Abstract
The A321neo ACF (Airbus Cabin Flex configuration) contains newly designed Overwing Doors (OWD) that provide an automatic opening function for the case of evacuation. Due to the significant structural differences between the previous “hatch” design used on A319 and A320 aircraft and the new OWD design it has been decided to test the OWD’s and the surrounding fuselage structure to demonstrate the Fatigue and Damage Tolerance capabilities of the structure.
This paper provides an insight into the studies performed to define an appropriate test set-up, to adapt the serial fuselage shell to the test boundary conditions and to define an appropriate loading program.
