Rotorcraft Structures Workshop

The Rotorcraft Structures Workshop is a forum to discuss rotorcraft (CS-27, CS-29, CS-VLR) structures topics between the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), National Competent Authorities (NCAs), and applicants for type certificates (CTs) and supplemental type certificates (STCs).

Structural requirements along with the related acceptable means of compliance AMC, as well as EASA policies and the Certification Memorandum related to Materials, Fatigue and Damage Tolerance and Vibration will be presented. Other major structural topics, including the impact on structures from external and internal installations, hybrid bearings, CIVP, crashworthy fuel tanks, bird strike, and the rulemaking progress, will also be addressed.
