DA20-C1 AMM
1. General
The DA20-C1 aircraft fuselage is a semi-monocoque structure. Two GFRP half-shells make the
fuselage skin. GFRP frames and webs give strength and stiffness. Each half shell also makes the
vertical stabilizer.
The fuselage shells have many layers of glass cloth. Some areas have more glass cloth than other
areas. This gives more strength and stiffness where it is needed.
The frames and webs also have many layers of glass cloth. Some areas have layers of carbon fiber
cloth to give extra strength. Some components also have inserts for attaching brackets or other
components.
Chapter 53-10 gives the data for the fuselage structure.
