Airplane Design Concepts for Aero


Airplane Design


Conceptual Design
Preliminary Design
Detail Design



Conceptual Design

Ø  Requirements
Ø  Weight of the airplane – first estimate
Ø  Critical Performance analysis
·        Maximum Lift Coefficient CL
·        Lift – to – Drag Ratio L/D
·        Wing loading W/S
·        Thrust – to – Weight Ratio T/W                                               No
Ø  Configuration layout – shape and size of the airplane on a drawing (or) computer screen
Ø  Better weight estimate
Ø  Performance analysis – does the design meet (or) exceeds requirements
 


Yes
Ø  Optimization - is it the best design

Ø  Latitude
Ø  The overall shape
Ø  Size
Ø  Weight
Ø  Performance





Ø  The shape and size of the wing
ü  Swept Back
ü  Swept Forward          
ü  Straight
Ø  The location of the relative to the fuselage
Ø  The shape and size of the horizontal and vertical stabilizer
Ø  The use of canard or not
Ø  Engine size and placement
Ø  Aerodynamics
Ø  Propulsion
Ø  Flight performance
Ø  Landing gear is to retract into the wing rather than the fuselage or engine nacelle

Requirements
Ø  Range
Ø  Take of distance
Ø  Stalling velocity
Ø  Passenger capacity
Ø  Maximum velocity
Ø  Rate of climb
Ø  Rate of dive
Ø  Landing distance
Ø  Maximum load factor
Ø  Maximum turn rate and sometime minimum turn radius
Ø  Service ceiling
Ø  Cost
Ø  Reliability and maintainability
Ø  Maximum size (hangers)
Ø  Interior and exterior mechanical aspects of the airplane



Weight of the airplane
Ø  The gross takeoff weight
Ø  Weight estimate
Ø  Albeit crude
Ø  More weight – more drag
Ø  Engine with more power – more weight

Critical performance parameter
Ø  Maximum Lift co-efficient CL
Ø  Lift – to – Drag ratio usually at cruise L/D
Ø  Wing loading W/S
Ø  Thrust - to - Weight ratio T/W
Ø  Achieve the performance to estimate W/S, T/w

Configuration layout
Ø  Drawing the shape and size of the airplane
Ø  Critical performance parameter with initial weight estimate given the information to approximately size of the airplane and to draw configuration

Better weight estimate
Ø  Overall size and shape of the airplane
Ø  Improved estimate weight
Ø  More detail estimate of the fuel weight

Performance Analysis
Ø  High speed is critical
Ø  The high wing loading that allow this high speed
Ø  Increase the takeoff and landing distance



Optimization
Ø  Parameters T/W, W/S

Constraint Diagram
Ø  Solution space for the airplane design
Ø  Thrust – to - Wing ratio
Ø  Wing loading
Ø  Plot of the sea – level thrust – to – takeoff wing ratio T0/W0 versus the wing loading at takeoff  W0/S
Ø  Take off constraint
Ø  Landing constraint
Ø  Sustained level turn

Interim Summary
Ø  Make a selection of the airfoil section
Ø  Determine the wing geometry
ü  Aspect ratio
ü  Sweep angle
ü  Taper ratio
ü  Twist  
ü  Incidence angel relative to fuselage
ü  Dihedral, vertical location on the fuselage
ü  Wing tip shape
Ø  Choose the geometry and arrangement of the tail
Ø  The size, number and placement of the engine
Ø  High Lift device





Preliminary Design
Ø  Major, minor changes
Ø  Structural and control system analysis and design takes place
Ø  Substantial wind tunnel testing
Ø  Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) calculation of the complete flow field over the airplane configuration
Ø  The drawing process
Ø  Outside skiing of the airplane



Detail Design
Ø  The nuts and bolts of airplane design
Ø  Aerodynamic, propulsion, structure, performance, and flight control analysis
Ø  Rip, spar, and section of skin now takes place
Ø  The size, number location of fasteners [rivets, welded joints]
Ø  Tools and jigs
Ø  Flight simulator
