  • Effects of Aircraft Integration on Compact Nacelle Aerodynamics
    Eects of Aircraft Integration on Compact Nacelle Aerodynamics Fernando Tejeroa,∗, Ioannis Goulosa, David G MacManusa, Christopher Sheafb aCentre for Propulsion Engineering, School of Aerospace, Transport and Manufacturing, Craneld University, Bedfordshire, MK43 0AL bRolls-Royce plc., P.O. box 31, Derby, United Kingdom, DE24 8BJ Abstract To reduce specic fuel consumption, it is expected that the next generation of aero-engines will operate with higher bypass-ratios, and therefore fan diame- ters, than current in-service architectures. These new propulsion systems will increase the nacelle size and incur in an additional overall weight and drag con- tribution to the aircraft. In addition, they will be installed more closely-coupled with the airframe, which may lead to an increase in adverse installation eects. As such, it is required to develop compact nacelles which will not counteract the benets obtained from the new engine cycles. A comprehensive investigation of the eects of nacelle design on the overall aircraft aerodynamic performance is required for a better understanding on the eects of aero-engine integration. This paper presents a method for the multi-objective optimisation of drooped and scarfed non-axisymmetric nacelle aero-engines. It uses intuitive Class Shape Tranformations (iCSTs) for the aero-engine geometry denition, multi-point aerodynamic simulation, a near-eld nacelle drag extraction method and the NSGA-II genetic algorithm. The process has been employed for the aerody- namic optimisation of a compact nacelle aero-engine as well as a conventional nacelle conguration. Subsequently, the designed architectures were installed on a conventional commercial transport aircraft and evaluated at dierent in- stallation positions.

Pressures and boattail drag coefficients were obtained on cone-cylinder and bulged nacelles with 15' conical boattail afterbodies and jet boundary simulators. Data were obtained with and without inlet airflow through the nacelles at attack angles from 0' to 8'. Effects of nacelle strut geometry, local elevon geometry, and elevon deflection were also investi- gated. The installed boattail pressure drag coefficient was lower than isolated nacelle values at all Mach numbers, and transonic drag rise was delayed to Mach 0.975. ii WIND TUNNEL INVESTIGATION OF AIRFRAME INSTALLAT~ONEFFECTS ON UNDERWING ENGINE NACELLES AT MACH NUMBERS FROM 0.56 TO 1.46 by Bernard J.

  • 787 Interior
    Backgrounder Boeing Commercial Airplanes P.O. Box 3707 MC 03-XW Seattle, Washington 98124-2207 www.boeing.com Boeing 787 Dreamliner Offers Enhanced Experience for Passengers By combining its unique understanding of how the human body reacts to flight conditions and how emerging technologies can improve those conditions, Boeing has created a better flying experience with its 787 Dreamliner. Along with universities from around the world, Boeing embarked on several studies to understand how altitude, humidity, air contaminants, lighting, sound and space affect passengers. In addition, Boeing studied how these factors play together to develop combinations that create the best overall experience. These findings led to significant improvements on the 787. Ride Quality: Providing a Smoother Flight Passengers give higher ratings to flights that do not encounter turbulence. Sensors on the 787 are designed to counter the effects of turbulence by causing certain control surfaces to change slightly. This innovative system helps maintain a smoother ride throughout the flight, reducing nausea for those subject to motion sickness. Altitude: How High Is Just Right? Most airplanes are pressurized to a typical cabin altitude of 6,500 to 7,000 feet (1,981 – 2,133 m), with a maximum certification altitude of 8,000 feet (2,438 m). Because the advanced composite materials that make up the 787’s fuselage do not fatigue, the 787 can be pressurized more, which allows for lower cabin altitude levels. Studies at Oklahoma State University explored the effect of altitude on passengers to determine optimum levels. After testing at various altitudes, it became clear that lowering the cabin altitude to 6,000 feet (1,830 m) provided meaningful improvements.
