Gulfstream G650 Wing Analysis

As a group we were tasked with creating a finite element model of the wing from the Gulfstream G650 to run a divergence test on the wing to find the safe range of operations in flight for the aircraft. The model was created in NASTRAN and a convergence study was run on the number of elements in relation to the safe cruising speed to ensure the most accurate results while keeping processing time down. The full report can be read here with highlights found below.
