290: Rudder Spider

Linear static stress analysis with non linear surface contact of a rudder spider design. 3 design iterations were analysed in total, with each iteration analysed with the rudder in two different positions. The high stresses which were well above the allowables on the initial design, were eradicated by the final design due to the recommendations provided.
