May 2022 - Aug 2022
-Identified structurally critical parts on 777-200F frames, populated them into 777-8F CATIA frame assemblies, and manipulated them to the appropriate positions on the 777-8F aircraft CATIA model. -Investigated stringer splice fittings (geometry data, material information, and flag notes) for 777 legacy model light joins to develop design criteria for gap management in 777-8F and future models. -Compared the configurations of A380 and 777-9 pivot-to-pivot spar splice for the horizontal stabilizer.
