Modelling Boeing 747 Using SolidWorks

What will you do in this project?

In this project, you will design Boeing 747-8 Aircraft model using Solidworks. You will do the following in this project,

You will be dealing with the arrangement of the front, top, and side views of aircraft blueprints with respect to the front, top, and right planes.
Modeling the fuselage main body using surface loft command. Later you will use Part modeling tools to design belly fairing and pitot tubes
You will be also working on more details likes passenger window, Nose Cone, Windshield Wiper, etc.over the main body.
You will be creating a vertical and Horizontal stabilizer using a lofted Bose/base tool. Landing gear hatches open/close are also done on later stages.
Later you will work on Part Modelling and Assembly of Nose Gear and Main Gear along with Engine modeling.
At the final stages, you will be adding livery and complete the model by assembling all the parts and sub-assemblies.

Benefits of this Project

In this project, you will learn how to model a Boeing 747-8 in SOLIDWORKS. Here you will learn part, surface and assembly workbenches of Solidworks from scratch. At the end of this project you will gain hands-on experience in modeling a complex design like that of the Boeing 747-8 and will get an overall idea on how the design software works.

The project is a beginner and intermediate level project

This project is great for undergraduate students, M.Tech or MS students.
If you are a working professional, this project will be helpful to learn surface workbench and other workbenches of Solidworks.
You will learn to design complex shapes using surface and part tools.
You will learn sketcher, part, surface and assembly workbench.

Pre-requisites

Must be familiar with Engineering drawing subjects.
Having a basic knowledge of Solidworks or other design software will help in completing the project in a fast phase.
