ABSTRACT

The aim of this project is to design and conceptualize a small passenger aircraft that can cater to a wide range of clientele ranging from business conglomerates to private organizations and individual parties. It is a term describing a type of aircraft for transporting passengers and air cargo. Such aircraft are most often operated by airlines. It is a aircraft usually of smaller size, designed for transporting groups of business people or wealthy individuals. The project involves the design of a airliner that can accommodate about 20 passengers at full seating layout, with level of comfort that an airliner is expected to provide while incorporating the design specifications and performance parameters of a short range commercial airliner. The aircraft allows for short range transport with better efficiency and reduced fuel consumption and noise levels owing to a state of the art engine and design features.

INTRODUCTION TO DESIGN

Modern aircraft are a complex combination of aerodynamic performance, lightweight durable structures and advanced systems engineering. Air passengers

demand more comfort and more environmentally friendly aircraft. Hence many technical challenges need to be balanced for an aircraft to economically achieve its design specification. Aircraft design is a complex and laborious undertaking with a number of factors and details that are required to be checked to obtain optimum the final envisioned product. The design process begins from scratch and involves a number of calculations, logistic planning, design and real world considerations, and a level head to meet any hurdle head on. Every airplane goes through many changes in design before it is finally built in a factory. These steps between the first ideas for an airplane and the time when it is actually flown make up the design process. Along the way, engineers think about four main areas of aeronautics: Aerodynamics, Propulsion, Structures and Materials, and Stability and Control. Aerodynamics is the study of how air flows around an airplane. In order for an airplane to fly at all, air must flow over and under its wings. The more aerodynamic, or streamlined the airplane is, the less resistance it has against the air. If air can move around the airplane easier, the airplane's engines have less 2

Work to do. This means the engines do not have to be as big or eat up as much fuel which makes the airplane more lightweight and easier to fly. Engineers have to think about what type of airplane they are designing because certain airplanes need to be aerodynamic in certain ways. For example, fighter jets maneuver and turn quickly and fly faster than sound (supersonic flight) over short distances. Most passenger airplanes, on the other hand, fly below the speed of sound (subsonic flight) for long periods of time. Propulsion is the study of what kind of engine and power an airplane needs. An airplane needs to have the right kind of engine for the kind of job that it has. A passenger jet carries many passengers and a lot of heavy cargo over long distances so its engines need to use fuel very efficiently. Engineers are also trying to make airplane engines quieter so they do not bother the passengers onboard or the neighborhoods they are flying over. Another important concern is making the exhaust cleaner and more environmentally friendly. Just like automobiles, airplane exhaust contains chemicals that can damage the earth's environment. Structures and Materials is the study of how strong the airplane is and what materials will be used to build it. It is really important for an airplane to be as lightweight as possible. The less weight an airplane has, the less work the engines have to do and the farther it can fly. It is tough designing an airplane that is lightweight and strong at the same time. In the past, airplanes were 3

Usually made out of lightweight metals like aluminum, but today a lot of engineers are thinking about using composites in their designs. Composites look and feel like plastic, but are stronger than most metals. Engineers also need to make sure that airplanes not only fly well, but are also easy to build and maintain. Stability and Control is the study of how an airplane handles and interacts to pilot input and feed. Pilots in the cockpit have a lot of data to read from the airplane's computers or displays. Some of this information could include the airplane's speed, altitude, direction, and fuel levels as well as upcoming weather conditions and other instructions from ground control. The pilot needs to be able to process the correct data quickly, to think about what kind of action needs to be taken, and to react in an appropriate way. Meanwhile, the airplane should display information to the pilot in an easy-to-read and easy-to-understand way. The controls in the cockpit should be within easy reach and just where the pilot expects them to be. It is also important that the airplane responds quickly and accurately to the pilot's instructions and maneuvers. “A beautiful aircraft is the expression of the genius of a great engineer who is also a great artist.”

When you look at aircraft, it is easy to observe that they have a number of common features: wings, a tail with vertical and horizontal wing sections, engines to propel them through the air, and a fuselage to carry passengers or cargo. If, however, you take a more critical look beyond the gross features, you also can see subtle, and sometimes not so subtle, differences. This is where design comes into play. Each and every aircraft is built for a specific task, and the design is worked around the requirement and need of the aircraft. The design is modeled about the aircraft role and type and not the other way around. Thus, this is why airplanes differ from each other and are conceptualized differently. Aircrafts that fall in the same category may

have similar specifications and performance parameters, albeit with a few design changes. Design is a pivotal part of any operation. Without a fixed idea or knowledge of required aircraft, it is not possible to conceive the end product. Airplane design is both an art and a science. In that respect it is difficult to learn by reading a book; rather, it must be experienced and practiced. However, we can offer the following definition and then attempt to explain it. Airplane design is the intellectual engineering process of creating on paper (or on a computer screen) a flying machine to (1) meet certain specifications and requirements established by potential users (or as perceived by the manufacturer) and/or (2) pioneer innovative, new ideas and technology. An example of the former is the design of most commercial transports, starting at least with the Douglas DC-1 in 1932, 5 which was designed to meet or exceed various specifications by an airplane company. (The airline was TWA, named Transcontinental and Western Air at that time.) An example of the latter is the design of the rocket-powered Bell X-1, the first airplane to exceed the speed of sound in level or climbing flight (October 14, 1947). The design process is indeed an intellectual activity, but a rather special one that is tempered by good intuition developed via experience, by attention paid to successful airplane designs that have been used in the past, and by (generally proprietary) design procedures and databases (handbooks, etc) that are a part of every airplane manufacturer. 1. Defining a new design 1.2 The design of an aircraft draws on a number of basic areas of aerospace engineering. These include aerodynamics, propulsion, light- weight structures and control. Each of these areas involves parameters that govern the size, shape, weight and performance of an aircraft. Although we generally try to seek optimum in all these aspects, with an aircraft, this is practically impossible to achieve. The reason is that in many cases, optimizing one characteristic degrades another. There are many performance aspects that can be specified by the mission requirements. These include:  The aircraft purpose or mission profile

 The type(s) and amount of payload  The cruise and maximum speeds  The normal cruise altitude  The range or radius with normal payload  The endurance  The take-off distance at the maximum weight  The purchase cost 1.1.1 Aircraft Purpose The starting point of any new aircraft is to clearly identify its purpose. With this, it is often possible to place a design into a general category. Such categories include combat aircraft, passenger or cargo transports, and general aviation aircraft. These may also be further refined into subcategories based on particular design objectives such as range (short or long), take-off or landing distances, maximum speed, etc. The process of categorizing is useful in identifying any existing aircraft that might be used in making comparisons to a proposed design. With modern military aircraft, the purpose for a new aircraft generally comes from a military program office. For example, the mission specifications for the X-29 pictured in figure 1.1 came from a 1977 request for proposals from the U.S. Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory in which they were seeking a research aircraft that would explore the forward swept wing 7 Concept and validate studies that indicated such a design could provide better control and lift qualities in extreme maneuvers. With modern commercial aircraft, a proposal for a new design usually comes as the response to internal studies that aim to project future market needs. For example, the specifications for the Boeing

commercial aircraft (B-777) were based on the interest of commercial airlines to have a twin-engine aircraft with a payload and range in between those of the existing B-767 and B-747 aircraft. Since it is not usually possible to optimize all of the performance aspects in an aircraft, defining the purpose leads the way in setting which of these aspects will be the “design drivers.” For example, with the B-777, two of the prominent design drivers were range and payload. 1.2 Design Motivation Fundamentally, an aircraft is a structure. Aircraft designers design structures. The structures are shaped to give them desired aerodynamic characteristics, and the materials and structures of their engines are chosen and shaped so they can provide needed thrust. Even seats, control sticks, and windows are structures, all of which must be designed for optimum performance. Designing aircraft structures is particularly challenging, because their weight must be kept to a minimum. There is always a tradeoff between structural strength and weight. A good aircraft structure is one which provides all the strength and rigidity to 8 Allow the aircraft to meet all its design requirements, but which weighs no more than necessary. Any excess structural weight often makes the aircraft cost more to build and almost always makes it cost more to operate. As with small excesses of aircraft drag, a small percentage of total aircraft weight used for structure instead of payload can make the difference between a profitable airliner or successful tactical fighter and a failure. Designing aircraft structures involves determining the loads on the structure, planning the general shape and layout, choosing materials, and then shaping, sizing and optimizing its many components to give every part just enough strength without excess weight. Since aircraft structures have relatively low densities, much of their interiors are typically empty space which in the complete aircraft is filled with equipment, payload, and fuel. Careful layout of the aircraft structure ensures structural components are placed within the interior of the structure so they carry the required loads efficiently and do not interfere with placement of other components and payload within the space. Choice of materials for the structure can profoundly influence weight, cost, and manufacturing difficulty. The extreme complexity of modern aircraft structures makes optimal sizing of individual components particularly challenging. An understanding of basic structural concepts and techniques for designing efficient structures is essential to every aircraft designer.

1.3 Design Process The process of designing an aircraft and taking it to the point of a flight test article consists of a sequence of steps, as illustrated in the figure. It starts by identifying a need or capability for a new aircraft that is brought about by (1) a perceived market potential and (2) technological advances made through research and development. The former will include a market-share forecast, which attempts to examine factors that might impact future sales of a new design. These factors include the need for a new design of a specific size and performance, the number of competing designs, and the commonality of features with existing aircraft. As a rule, a new design with competitive performance and cost will have an equal share of new sales with existing competitors. The needs and capabilities of a new aircraft that are determined in a market survey go to define the mission requirements for a conceptual aircraft. These are compiled in the form of a design proposal that includes (1) the motivation for initiating a new design and (2) the “technology readiness” of new technology for incorporation into a new design. It is essential that the mission requirements be defined before the design can be started. Based on these, the most important performance aspects or “design drivers” can be identified and optimized above all others. Following the design proposal, the next step is to produce a conceptual design. The conceptual design develops the first general size and configuration for a new aircraft. It involves the estimates of the weights and the choice of aerodynamics characteristics that will best suited to the mission requirements stated in the design proposal.

The conceptual design is driven by the mission requirements, which are set in the design proposal. In some cases, these may not be attainable so that the requirement may need to be relaxed in one or more areas. This is shown in the iterative loop in the flow chart. When the mission requirements are satisfied, the design moves to the next phase, which is the preliminary design. 1.4 Conceptual Design This article deals with the steps involved in the conceptual design of an aircraft. It is broken down in to several elements, which are followed in order. These consist of: 1. Literature survey

2. INTRODUCTION TO AIRLINER

An airliner is a type of aircraft for transporting passengers and air cargo. Such aircraft are most often operated by airliners. Although the definition of an airliner can vary from country to country, an airliner is typically defined as an aircraft intended for carrying multiple passengers or cargo in commercial service. The largest airliners are wide body jets. These aircraft are frequently called twin aisle aircraft because they generally have two separate aisles running from the front to the back of the passenger cabin. These aircraft are usually used for long haul flights between airline hub and major cities with many passengers. A smaller, more common class of airliners is the narrow body or single aisle aircraft. These smaller airliners are generally used for short to medium-distance flights with fewer passengers than their wide-body counterparts. Regional airliners typically seat fewer than 100 passengers and may be powered by turboprop or turbofan. These airliners are the non-mainline counterparts to the larger aircraft operated by the major carriers, legacy carriers, and flag carriers and are used to feed traffic into the large airline hubs. These regional routes then form the spokes of a hub-and-spoke air transport model. The lightest (light aircraft) of short haul regional feeder airliner type aircraft that carry 19 or fewer passenger seats are called commuter aircraft, commuterliners,

feederliners, and air taxis, depending on their size, engines, how they are marketed, region of the world, and seating configurations. The Beechcraft 1900, for example, has only 19 seats.

6. AIRFOIL SELECTION AIRFOIL GEOMETRY An airfoil is a surface designed to obtain a desirable reaction from the air through which it moves.

Chord line: Straight line connecting leading edge and trailing edge. Thickness: Measured perpendicular to chord line as a % of it. Camber: Curvature of section – perpendicular distance of section mid-points from chord line as a % of it. ANGLE OF ATTACK ( )

Angle of attack ( ) is the angle between the free stream and the chord line. Aerofoil Selection is based on the factors of Geometry & definitions, design/selection, families/types, design lift coefficient, thickness/chord ratio, lift curve slope, characteristic curves. The following are airfoil categories: Early on, airfoil selection was based on trial & error. NACA 4 digit was introduced during the 1930’s. NACA 5-digit is aimed at pushing position of max camber forwards for increased Clmax. NACA 6-digit is designed for lower drag by increasing region of laminar flow. The modern airfoil is mainly based upon need for improved aerodynamic characteristics at speeds just below speed of sound.

NACA 4 Digit: – 1st digit: maximum camber (as % of chord). – 2nd digit (x10): location of maximum camber (as % of chord from leading edge (LE)). – 3rd & 4th digits: maximum section thickness (as % of chord). NACA 5 Digit: – 1st digit (x0.15): design lift coefficient. – 2nd & 3rd digits (x0.5): location of maximum camber (as % of chord from LE). – 4th & 5th digits: maximum section thickness (as % of chord). NACA 6 Digit:

– 1st digit: identifies series type. – 2nd digit (x10): location of minimum pressure (as % of chord from leading edge (LE)). – 3rd digit: indicates acceptable range of CL above/below design value for satisfactory low drag performance (as tenths of CL). – 4th digit (x0.1): design CL. – 5th & 6th digits: maximum section thickness (%c) It becomes necessary to use high speed airfoils, i.e., the 6x series, which have been designed to suit high subsonic cruise Mach numbers.

The Pratt & Whitney Canada PTA6 is a family of twin- shaft turboprop engines and the world’s most popular engines in its class. As many as 69 different versions of the PT6A have been produced – with the engine power range from to 2000 shp. In service,PT6A- Powered aircraft are used for many different purposes such as transport of people ; (Both private and commercial), dropping cargo in adverse weather condiions ; military pilot training,surveillance and other special missions ; and supporting various environmental efforts.. The strength pf the PT6A famiy is its dependability and versatility. The PT6A is in service with both the U.S>Air force(MC -12W) and theU.S.Army (C-12) . The MC-12W and C-12 are military special mission aircraft and mainly provide intelligence , surveillance , and reconnaissance (ISR). The C-12 is powered by the two PT6A-6 engine with 1050shp each.

Also , the PT6A is used on the T-6 Texan II military trainer aircraft , which provides undergraduate pilot training for the U.S Air force and U.S.Navy . The T-6 Texan II is powered by a single PT6A – 68 engine woth 1100 shp. The PT6A engine is one of the most popular and proven power plants in its class. Over the years, new aerodynamics technologies have enabled the PT6A engine to gain more power without significantly increasing its size, or weight. Other innovations have reduced greenhouse gas emissions, increased maintenance intervals , and enhanced the ease of operation.

PT6A engines are currently in service with more then 6500 aircraft operators in over 170 countries. Since the PT6A family entered service in the 1960s , more than 41,000 engines have been produced. To date, the PT6A has accumulated 335 million flying hours and is therefore a highly proven and durable engine.

Where K = 1 / πAe e = Oswald efficiency factor Parasite drag CDo = Cfe (Swet / Sref) Where, Cfe = equivalent skin friction drag coefficient ; Swet = Wetted area of the airplane. Swet/Sref = 1.29 K = 0.065 (L/D)max. = 31.8

Cdo = 0.0038 ESTIMATION OF K: Oswald efficiency factor, 1/e = 1/ewing + 1/efuselage + 0.05 ewing = 0.6 ewing(Sweept Angle) = ewing(Sweep Angle) =0 cos (Sweep-5) = 0.563 1/efuselage = 0.1 1/e = 1.776 + 0.1+ 0.05 Therefore, e = 1.9276 e = 0.518 K = 1 / πAe = 1 / 13.815 = 0.0758 (L/D)max = 1 / 2Sweep angle (CD0 K) CD0 = 1 / 4K (L/D)2max = 1 / 4 x 0.0476 x 18.562 = 0.03 Cfe = 0.003 / 1.29 = 0.002 The drag polar is: CD = 0.0165 + 0.0476 CL2 Drag, D = (1/2)

VC = (T - D)Vstall / W Sin 𝛾 = T –D /W R/Cmax = Sin 𝛾 VC = 3.19 *94.7/15 R/Cmax = 20.13 m/s LEVEL TURN: In the case of a commercial transport aircraft, it is capable of performing only a constant altitude banked turn and not any vertical pull-up or pull-down maneuvers. In steady condition: T = D Force balance gives: W = Lcos 𝜃 Fr = mV2 / r = Lsin𝜃 tan𝜃 = V2 / Rg So for given speed and turn radius there is only one correct bank angle for a coordinate (no sideslip) turn. In the turn, n = L/W

W = Turn Rate = V/R = g√𝑛2−1 /v R = 𝑉 2 / g√𝑛2−1

Let 𝜃 = 600 n = 𝐿/𝑊 = 2 R = 94.72/ 9.81√4 − 1 R = 5.57 m 𝜔 = V/R 𝜔 = 0.058 rad/s

GLIDING: The thrust can be assumed to be zero while the aircraft is gliding.

∅= tan-1 [1/ (L/D)] ∅= tan-1 [ 1 / 31.8] ∅ = 1.80 is the glide angle. LANDING PERFORMANCE: APPROACH & LANDING: - Airborne approach at constant glide angle (around 30 ) and at constant speed. - Flare - transitional maneuver with airspeed reduced from about 1.3Vstall down to touch speed.

Ground roll - From touch-down to rest. Ground roll distance (STD): STD = 1.69 W2 / 𝑔𝜌𝑆𝐶𝐿𝑚𝑎𝑥 [D + 𝜇𝑟 (W-L)] Ground roll (STD) = 259.70m 9 Centre Of grvatiy The weight of an airplane changes in the flight due to consumption of fuel and dropping off / release of armament or supplies. Further, the payload and the amount of fuel carried by the airplane may vary from flight to flight. These factors lead to change in the location of the Centre of gravity (c.g.) of the airplane. The shift in the c.g location affects the stability and controllability of the airplane. The weight of entire airplane can be sub divided into empty weight and useful Load. The empty weight can be further subdivided into: (i) structures group (ii) Propulsion group and (iii) Equipment group. The structures group consists of the following components: - Wing

- Horizontal tail /canard - Vertical tail - Fuselage - Landing gear - main and nose/tail wheel - Nacelle, engine pod and air intake The propulsion group consists of the following components: - Engine as installed - Reduction gear - Propeller for piston and turboprop engines - cooling provisions - Engine controls - Fuel system and tanks The equipment group consists of the following items: - Flight controls - Auxiliary power unit (APU) - Instruments - Hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, armament, air conditioning, anti-icing - Avionics - Furnishings in passenger airplanes The useful load consists of: (i) Crew (ii) Fuel - usable and trapped (iii) Oil (iv) Payload - passengers, cargo and baggage in transport airplane; ammunition, expendable weapons and other items in military airplanes.

The aim of estimating the weights of individual components and their c.g. is to obtain the location of the c.g. of the airplane. Then, the shift in the airplane c.g. is examined under various conditions. At this stage of preliminary design, the weights of individual components are estimated using simpler method like using the table above. The gross weight of the airplane estimated is 80000 kg The weights and c.g. locations of various components are estimated below:

Wing: S = 29.10 m2 b = 15.33 m bsemi = (15.53/2) – Wf/2) = 6.865 m cR = 3.04m cT = 0.76 m Fuselage width = 1.6 m mac 2.128 m Location of L.E of mac from L.E of wing = 0.85 m S (exposed) wing = s – (Cr x Wf) = 24.236 m2 From the table, the weight of the wing is, Wwing = 24.236 x 12 = 290.832 kg Wwing / W0 = 3.94% Hence, the location of the c.g. of wing from the leading edge of the root chord is, 0.85 + 0.4 x 2.128 = 1.70 m
