FUSELAGE
1. General
The DA 42 NG fuselage has a semi-monocoque structure. Two CFRP half-shells make the fuselage
skin. GFRP frames and webs give the fuselage strength and stiffness. The vertical stabilizer is an
integral part of the fuselage.
The fuselage shells have many layers of carbon cloth with some layers of glass cloth. Some areas
have more layers of cloth than other areas. This gives more strength and stiffness where it is needed.
Rigid foam inserts give stiffness where necessary.
The frames and webs also have many layers of glass cloth. Some areas have layers of carbon fiber
cloth or tape to give extra strength. Some components also have rigid inserts of GFRP for attaching
brackets or other components.
In order to protect the fuselage from damages caused by ice accumulation which drops off from the
rotating propellers, debris protection is installed on the fuselage. The debris protection is made from
composite material (OÄM 42-090) or adhesive foil (OÄM 42-088 and OÄM 42-089).
Section 53-10 gives the data for the fuselage structure and the debris protection.
