Load and stress analysis of POD part on LSA (LAPAN surveillance aircraft)

LSA (LAPAN Surveillance Aircraft) is the aircraft which be used for doing the surveillance mission especially with the requirement of high endurance, long-distance, and high altitude. LSA (LAPAN Surveillance Aircraft) as an aircraft consists of several general whole parts as, fuselage which fit for two passengers include the pilot, inner wing, outer wing, main landing gear, and propeller. Payload; can be a camera, sensor, antenna, or transmitter; is the key to a surveillance mission. There is a part that has an important role related to the surveillance mission on LSA (LAPAN Surveillance Aircraft) and payload system. That part named POD part occupied on inner wing LSA (LAPAN Surveillance Aircraft). The structural analysis needed to assure and guaranteed LSA (LAPAN Surveillance Aircraft) can borrow such payload while doing surveillance missions. Stress analysis by 3D model on POD and threaded bar has given such stress contribution value with FEM as processing structural analysis. On the POD part, the maximum principal value to be considered at 112 MPa while operation, and on the threaded bar, the maximum principal value to be considered at 288 MPa.
