DESIGN APPROACH:

As part of the design process, there are two types of approaches. 1. Bottom-up approach and 2. Top-down approach. Here, we have used the bottom-up approach, and we get a clear picture by defining these terms.

Bottom-up Approach: In this design approach, the most primary operations are specified first, then they are combined later to make larger progressive units.

Top-Down Approach: This approach is an Assembly-centric modeling method in which an assembly design is done at the highest level possible, and individual parts and subassemblies are defined within the context of the overall assembly.

To design different parts, we used the following features and Properties:

Extrude boss
Fillet
Revolve boss feature
Extrude cut
Shell
Linear pattern
Mirror
Reference geometry
Projected curve
Knit
Mate

Extruded Boss:

Extrude boss is the most basic feature of SOLIDWORKS. It requires a complete sketch to convert a 2D sketch into a solid body. After you exit a fully defined sketch you see the boss extrude option and a property manager window opens. Using the property manager, we can see from where the feature begins and ends that we need to add dimensions to it. It creates a completely solid body of any shape with closed entities. In this feature, we can add dimensions to both the direction (direction 1 and direction 2) and the size.

Fillet:

When a solid part is drawn, it will be having some sharp edges to give roundness to these edges we add fillets. It will make the sharp edges or corners a round shape having different sizes and radii. The material can be added or can be removed according to the conditions whether the edges are internal or external. fillets are used in solid bodies to hide corners and edges also giving a nice appearance to the part. Various types of fillets are used depending upon the part.

Revolve boss feature:

This feature works by selecting the axis of a sketch adding a round material by revolving around the selected axis. We can select an edge of a sketch if there is no axis.

Extrude cut:

This feature allows you to remove unnecessary parts from the geometry or to give the desired shape to a sketch or solid part by sketching the solid part and then using this feature to get rid of that part.

Shell:

There is a very handy tool in SolidWorks that allows you to see what the inside geometry of a part will look like. In this tool, we add a thickness to the inside geometry and remove the material from the body so that the part appears hollow.

Linear pattern:

The linear pattern is a feature used to create a single sketch that can be used multiple times. The spacing, angles, and paths of this feature are given so that it can be used to draw or create a pattern This feature is spaced uniformly along one or two linear paths

Mirror:

As this feature makes a copy of a solid part, it requires a plane or axis to mirror the part. Select the body to be mirrored, then choose an axis or plane, and then apply the feature. Multibody parts: Apply the feature to one or more multibody parts by selecting geometry patterns and using feature scope to select which bodies the feature should be applied to.

Reference Geometry:

Surfaces and solids are defined by their shape or form. This includes planes, axes, coordinate systems, and points, which can be used in a sketch.

Use of Reference Geometry:

Axis: If we want to pattern something and the axis is not available, then we can use the reference geometry axis to make it easier to do so.

Plane: A reference geometry plane can be used to represent a plane when sketching and the sketch needs to be completed using a plane.

Projected Curve:

The curve can be projected by a sketch into a model to create a 3D curve We can create several closed or open contour projected curves from a single sketch Generally, the curve is the intersection of two extruding surfaces The curve which is created can be used as a path for the sketch of the part. Note: It does not create the curve of intersecting curves.

Knit:

Utilization of knit surface tools to combine two or more faces and surfaces into one. It creates a solid body when the knit surfaces form a closed volume or remain as surface bodies.

Mate:

Mates define a geometric relationship between assembly and component. When we add mates, they define the possible direction of linear or rotational motion for a component within its degree of freedom.

This feature includes:

Coincident mate: Helps in making two planar faces to become coplanar which can be moved along one another but cannot be separated
Concentric mate: Helps in making two circular faces concentric which can only be moved in the common axis
Tangent: Helps in making a tangent mate between a face and plane
Angular mate: Helps in making an angular relationship between a flat surface and the surface having some angle

Now let us see the above application of the features in the Boeing 747 that we have built which is discussed part by part

1. Blueprint

A blueprint is a two-dimensional series of drawings that shows how an architect envisions a project to look. Blueprints usually detail a structure's measurements, construction materials, and the precise positioning of all of its components.

When engineering designs were printed on blue paper with white lines in the mid-nineteenth century, the term "blueprint" was coined. Physical blueprints are seldom blue in the current building sector. Blueprints include construction drawings, construction plans, and working drawings.

Scaling the picture to 1:1, by setting up the length of the aircraft to 76.3 meters long
Give transparency by clicking on the full image at the transparency section setting the value to .75
Click on ok and rename to BP. SIDE

The above procedure is followed to set the blueprint of the Boeing 747 in top and front planes naming these sketch pictures as BP.TOP and BP. FRONT

2. Fuselage

A fuselage is a structural structure that is designed to accommodate the engine, fuel, people, baggage, and mission-related equipment, but not usually at the same time. Thin sheets of material are strengthened by a large number of longitudinal stringers and transverse frames in aircraft fuselages. They often transport bending moments, shear pressures, and torsional loads, which cause axial and shear stresses in the stringers and skin, respectively; the stringers' resistance to shear forces is frequently overlooked.

Cockpit windows, Windshield wipers & Passenger windows

Cockpit windows

The cockpit is the part of the aircraft that offers visibility to the front and sides and houses the pilot(s) and other crew members A sun shield may be installed in the cockpit windows. When the plane is on the ground, most cockpits include windows that can be opened. Anti-reflective coatings are applied to nearly all glass panes in big airplanes, and an internal heating element is used to melt ice.

Passenger windows

An airplane's windows are divided into three sections: inner, middle, and outside. The outside pane absorbs the pressure, the middle works as a fail-safe, and the inner pane is only there to protect the other two from passengers. The hole also allows moisture to escape from the gaps, preventing fogging or freezing of the windows.

Flaps and Ailerons

Flaps

A flap is a high-lift device that reduces an aircraft wing's stalling speed at a given weight. Flaps are often attached to the trailing edges of a fixed-wing aircraft's wings. Flaps are used to shorten the distance between take-off and landing.

Ailerons

The pilot controls the aileron, which is a moveable component of an airplane wing that allows him to roll the plane about its longitudinal axis. As a result, ailerons are generally utilized to bank the aircraft for turning.

Rendering:

A rendering is an artistic drawing of what a new structure would look like, and it comes from the graphic design field. A rendering is a specific view of a realistic image in Computer-Aided Design (CAD). We obtain a concept of how the Boeing 747 would look in the landscape by rendering it. SOLIDWORKS Visualize was used to create this rendering. We may add numerous camera views to the model using PHOTO VIEW 360, and we can configure various angles, directions, and appropriate distances to acquire the optimal camera view. We modify the color of Boeing 747 pieces, backdrop pictures, brightness, rotation, and other helicopter settings during rendering. We can gain more detailed visuals of the scene by increasing the resolution and changing the number of passes.
