    Aérospatiale Alouette III/HAL Chetak

    1. Fuselage
    Chetak helicopter utilizes the semi-monocoque design,
    where outer skin bears the significant amount of load
    supported by an internal framework of longerons, stringers,
    bulkhead and frames.
    2. Stringers
    It runs longitudinally along the length of the fuselage
    attached to the inner surface of the skin and placed
    between the bulkheads and frames. It helps to provide Fig: Fuselage
    additional strength and stiffness to the fuselage skin
    which prevents buckling. The number of stringers can
    vary but approximately it contains 10-20 stringers running
    along the length of the fuselage.
    3. Longerons
    It is the primary structural member that run the length
    of the fuselage positioned at the top, bottoms and sides
    of the fuselage. It provides main structural support for
    the fuselage and provides connecting keys for other
    components. It also helps in distributing concentrated loads
    from other components, across the structure. There are Fig: Frames, Stringers, Longerons
    typically 4 to 8 longerons placed to ensure structural integrity.
    4. Bulkhead
    It is the transverse structural element that divides the
    fuselage into tail section and provides support for the
    attachment points for other components. It helps to maintain
    the aerodynamic cross section of the fuselage thus provides
    structural integrity. It has major 4 to 6 major bulkheads
    separating engine compartment from the cabin.
    5. Frames
    It is similar to the bulkheads. It provides additional transverse
    support and helps to maintain the shape of the fuselage. It
    Fig: Bulkhead
    works in conjunction with the stringers and longerons. There
    are 12 to 14 frames present on helicopter.

    The integration of the different components ensures the


    structural integrity of the helicopter which can withstand various
    stresses encountered during flight, such as aerodynamics forces,
    vibrations, and landing impacts. The combination of the elements
    provides robust and lightweight structure for the helicopter’s
    performance and versatility.
