A Brief Bibliometric Survey on Analysis of Wing Spar

Background: Study aims to work on the evolution of wing spar in aircraft between 2009 and 2023 using Bibliometric method. Methods: Scopus database was utilized to identify documents related to the keywords “Aircraft,” “Wing,” “Spars,” and “Analysis” from the period of 2009 to 2023. Statistical Analysis was conducted to analyze different types of documents, categorized by source, country, and author. Additionally, the Network analysis was performed using VOS Viewer to explore various aspects such as Co-occurrence, Citation analysis, and Co-authorship. Results: The analysis consists of a total of 345 documents from Scopus containing the specified keywords, covering the time span from 2009 onwards. Within the Engineering domain, approximately 55.2% of the articles were published and United States has the highest contribution in the documents. Conclusion: The statistical analysis reveals the highest document count in 2018 and 2019 for English language, while network analysis emphasizes “Wings” as a crucial keyword in advancing the aerospace industry. Material selection, structural optimisation, fatigue life prediction, and failure analysis were among the topics explored in the investigations. More research into the creation of lightweight and high-strength wing designs helps to improve aircraft performance, safety, and efficiency.
