Construção do protótipo da ferramenta especial para montagem e desmontagem dos cubos de roda da aeronave C295 CASA.

Abstract

This research aims to create a special tool to assist in the assembly and disassembly of the wheel hubs of the C295 aircraft Aiming at an increase in productivity and a reduction in the time used for safe and objective maintenance. When it comes to the mechanics of cargo and troop transport aircraft, specifically, there is a whole sequence of factors that directly influence the availability of the aircraft. This can affect existing demands, such as transportation of supplies to more distant locations, the cause of an aeronautical accident, failure to carry out an aeromedical evacuation (EVAM) or transport of organs, causing the worsening of medical situations, which may lead to the loss of the patient. Given this, this study was carried out with a qualitative and quantitative approach, based on bibliographical and documentary research, nothing the need for safer and faster preventive and/or corrective maintenance. For this, technical manuals were also used, respecting the foreseen limits, avoiding damage and loss of aeronautical materials, contributing to the State’s economy. Upon completion of the research, it is found that the use of the special tool allows for safety and, in a positive way, increases the availability of the C295 aircraft.
