Introduction In chapter 4, aircraft preliminary design – the second step in design process – was introduced. Three parameters were determined during preliminary design, namely: aircraft maximum takeoff weight (WTO); engine power (P), or engine thrust (T); and wing reference area (Sref). The third step in the design process is the detail design. During detail design, major aircraft component such as wing, fuselage, horizontal tail, vertical tail, propulsion system, landing gear and control surfaces are designed one-by-one. Each aircraft component is designed as an individual entity at this step, but in later design steps, they were integrated as one system – aircraft- and their interactions are considered. This chapter focuses on the detail design of the wing. The wing may be considered as the most important component of an aircraft, since a fixed-wing aircraft is not able to fly without it. Since the wing geometry and its features are influencing all other aircraft components, we begin the detail design process by wing design. The primary function of the wing is to generate sufficient lift force or simply lift (L). However, the wing has two other productions, namely drag force or drag (D) and nose-down pitching moment (M). While a wing designer is looking to maximize the lift, the other two (drag and pitching moment) must be minimized. In fact, wing is assumed ad a lifting surface that lift is produced due to the pressure difference between lower and upper surfaces. Aerodynamics textbooks may be studied to refresh your memory about mathematical techniques to calculate the pressure distribution over the wing and how to determine the flow variables. Wing Design 1 Basically, the principles and methodologies of “systems engineering” are followed in the wing design process. Limiting factors in the wing design approach, originate from design requirements such as performance requirements, stability and control requirements, producibility requirements, operational requirements, cost, and flight safety. Major performance requirements include stall speed, maximum speed, takeoff run, range and endurance. Primary stability and control requirements include lateral-directional static stability, lateral-directional dynamic stability, and aircraft controllability during probable wing stall. During the wing design process, eighteen parameters must be determined. They are as follows: 1. Wing reference (or planform) area (SW or Sref or S) 2. Number of the wings 3. Vertical position relative to the fuselage (high, mid, or low wing) 4. Horizontal position relative to the fuselage 5. Cross section (or airfoil) 6. Aspect ratio (AR) 7. Taper ratio () 8. Tip chord (Ct) 9. Root chord (Cr) 10. Mean Aerodynamic Chord (MAC or C) 11. Span (b) 12. Twist angle (or washout) (t) 13. Sweep angle () 14. Dihedral angle () 15. Incidence (iw) (or setting angle, set) 16. High lifting devices such as flap 17. Aileron 18. Other wing accessories Of the above long list, only the first one (i.e. planform area) has been calculated so far (during the preliminary design step). In this chapter, the approach to calculate or select other 17 wing parameters is examined. The aileron design (item 17) is a rich topic in wing design process and has a variety of design requirements, so it will not be discussed in this chapter. Chapter 12 is devoted to the control surfaces design and aileron design technique (as one control surface) will be presented in that chapter. Horizontal wing position relative to the fuselage will be discussed later in chapter 7, when the fuselage and tail have been designed. Thus, the wing design begins with one known variable (S), and considering all design requirements, other fifteen wing parameters are obtained. The wing must produce sufficient lift while generate minimum drag, and minimum pitching moment. These design goals must be collectively satisfied throughout all flight operations and missions. There are other wing parameters

Mavris† Aerospace Systems Design Laboratory, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA 30332, USA Mathias Emeneth‡ and Alexander Schneegans§ PACE America Inc., Seattle, WA 98115, USA Abstract As part of the More Electric Initiative, there is a significant interest in designing energy-optimized More Electric Aircraft, where electric power meets all non-propulsive power requirements. To achieve this goal, the aircraft subsystems must be analyzed much earlier than in the traditional design process. This means that the designer must be able to compare competing subsystem solutions with only limited knowledge regarding aircraft geometry and other design characteristics. The methodology presented in this work allows such tradeoffs to be performed, and is driven by subsystem requirements definition, component modeling and simulation, identification of critical or constraining flight conditions, and evaluation of competing architectures at the vehicle and mission level. The methodology is applied to the flight control actuation system, where electric control surface actuators are likely to replace conventional centralized hydraulics in future More Electric Aircraft. While the potential benefits of electric actuation are generally accepted, there is considerable debate regarding the most suitable electric actuator - electrohydrostatic or electromechanical. These two actuator types form the basis of the competing solutions analyzed in this work, which focuses on a small narrowbody aircraft such as the Boeing 737-800.

Johns, Flight Operations Engineer, Flight Operations Engineering This article is the third in a series exploring fuel conservation strategies. Every takeoff is an opportunity to save fuel. If each takeoff and climb is performed efficiently, an airline can realize significant savings over time. But what constitutes an efficient takeoff? How should a climb be executed for maximum fuel savings? The most efficient flights actually begin long before the airplane is cleared for takeoff.

The canard had an exposed area of 16.0 percent of the wing reference area and was located in the plane of the wing or in a position 18.5 percent of the wing mean geometric chord above the wing plane. In addition, the canard could be located at two longitudinal stations.

  • Airframe Integration
    Aerodynamic Design of the Hybrid Wing Body Propulsion- Airframe Integration May-Fun Liou1, Hyoungjin Kim2, ByungJoon Lee3, and Meng-Sing Liou4 NASA Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio, 44135 Abstract A hybrid wingbody (HWB) concept is being considered by NASA as a potential subsonic transport aircraft that meets aerodynamic, fuel, emission, and noise goals in the time frame of the 2030s. While the concept promises advantages over conventional wing-and-tube aircraft, it poses unknowns and risks, thus requiring in-depth and broad assessments. Specifically, the configuration entails a tight integration of the airframe and propulsion geometries; the aerodynamic impact has to be carefully evaluated. With the propulsion nacelle installed on the (upper) body, the lift and drag are affected by the mutual interference effects between the airframe and nacelle. The static margin for longitudinal stability is also adversely changed. We develop a design approach in which the integrated geometry of airframe (HWB) and propulsion is accounted for simultaneously in a simple algebraic manner, via parameterization of the planform and airfoils at control sections of the wingbody. In this paper, we present the design of a 300-passenger transport that employs distributed electric fans for propulsion. The trim for stability is achieved through the use of the wingtip twist angle. The geometric shape variables are determined through the adjoint optimization method by minimizing the drag while subject to lift, pitch moment, and geometry constraints. The design results clearly show the influence on the aerodynamic characteristics of the installed nacelle and trimming for stability. A drag minimization with the trim constraint yields a reduction of 10 counts in the drag coefficient.
