    ABSTRACT

    The ultimatum of this project is the design of a long-range business jet aircraft with the

    desired specifications. This aircraft design project is nothing but designing our own

    imaginative aircraft with some help from Existing available data of similar types of

    aircrafts. This project boosts up the innovative and creative part of the mind. During the

    design process, the Existing theoretical formulae, concepts, basics are scrutinized to aid

    in the design process, thus developing ones mind and a better understanding capacity.

    This design process also helps in developing the potential in ourselves. This project is just

    a basic design with the use of basic formulae. However, designs based on these formulae

    have been found to comply to the desired specifications with minimal variations. This

    design process includes some of the basic estimations like weight, wing parameters and

    airfoil, critical performance parameters and the powerplant and finally the three-view

    diagram of the aircraft for which the design is being proposed.

    INTRODUCTION TO AIRPLANE DESIGN

    Airplane design is both an art and a science. We can see by the name itself, airplane

    design involves Experience and practice rather than just a book. However, theory and

    Experimentation are interconnected, so we ought to go through the available books on

    design before starting a detailed design procedure. Airplane design is the intellectual

    process of creating on paper or on a computer screen a flying machine to meet certain

    specifications and requirements established by us, the designers or the concerned person

    or the firm for whom we are designing the aircraft. Airplane design is said to have started

    from the ages of Leonardo Da Vinci, Sir George Cayley, Otto Lilienthal, Alexander

    Mozhaiski, Felix Du Temple, Langley and the Wright brothers. In Indian Mythology, the

    demon king Ravan was believed to be fond of science. He is said to have designed an

    aircraft called the Pushpak Vaaghan that he used to abduct Sita, the wife of lord Ram, the

    prince of Ayodhya. The design process is thus a process that does not stop. Even though,

    many modern configuration aircrafts Exist today and yet more are to come, the design

    process will never stop until the human desires of 100% efficiency, comfort, convenience

    and luxury are met.

    EX. No. 1 THE DESIGN PROCESS 04:01:11

    Aim

    To make a brief study of the airplane designing process to aid in the designing of long

    range business jet aircraft.

    Introduction

    Those involved in design can never quite agree as to just where the design process

    begins. The designer thinks that it starts with a new airplane concept. The sizing

    specialist knows that nothing can begin until an initial estimate of weight is made. The

    customer feels that the design begins with requirements. They all are correct. The design

    process is actually an iterative process.

    Starting a design process

    The start of the design process requires the identification of need. It is essential to

    understand at the start of the study where the project originated and to recognize what

    External factors are influential to the design before the design process is started. The

    design process never ends as the designers continuously provide many modifications to

    the aircraft to improve its safety and performance, services and any repairs, maintenance

    instructions etc that are necessary to keep the aircraft in an airworthy condition.

    Many airplanes never make it beyond the initial or preliminary design phase. In fact most

    dont. What happens beyond the preliminary design phase depends largely on the results

    obtained during the preliminary design and on the real or perceived market interest

    afterwards.

    If, because of the preliminary design studies a specific need can be met, then the full-

    scale development of the aircraft can follow. If, because of the preliminary design phase

    certain problem areas are discovered and then a research and development program can

  • 7/27/2019 Aircraft Design Project i

    11/74

    11

    be initiated aimed at overcoming these problems. Eventually, with the problems solved

    which then can lead to a full-scale development.

    Phases of airplane design

    The complete design process involves three distinct phases that are carried out in

    sequence. The phases are,

    Conceptual Design Preliminary Design Detail Design

    Conceptual Design

    Usually, the design process starts with a set of preliminary requirements or specifications

    for the new airplane or with the desire to introduce some innovative ideas and

    technology. In this the overall shape, weight size and performance of the new design are

    determined. The result of conceptual design is the layout on a sheet of paper or on the

    computer screen of the airplane configuration. However, these drawings have to be

    visualized as flexible lines as they are prone to modifications during the second phase of

    the design process. It gives out some data like the wing and tail dimensions, position and

    type of the engine etc. During the conceptual design phase, the designer is influenced by

    qualitative aspects such as the increased structural loads imposed by a high horizontal T-

    tail versus a conventional tail location through the fuselage, and the difficulties associated

    with the cut outs in the wing structure if the landing gears are to retract into the wing

    rather than the fuselage or engine nacelle.

    Preliminary Design

    Minor changes are made to the configuration layout from the conceptual design in thispreliminary design process. It is in this process serious structural and control system

    analysis and design takes place. In addition, during this phase substantial wind tunnel

    testing will be carried out and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) calculations of the

    complete flow over the airplane configuration will be made. These tests will uncover

    some undesirable aerodynamic interference, or some Expected stability problems. At the

  • 7/27/2019 Aircraft Design Project i

    12/74

    12

    end of preliminary design, the airplane configuration is fixed. It will not undergo any

    further modifications. The drawing process called lofting is carried out that

    mathematically models the precise shape of the outer skin of the airplane, making sure

    that all the sections of the aircraft properly fit together. The future of the design rests in

    the result of the preliminary design process whether to commit to the manufacture of the

    airplane or not.

    Detail Design

    The detail design is literally the nuts and bolts phase of the airplane design. The

    aerodynamics, propulsion, structures and flight control analyses all have been finished

    with the preliminary design phase. In this, the airplane is simply a machine waiting to be

    fabricated. The precise design of each individual component like the ribs, spars, section

    of skin etc, takes place. The size, number and location of fasteners are determined.

    Manufacturing tools and jigs are designed. The flight simulators for the aircraft are

    developed. At the end of this phase, the aircraft is ready to be fabricated.

    Requirements

    Where and how to start the design? Clearly, with a list of requirements for the airplane,

    we can start the design process. The requirements might be from the designer himself or

    the customer for whom he is designing the airplane. Like the fingerprints for every

    human being differ, so do the requirements of every new airplane. Frequently stipulated

    aspects of requirements include the following,

    Range Take off distance Stalling velocity Endurance Maximum velocity Rate of climb For combat type of aircraft maximum turn rate and minimum turn radius Maximum load factor Service ceiling Cost Reliability and maintainability Reasonable size

    Weight of the airplane

    For an airplane to get off the ground, it must be able to produce a lift greater than its

    weight. Therefore, the estimation of weight is an important step in the design process. It

    is known to all as the weight of airplane increases, so does the lift required to overcome it

    and consequently the drag of the airplane increases. Therefore, the estimation of weight

    of the airplane is the first step in the design process.

    Critical performance parameters

    It focuses on the estimation of some critical performance parameters like,

    Maximum lift coefficient CLmax Lift to drag ratio L/D (usually at cruise) Wing loading W/S

  • 7/27/2019 Aircraft Design Project i

    14/74

    14

    Thrust to weight ratio T/W

    Configuration layoutThe configuration layout is the drawing of the airplanes shape and size. The critical

    performance parameters along with the initial estimate of weight give enough information

    to approximately size the aircraft and draw the configuration.

    Better weight estimate

    The pivot point at this stage is the improved estimate of weight based on the performance

    parameters. A detailed component weight breakdown based on the configuration layoutand a more detailed estimate of the fuel weight necessary to meet the requirements.

    Performance analysis

    At this pivot point, the design of the aircraft from the previous stage is put through a

    preliminary performance analysis. The configuration is judged whether it can meet all the

    original specifications set forth. This is obviously critical point in conceptual design

    process. An iterative process is initiated wherein the configuration is modified, with the

    Expectation of coming closer to meeting the requirements. The iteration is repeated until

    the resulting airplane meets the requirements.

    Optimization

    After the iteration process, the next question that arises in the designers mind is that Is

    it the best design? This leads to optimization analysis. The optimization is carried out by

    plotting the performance of different airplanes on graphs that provide a sizing matrix or a

    carpet plot from which the optimum design can be found.

    New design

    The following are some basic areas where we should concentrate to

    design a new aircraft

    Aerodynamics Propulsion Light weight structures Controls

    The above areas involve some parameters like

    Size Shape Weight Performance

    Of these parameters, we should use the optimized value for our new design, and it should

    be selected on the basis that it would not affect the other parameters.

    Design aspects

    For passenger aircraft

    High AR wings High wing loading, in order to minimize lift and induced drag for efficient cruise.

    For fighter aircraft

    Low AR wings Low wing loading

    Cruise and maximum speeds Maximum cruise altitude Endurance Range Take off distance at maximum weight Landing distance with 50% of maximum fuel weight Purchase cost Other requirements

    Aircraft purpose

    Our design of aircraft starts with deciding the purpose of the aircraft. There are three

    major purposes for use of aircrafts

    Military aircrafts [fighter & bomber] Passenger aircrafts Cargo aircrafts

    Payload

    The material, which is carried onboard and delivered as a part of the mission, is called the

    payload. There are two types of payloads

    Non-Expendable payloads

    Expendable payloads

    Non-Expendable payloads are Expected to be transported during the complete duration of

    flight plan. E.g. Passengers and cargo.

    At some point in the flight plan, it permanently leaves the aircraft. E.g. bombs, rockets,

    missiles.

    For business jet aircrafts the payload includes the passengers, passenger baggage and

    crew members.

    Cruise and maximum speeds

    The mission of the aircraft is usually determined through the range of speed of the

    aircraft.

    The propeller driven aircrafts are usually designed to cruise at speeds of 150-300 knots.

    The jet-powered aircraft has higher cruise speeds than that of propeller driven aircrafts.

    The speed of jet propelled aircraft is given in terms of mach no. for business and

    Aim

    To do a brief literature study on the existing airplanes and about their merits and

    demerits.

    Introduction

    It is essential to go through some existing data on different types of aircrafts and the

    components used in them and their evolution with time, before starting the design

    process. Literature survey is one such thing. It consists of configuration studies, design

    trades etc. first, a basic understanding of the types of flying machines present is

    necessary. The aircrafts are classified according to their weight, propulsion system, and

    place of use. Lets see the classification of airplane,

    The aim of this project is to design a long-range business jet i.e. having a range of >5000

    km. The maximum speed to be in the range of 800-950 kmph, service ceiling around

    14000 m. since, it is business jet it will be carrying not more than 20 passengers. Most of

    the business jet aircrafts have an average accommodation for 12 passengers.

    Conclusion

    Thus, the brief study on available literature was done and some preliminary factors were

    considered for our aircraft.

    EX No. 5 WEIGHT ESTIMATION 02:02:11

    Aim

    To do a conceptual weight estimation of the aircraft. Its fuel weight, empty weight and

    total weight.

    Introduction

    Design takeoff gross weight is the total weight as the aircraft begins its mission for which

    it was designed. This is not necessarily same as the MTOW or the maximum takeoff

    weight for all aircrafts.

    The design takeoff gross weight can be broken down into crew weight, payload or

    passengers weight, fuel weight and the remaining or empty weight. The empty weight

    includes the structure, engines, landing gear, fixed equipments, avionics and anything

    else that is not considered as a part of the crew, payload or fuel. The following equation

    summarizes the design takeoff weight,

    The crew and the payload weights are known. The only unknowns are the fuel weight and

    empty weight. The following iterative equation is used to calculate the weight,

  • 7/27/2019 Aircraft Design Project i

    32/74

    32

    Now, W0 can be determined if Wf/W0 and We/W0 are known.

    In order to meet the mission requirements the aircraft must be able to take off and climb

    to the desired cruising altitude and then cruise for the desired range and land. There

    should be enough additional fuel for emergency climb & cruise and loitering before

    landing.

    Fuel fraction estimation (Wf/W0)

    The amount of fuel required to carry out the mission effectively depends upon the

    efficiency of the powerplant and efficient aerodynamics of the airplane. The total fuel

    consumed during the mission is the amount that is consumed from engine start, taxi, take

    off, cruise, descent, landing, and taxi and finally shut down. Sometimes, there is some

    loitering when the aircraft is put into a holding pattern by the ATC prior to landing. The

    fuel fraction for each segment can be calculated from Existing graphs or from some other

    formulae. Generally, Breguets range and endurance equations are used. For loitering

    segment, a usual timing of 20 min is sufficient. However, we are selecting a loitering

    time of 1 hour. Further, a reserve of fuel for a cruise for 100 nm is considered. The

    calculations then are as follows,

    = 0.70006

    Therefore, the fuel fraction is

    A new design always has an evolutionary change from an Existing aircraft. Therefore, we

    can assume a value for this ratio from Existing data from similar aircraft. The graphs

    yield an equation for the calculation of empty weight ratio. It is,

    We/W0 = AW0cKvs

    A & c are constants for particular type of aircraft, for business jets A = 1.02 and c = -0.06

    Kvs has a value of 1 for fixed sweep and 1.04 for variable sweep

    Wcrew = (100*3) + (20*3) = 360 kg

    Ex No. 6 SELECTION OF AIRFOIL 09:02:11

    Aim

    To study different types of airfoils and select an appropriate airfoil for the airplane

    design.

    Introduction

    After the estimation of weight, a compatible airfoil for the type of aircraft that would be

    able to generate enough lift to overcome the weight efficiently has to be selected. First, a

    study of the Existing airfoils is suggested before proceeding to airfoil selection. NACA

    provides a wide variety of airfoils, each having its own different merits and demerits.

    AIRFOIL Families

    NACA Four-Digit Series

    Around 1932, NACA tested a series of airfoil shapes known as the four-digit sections.The four-digit airfoil geometry is defined, as the name implies, by four digits; the first

    gives the maximum camber in percent of chord, the second the location of the maximum

    camber in tenths of chord, and the last two the maximum thickness in percent of chord.

    For Example, the 2412 airfoil is a

    12% thick airfoil having a 2% camber located 0.4 from the leading edge.

  • 7/27/2019 Aircraft Design Project i

    39/74

    39

    Advantages

    Good stall characteristics Small centre of pressure movement across large speed range Roughness has little effect

    Disadvantages

    Low CLmax Relatively high drag High pitching moment

    NACA five-Digit Series

    The NACA five-digit series developed around 1935 uses the same thickness distribution

    as the four-digit series.

    The numbering system for the five-digit series is not as straightforward as for the four-

    digit series. The first digit multiplied by 3/2 gives the design lift coefficient of the airfoil.

    The next two digits are twice the position of maximum camber in percent of chord. The

    last two digits give the percent thickness. For Example, the 23012 airfoil is a 12% thick

    airfoil having a design Cl of 0.3 and a maximum camber located 15% of c back from the

    leading edge.

    Advantages

    Higher CLmax Low pitching moment Roughness has little effect

    Disadvantages

    Poor stall behaviour Relatively high drag

  • 7/27/2019 Aircraft Design Project i

    40/74

    40

    NACA l-Series (Series 16)

    The NACA 1-series of wing sections developed around 1939 was the first series based on

    theoretical considerations. The most commonly used 1-series airfoils have the minimum

    pressure located at the 0.6 and are referred to as series-16 airfoils. The camber line for

    these airfoils is designed to produce a uniform chord wise pressure difference across it. In

    the thin airfoil theory to follow, this corresponds to a constant chord wise distribution of

    vortices.

    Operated at its design Cl, the series-16 airfoil produces its lift while avoiding low-

    pressure peaks corresponding to regions of high local velocities.

    Thus the airfoil has been applied extensively to both marine and aircraft propellers. In the

    former application, Low-pressure regions are undesirable from the standpoint of

    cavitation (the formation of vaporous cavities in a flowing liquid). In the latter, the use of

    series-16 airfoils delays the onset of deleterious effects resulting from shock waves being

    formed locally in regions of high velocities.

    Series-1 airfoils are also identified by five digits as, for Example, the NACA 16212

    section. The first digit designates the series; the second digit designates the location of the

    minimum pressure in tenths of chord. Following the dash, the first number gives the

    design Cl in tenths. As for the other airfoils, the last two digits designate the maximum

    thickness in percent of chord.

    Advantages

    Avoids low pressure peaks Low drag at high speed

    Disadvantages

    Relatively low lift

    NACA 6 Series

    The 6 series airfoils were designed to achieve desirable drag, compressibility, and C l,

    performance. These requirements are somewhat conflicting, and it appears that the

  • 7/27/2019 Aircraft Design Project i

    41/74

    41

    motivation for these airfoils was primarily the achievement of low drag. The chord wise

    pressure distribution resulting from the combination of thickness and camber is

    conducive to maintaining Extensive laminar flow over the leading portion of the airfoil

    over a limited range of G values. Outside of this range, C d and Clm values are not too

    much different from other airfoils.

    The mean lines used with the 6-series airfoils have a uniform loading back to a distance

    of x/c = 2. Aft of this location the load decreases linearly.

    The = 1 mean line corresponds to the uniform loading for the series-16 airfoils.

    There are many perturbations on the numbering system for the 6 series airfoils. The later

    series is identified, for Example, as

    NACA 651-212 a = 0.6

    Here 6 denotes the series; the numeral 5 is the location of the minimum pressure in tenths

    of chord for the basic thickness and distribution; and the subscript 1 indicates that low

    drag is maintained at Cl, values of 0.1 above and below the design C l, of the 0.2, denoted

    by the 2 following the dash. Again, the last two digits specify the percentage thickness. If

    the fraction, a, is not specified, it is understood to equal unity.

    Advantages

    High CLmax Very low drag over a small range of operating conditions Optimized for high speed

    Disadvantages

    High drag outside of optimum range of operating conditions Higher pitching moment Poor stall behaviour Very susceptible to roughness

    Ex No. 7 ESTIMATION OF MAXIMUM CL 09:02:11

    AimTo estimate the values of maximum lift coefficient during landing and takeoff for the

    selected airfoils.

    From the collected data, the airfoils that we have selected are

    Root section: NACA 23021 (CLmax = 1.5)

    Tip section : NACA 23012 (CLmax = 1.8)

    Average CLmax = (1.5+1.8)/2 = 1.65

    For ease of calculations, a plain flap is used. Flaps are high lift devices that are used

    temporarily to increase the lift during takeoff and landing. Other high lift devices are slots

    and slats.

    To aid in landing a flap deflection of 450 will yield an increase in CLmax of

    CLmax =0.9

    Therefore, CLmax = 1.65+0.9 = 2.55

    For finite wings with aspect ratio greater than 5, the CLmax is 0.9 times of the previous

    CLmax

    CLmax = 0.9*2.55 = 2.295

    To aid in take off, a flap deflection of 200

    is provided that yields an increase in CLmax of

    CLmax = 0.5

    Therefore, CLmax = 1.65+0.5 = 2.15

  • 7/27/2019 Aircraft Design Project i

    For finite wings with aspect ratio greater than 5, the CLmax is 0.9 times of the previous

    Therefore, the airfoils that we have selected yield the following values of maximum lift

    coefficients

    The values of maximum lift coefficient during takeoff and landing were calculated for the

    AND CONTROL SURFACES

    Aim

    To select the appropriate wing and its dimensions and the control surfaces

    Description

    The wing is the lift generating component and the selection and estimation of its

    dimensions and the control surfaces is a crucial step in the design process as it would

    affect the performance and stability of the aircraft.

    We can start designing the wing by the assumed value of our aspect ratio and the span

    area obtained from the wing loading value.

    First we will select the type of wing for our aircraft. We have already discussed the

    effects of wing shapes and their positions in the airplane in the literature study. So, from

    that we are selecting a swept back dihedral tapered low wing. Now, let us proceed with

    the wing calculations.

    From the wing loading value,

    Calculation of wing dimensions

    Wing area

    S = W0/ (W/S)

    S = 16112.77/358.228 = 44.9791 m2

  • 7/27/2019 Aircraft Design Project i

    47/74

    47

    b = sqrt(44.9791*9) = 20.1199 m

    Therefore, the wingspan obtained by wing loading is b = 20.1199 m. Ifctbe the tip chord

    and crbe the root chord and taper ratio be = ct/cr

    For most of the commercial aircrafts, a taper ratio of 0.3 is taken

    cr= 2*44.9791/ ((1+0.3)*20.1199)

    Root chord = 3.439 m

    Tip chord = 1.0318 m (where tip chord = 0.3*root chord)

    The thickness of the wing at the root (NACA 23021) = 3.439*0.21 = 0.722 m

    The thickness of the wing at the tip (NACA 23012) = 1.0318*0.12 = 0.124 m

  • 7/27/2019 Aircraft Design Project i

    48/74

    48

    To find mean aerodynamic chord

    Y = (20.1199/6)*((1+2*0.3)/(1+0.3))

    Y = 4.127 m

    C = (2*3.439/3)*((1+0.3+0.32)/ (1+0.3)) = 2.4514 m

    The mean aerodynamic chord has a value of 2.4514 m at a distance of 4.127 m from the

    root.

    Dihedral and sweep back effect

    The dihedral and sweep back can be seen in almost all of the heavy aircrafts. The dihedral

    improves the lateral stability of the aircraft and the sweep back of the wings allows the

    wing to have a critical mach number higher than that of a relatively straight wing.

    Busemann, a German aerodynamicist, proposed the concept of swept wing. The main

    reason for applying wing sweep is to increase the drag rise or drag divergence Mach

    number and consequently, the critical Mach number. However, the wing sweep also

    affects other aerodynamic parameters like the lift slope curve.

    In swept wings, the pressure distribution is due to the effective velocity component

    perpendicular to the wing and not the freestream velocity. Therefore, the components like

    lift drag etc have to be calculated in terms of this effective velocity instead of the

    freestream velocity. This gives us the following relationships,

  • 7/27/2019 Aircraft Design Project i

    49/74

    49

    Me = Mscos

    CPe = CPs /cos2

    CLe = CLs /cos2

    e= s/cos

    (Z/C)e = (Z/C)s/ cos

    Where e stands for effective and s stands for streamwise and is the sweep angle.

    From the above relations we can see that sweep decreases the lift coefficient. Therefore,

    an aircraft with sweep has to be careful during low speed regimes and would probably

    require high lift device to take off and land satisfactorily. Another disadvantage of swept

    wings is their characteristic tip stall behavior because of the outboard spanwise flow

    causing the boundary layer to thicken as it approaches the tips.

    There are several ways of preventing tip stall on swept wings. Most measures, such as

    shark or dog teeth (local leading-edge extensions), saw cuts or leading edge

    boundary layer fences create at high angles-of-attack a streamwise vortex such that the

    boundary-layer cross flow on the inboard wing is swept inboard thus relieving the

    boundary layer on the outer wing.

    The oldest device for preventing tip stall is a vertical plate fitted on the wing upper

    surface in a streamwise direction thus forming a physical barrier for the boundary-layer

    cross flow, the full-chord fence.

    A disadvantage of wing fences is the increase in drag. For this reason on modern aircraft

    wing fences are only applied when at a late stage in the development or during flight

    testing stalling characteristics are found to be unsatisfactory.

    In swept back wings the wingtips are located behind the centre of gravity. Therefore, any

    loss of lift in the wingtips causes the centre of pressure to move forwards. This in turn

    will cause the airplane nose to come up and consequently the angle of attack will be

  • 7/27/2019 Aircraft Design Project i

    50/74

    50

    increased that results in loss of control. Therefore, the useful lift coefficient actually

    decreases with increasing sweep angle. This can be avoided by use of stall fences which

    prevents outboard spanwise flow.

    Therefore, keeping in mind the above restrictions, we are selecting a sweep angle of 250

    Wing dihedral improves the lateral stability of the aircraft. Dihedral is the upward angle

    of wing along the span against the horizon. Due to the dihedral effect, if the airplane goes

    into a roll because of a gust or some aileron input, a restoring force will be generated

    which tends to bring the aircraft back to the steady level position. Another stabilizing

    effect is that though the airplane is steadied after gust or aileron movement but due to

    inertia, the airplane continues to rotate. Under this condition, the up going wing has

    decreased angle of attack and the down going wing has increased angle of attack that

    generates a restoring force inducing counter rotation that brings the aircraft back to steady

    level flight. This counter rotational force ceases after steady level condition is achieved.

    However, every good thing has something bad associated with it. Too much dihedral

    results in a characteristic movement called Dutch roll. Therefore, keeping in mind the

    limitations, we are selecting a wing dihedral angle of =30

    The contributions of both dihedral and sweepback of the wing are enhanced if the center

    of lift of each wing is far out along the wingspan.

    Along with these, we are adding a small winglet at the wingtips in order to reduce the

    wingtip vortices.

    For the horizontal tail, we are selecting a sweepback of 300

    and a dihedral of 50. For the

    vertical tail, we are selecting a sweepback of 450

    Selection of control surfaces

    The primary control surfaces aileron, elevator and rudder are essential for stability and

    control. Besides the primary control surfaces, there are secondary and auxiliary control

    surfaces. Some of them are slats, slots, flaps, spoilers, trim tabs, spring tabs etc.

    51

    We have already selected a plain flap for our aircraft. Flaps are high lift devices to

    increase the lift during takeoff and landing. Spoilers are used to increase the drag to slow

    down for landing or to overcome over speeding. There are two types of spoilers. Flight

    spoilers and ground spoilers. The ground spoilers are automatically deflected up after

    touch down if they had been engaged by the pilot.

    The tabs are auxiliary control surfaces that help in the movement of primary control

    surfaces. The tabs are deflected opposite to the direction of movement of the control

    surface so that the wind incident on it would produce a force that aids in the movement ofthe control surface in the intended direction.

    estimated.

    Ex No. 9 ESTIMATION OF WING LOADING 24:02:11

    Aim

    To estimate the value of wing loading for the airplane design based on stall velocity and

    landing distance constraints.

    Introduction

    Wing loading plays an important role in aircraft performance. The related parameters

    such as wingspan and chord calculations are based on the value of wing loading. The

    wing loading for most of the airplanes is determined by the considerations of V stall and

    landing distance. The Vmax of an airplane increases as W/S increases. We are considering

    Vstall and landing distance as our primary constraints.

    First, let us consider the constraint imposed by stall velocity. This can be given by the

    relation,

    The above equation can be rewritten as

    From our requirements, the stalling velocity is not to Exceed 50 ms-1

    W/S = 0.5*1.225*502*2.295

    W/S = 3514.219 N/m2

    W/S = 358.228 kg/m2

  • 7/27/2019 Aircraft Design Project i

    54/74

    54

    This is the value of wing loading constrained by stall velocity.

    Now, let us examine the constraints imposed by landing distance.

    Total landing distance = approach distance + flare distance + ground roll

    SLD = Sa + Sf+ Sg

    For commercial airplanes,

    Approach velocity Va = 1.3Vstall

  • 7/27/2019 Aircraft Design Project i

    55/74

    55

    Touchdown velocity VTD = 1.15Vstall

    Flare velocity occurs between approach and touchdown velocity. Therefore, it is

    acceptable to consider flare velocity as an average of touchdown and approach velocities.

    Flare velocity Vf= Va + VTD

    Vf= 1.3Vstall + 1.15Vstall

    Vf= 1.23Vstall

    Vf= 1.23*50 = 61.5 ms-1

    Flight path radius during flare is given by,

    During landing velocity is flare velocity and the load factor has an approximate value of n

    = 1.2

    R = 61.5

    2/ (0.2*9.81)

    R = 1927.75 m

    Flare height

  • 7/27/2019 Aircraft Design Project i

    56/74

    56

    For most commercial airplanes, the approach angle a = 30

    hf= 1927.75*(1-cos30)

    Flare height = 2.642 m

    Approach distance

    The approach distance required to clear a 50 ft obstacle is

    Sa = (15.24-2.642)/tan30

    Sa = 240.386 m

    Flare distance

    Sf= 1927.75*sin30

    Sf= 100.89 m

    From our specifications, the total landing distance is not to exceed 1000 m

    Sa + Sf+ Sg = 1000 m

    Sg = 1000100.89240.386

  • 7/27/2019 Aircraft Design Project i

    57/74

    57

    Sg = 658.724 mHowever, Sg can also be found out using the equation,

    For commercial airplanes, the value of j is taken as 1.15. N is the time increment for free

    roll immediately after touchdown and it is taken as 3 s. r is the coefficient of friction of

    the runway. Assuming a concrete runway that has a friction coefficient of 0.4. We have,

    Sg = 1.15*3*(2*W/S/(1.225*2.295))1/2

    + 1.152W/S/(9.81*2.295*1.225*0.4)

    Sg = 2.91sqrt(W/S) + 0.1199 W/S

    Solving this equation, we have,

    W/S = 3965.57 N/m

    2

    W/S = 404.237 kg/m2

    Clearly, if the wing loading is less than 404.237, the landing distance will be less than

    1000 m. therefore, the wing loading obtained by the stall velocity as constraint is

    considered as the wing loading of complete airplane as it is lesser than 404.237 kg/m2

    Therefore the wing loading W/S = 358.228 kg/m2

  • 7/27/2019 Aircraft Design Project i

    58/74

    58

    Result

    Thus, the value of wing loading constrained by stall velocity and landing distance was

    found out,

    Wing loading constrained by stall velocity = 358.228 kg/m2

    Wing loading constrained by landing distance = 404.237 kg/m2

    THRUST TO WEIGHT RATIO

    AimTo estimate the value of thrust to weight ratio for the airplane design

    Introduction

    Like the wing loading, the thrust to weight ratio also plays an important role in affecting

    the performance of the airplane. It is the ratio of instantaneous thrust to weight. It is used

    as a figure of merit for quantitative comparison of engine or vehicle design.

    The value of T/W ratio determines in part the take off distance, rate of climb and

    maximum velocity. First, let us consider the take off distance that is taken as 800 m in our

    requirements.

    Total take off distance = ground roll + airborne distance

    Sg = 1.21*358.228*9.81/ (9.81*1.225*1.935*(T/W))

    Sg = 182.864/ (T/W)

    Vstall = sqrt (2*3514.219/ (1.225*1.935))

    Sa = 252.757 m

    Sg + Sa = 800

    Sg = 800-252.757 = 547.243 m

    T/W = 0.3341

    This is the value of thrust required at a velocity of

    V = 0.7(1.1*54.45) = 41.927

    V = 41.927 ms-1

    or 93.79 mph or 137.55 fts-1

    At this velocity, the power required is,

    Ex No. 11 POWERPLANT SELECTION 10:03:11

    Aim

    To select a powerplant that seems to meet the aircrafts requirements.

    Introduction

    Selection of powerplant is an important step in design process because one has to

    compromise with weight of the engine, thrust provided by it, TSFC etc. different types of

    powerplants are available,

    Turbojet Turboprop Turbofan Ramjet

    Turbojet aircraft was the earliest form of jet engine. It can be classified into two types

    based upon the type o compressor used

    Axial flow compressor Centrifugal flow compressor

    Though the turbojet engine has certain advantages like easy construction, weight andsize, it also has disadvantages like low efficiency and disturbing noise of high dB.

    Turboprop is a combination of the propeller and the jet engine. It has good advantage of

    efficiency but has altitude and speed limitations due to the propeller effects. It is better

    suited for medium altitude and medium speed cruise.

    Turbofan is a modified form of jet engine. It has a comparatively large fan attached ahead

    of the compressor. A turbofan engine has two types of thrust like the turboprop engine,

    fan (propeller) thrust and jet thrust. There are two flows in a turbofan engine. The outer

    flow or cold flow and the inner or core or hot flow. The ratio of mass flow rate of outer

    flow to that of core or inner flow is known as the bypass ratio. Based on this parameter,

    the turbofan engines can be classified as,

  • 7/27/2019 Aircraft Design Project i

    63/74

    63

    Low bypass turbofan Medium bypass turbofan High bypass turbofan

    Higher the bypass ratio, higher the propulsive efficiency. This is the reason why most

    transport and business aircrafts utilize high bypass turbofan engines. The TSFC of a

    turbofan engine is almost half of that of a conventional turbojet engine.

    Keeping in mind the above data we have selected Rolls Royce AE3007 turbofan engines.

    It is the most suited engine to meet our specifications.

    CONCLUSION

    The design of the selected aircraft long range business jet was done in a step by step

    method sticking to the basic rules. Calculations were performed with respect to data andformulae obtained from available design books. Some problems aroused during the

    process. However, they were solved by good teamwork. The conceptual design done in

    this project meets the initial requirements that were set by us.. It also helped us to

    understand some basic things about the aircraft and its design. We saw how the weight of

    an aircraft plays an important role in the design process. All the other following

    parameters vary with weight. The estimation of weight was a very crucial step and was

    also interesting. Then followed by the selection of an appropriate airfoil and estimating

    the lift that could be obtained using it. Then the estimation of some critical performance

    parameters to finalize the conceptual design process and selection of an appropriate

    powerplant. Finally, it ended with the three view diagram. We would like to conclude

    saying that the experience that we got during the process will be helpful and the moments

    will always be remembered by us.
