SHORT TO MEDIUM RANGE JET AIRCRAFT
W0 = WCREW+ WPAYLOAD
1 - (Wf/W0) -(WE/W0)
(WE/W0) = a*W0^(C)
For the aircraft type assigned to us, A=1.51 or 1.02 and
C=-0.10
To estimate the fuel weight, approximate weight of the
aircraft at various points of time of the flight has to be
calculated. A pre fixed mission plan is taken up,
depending on the day to day requirements and simple
calculus is used to analyse each phase of flight, thus
mentioning the amount of fuel consumed during
different time intervals.
(Wf/W0)= 1.06*(1-(Wmission/W0)).
Hence, (Wf/W0)=1.06*(1-
(0.970*0.985*0.851*0.954*0.995)) = 0.241.
W0 = 27245
1 - (0.241) -(1.02*W0-0.10)
which on solving gives W0 = 64558.59 kg =
143463.53 lbs
For the initial designs, CL max of 1.3 for the airfoils can be
chosen. The aircraft being designed has a cruise Mach
number of 0.80.Hence, a logical choice would be to
select supercritical airfoils. Seeing the (t/c)ratio values,
it is convenient to choose different airfoils for root and
tip.
AIRFOILS CHOSEN: ROOT: NACA 64(1)-212(a=0.6)
TIP : NACA 63(1)-206(a=0.6)
NACA63(1)-206
NACA 64(1)-212
First digit stands for the series number, the second digit shows the point
of minimum pressure on the airfoil in tenths of chord, the number in
bracket shows the range of CL that ensures favourable pressure gradient
about the design lift coefficient, third digit shows the design lift coefficient
and the last two digits show the max thickness to chord ratio in %.
