Objective:
- To design and assemble each and every component of the Boeing 747
- To acquire knowledge about part design and surface design
- To understand the flow of process in designing a plane surface
- To render photo-realistic images of the Boeing 747
Introduction
The Boeing Company is an American multinational corporation that designs, manufactures, and sells airplanes, rotorcraft, rockets, satellites, telecommunications equipment, and missiles worldwide. The Boeing 747 is a large, long-range wide-body airliner designed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes in the United States between 1968 and 2023. The 747 is a four-engined jet aircraft, initially powered by Pratt & Whitney JT9D turbofan engines, then General Electric CF6 and Rolls-Royce RB211 engines for the original variants. With a ten-abreast economy seating, it typically accommodates 366 passengers in three travel classes
Design methodology
Features And Tools Used In The Design Process:
Solid modelling:
1) Boss Extrude
• Boss extrude is the most basic and important function in solidworks used to create a solid from a sketch
• It transforms the 2d sketch into a 3d object
Figure 1.1 Fully defined 2d sketch
Figure 1.2 Boss Extrude feature been aplied
Figure 1.3 3d geomerty created from Boss Extrude
2) Cut Extrude
• Cut extrude is used to remove material from a solid or a surface
• It requires a sketch and a geometry which has to be cut
Figure 1.4 3d geomerty to be cut
Figure 1.5 Cut Extrude feature been applied
Figure 1.6 Resulting geometry from cut extrude
3) Revolve
• Revolve is used to create solid/surface by revolving a sketch around a given axis
• Based on the selection of axis the revolve shape will also change
Figure 1.7 Fully defined 2d sketch
Figure 1.8 Revolve Boss/Base feature been applied
Figure 1.9 3d geomerty created from Revolve Boss/Base
4) Fillet
• Fillet feature is used to round off sharp edges od a 3d model and given it a more cleaner look
• The most commpnly used fillet options are constant size fillet and the full round fillet
Figure 1.10 model before applying fillet
Figure 1.11 Applying fillet tto the model
Figure 1.12 Resulting geomertry from fillet
5) Shell
• Shell command is used to make a 3d object hollow by reomving the inner geometry while maintainig a wall thickness as desired by the user
Figure 1.13 Before aplying shell feature
Figure 1.14 After aplying shell feature
6) Projected Curve
• Projected curves creates a 3d curve based on two 2d skethes provided by the user
Figure 1.15 Example of projected curve
7) Mirror
• The mirror option helps duplicate a feature or a body based on a plane or a fcae slected by the user
• The user can create only half of the required geometry and the mirror it to get the required result

Figure 1.17 After apllying mirror
Surface modelling:
1) Surface Extrude
• Surface extrude is used to create a 3d surface from a 2d sketch(both open and closed sketches)
Figure 2.1 Fully defined 2d sketch
Figure 2.2 Surface Extrude feature been applied
Figure 2.3 3d geomerty created from Surface Extrude
2) Surface Loft
• Surface loft is used to create a 3d sketch with the help of two or more profiles(either 2d or 3d)
• Guide curves can also be used to alter the shape of the loft and make it more defined
Figure 2.4 Surface loft feature been applied
Figure 2.5 3d geomerty created from Surface loft
3) Surface sweep
• Surface sweep is used to create a 3d sketch with the help of a profile and a path
• Guide curves can also be used to alter the shape of the sweep and make it more defined
Figure 2.6 Surface sweep feature been applied
Figure 2.7 3d geomerty created from Surface sweep
4) Surface trim
• Suface trim is used to trim a section of a surafce with the help of another surface or a sketch
Figure 2.8 Surface trim feature been aplied
Figure 2.9 After applying Surface trim
5) Surface fill
• Surface fill is used to fill a closed boundary either with the help of sketches or surfaces
Figure 2.10 Surface fill feature been aplied
Figure 2.11 3d geomerty created from Surface fill
6) Knit surface
• Knit surface feature helps to knit the gaps exixting between the merging surfaces.
• If the surface is properly knitted then the edges will turn from blue to black as shown below
Figure 2.12 Knit surface feature been aplied
Figure 2.13 After applying Knit surafce
7) Offset surface
• Offset surface basically offsets an already existing surface to a distance required by the user
Figure 2.14 Offset surface feature been aplied
Figure 2.15 After applying offset surface
8) Thicken
• Thicken feature creates a thickened solid from an existing surface
Figure 2.16 Before apllying thicken

Assembly And Render Of Boeing 747
After all the componets have been designed individually in solidwoks, they are all brought together and assembled in solidworks to create the final assembly of the Boeing 747 . Since most of the components were designed in reference to the main blueprin they did not require any position change and hence when inserted into the assembly file they were correclty fixed in the required position .Few components required positioning which involved the use few different types of mates. The mates which were used are:
• Coincident mate
• Concentric mate
• Distance mate

Conclusion:
The components of the Boeing 747 were designed using solid and surface modelling techniques and finally the assembly of the Boeing 747 was done. The renders of the Boeing 747 were done in solidworks to give us a glance of how the it would look in real life.
