Force [3]. Currently, the effort is generally focused on the design and production of electric aircraft.The aerospace industry has started developing standards to support electric propulsion. Asampling of standards includes those related to specifications [4], electrical systems [5],architecture [6], and light sport aircraft (LSA) batteries [7]. However, once the aircraft iscertified, sold, and entered into service, there is another significant amount of effort to supportthe electric propulsion motors. Repair processes must be developed and engineers andtechnicians must be trained. Aircraft are maintained by FAA-certified aircraft mechanics withA&P certificates. Currently, regulations do not include electric propulsion in the

The course's primary objective is todevelop skills in the analysis and calculation of isostatic structures, with an emphasis onapplying fundamental principles of material strength, mechanical equilibrium of rigid bodies,and calculation of internal forces in structural members. Upon completion of the course,students are expected to: 1. Apply the fundamentals of material strength to structural elements. 2. Use equilibrium equations for solids subjected to external forces. 3
