I have seen a lot of posts about aircraft design and different things about steel tube fuselages, but I am looking for specific information on designing a fuselage for a particular airplane.
I have decided to change my Corsair design to be built as a steel tube fuselage with composite skins. Maybe a steel main spar as well.
I am a composite guy, and I don't know anything about steel tube design. Is there a book or program that will spoon feed a math idiot through the design process?
I know where I need to attach the spar, engine mount, tail structures, and tail wheel. I just don't know where to go from there.
Help, please!
