first made in 1910. Thanks to the software Catia V5 R21, this recreation has been possible. In first place, an historical research has been carried out to understand how the world was by that time. This study has been focused on political, social and technological aspects in order to be able to understand why this airplane was built. Nevertheless, it is necessary to emphasize the state of the incipient aeronautical industry. The main object of this work is to recreate the progress of design of the different parts which conform the aircraft. After every piece has been created, it will be interesting to understand how they are assembled and how they fit as a whole to give room to the Avro MK IV. At the end, the completed airplane will be shown, with all the parts joined in the same body. Finally, there is a section about the recreation of the flight control mechanisms. In this way, every movement of the control surfaces has been reproduced with the most accuracy as it is possible, by means of the handling of the flight controls in cockpit.
