INTRODUCTION
At the instant time there are different types of aircrafts with latest technology. Every year there is a great competition for making an aircraft of having higher capacity of members inside the aircraft. So here in this report, we intend to implant the differentiation among the aircrafts having sitting capacity of 100-180 members. This report gives the different aspects of specifications like wing specification, weight specification, power plant specification and performance specification. Airbus started the development of a very large airliner (termed Megaliner by Airbus in the early development stages) in the early 1990s, both to complete its own range of products and to break the dominance that Boeing had enjoyed in this market segment since the early 1970s with its 747. McDonnell Douglas pursued a similar strategy with its ultimately unsuccessful MD-12 design. As each manufacturer looked to build a successor to the 747, they knew there was room for
10 | P a g e
only one new aircraft to be profitable in the 600 to 800 seat market segment. Each knew the risk of splitting such a niche market, as had been demonstrated by the simultaneous debut of the Lockheed L-1011 and the McDonnell Douglas DC-10: both planes met the markets needs, but the market could profitably sustain only one model, eventually resulting in Lockheed's departure from the civil airliner business. In January 1993, Boeing and several companies in the Airbus consortium started a joint feasibility study of an aircraft known as the Very Large Commercial Transport (VLCT), aiming to form a partnership to share the limited market. Airplanes come in many different shapes and sizes depending on the mission of the aircraft, but all modern airplanes have certain components in common. These are the fuselage, wing, tail assembly and control surfaces, landing gear, and powerplant. For any airplane to fly, it must be able to lift the weight of the airplane, its fuel, the passengers, and the cargo. The wings generate most of the lift to hold the plane in the air. To generate lift, the airplane must be pushed through the air. The engines, which are usually located beneath the wings, provide the thrust to push the airplane forward through the air.
11 | P a g e
The fuselage is the body of the airplane that holds all the pieces of the aircraft together and many of the other large components are attached to it. The fuselage is generally streamlined as much as possible to reduce drag. Designs for fuselages vary widely. The fuselage houses the cockpit where the pilot and flight crew sit and it provides areas for passengers and cargo. It may also carry armaments of various sorts. Some aircraft carry fuel in the fuselage; others carry the fuel in the wings. In addition, an engine may be housed in the fuselage.
The wing provides the principal lifting force of an airplane. Lift is obtained from the dynamic action of the wing with respect to the air. The cross-sectional shape of the wing as viewed from the side is known as the airfoil section. The planform shape of the wing (the shape of the wing as viewed from above) and placement of the wing on the fuselage (including the angle of incidence), as well as the airfoil section shape, depend upon the airplane mission and the best compromise necessary in the overall airplane design.
12 | P a g e
The control surfaces include all those moving surfaces of an airplane used for attitude, lift, and drag control. They include the tail assembly, the structures at the rear of the airplane that serve to control and maneuver the aircraft and structures forming part of the tail and attached to the wing.

DESIGN CYCLE
PRELIMINARY DESIGN
It consists of the initial stages of design, resulting in the presentation of a BROCHURE containing preliminary drawings and clearly stating the operational capabilities of the airplane being designed. This Brochure has to be APPROVED by the manufacturer and/or the customer. The steps involved: Layout of the main components Arrangement of airplane equipment and control systems Selection of power plant Aerodynamic and stability calculations Preliminary structural design of MAJOR components Weight estimation and c.g. travel Preliminary and Structural Testing Drafting the preliminary 3-view Drawings

CONCEPTUAL DESIGN:
Conceptual design is a very fluid process. New ideas and problems emerge as a design is investigated in ever increasing detail. Each time the latest design is analyzed and sized, it must be redrawn to reflect the new gross weight, fuel weight, wing size, engine size, and other changes. Conceptual design will usually begin with either a specific set of design requirements established by the prospective customer or a company generated guess as to what future customers need. Design requirements include aircraft range and payload, takeoff and landing distances, and maneuverability and speed requirements.
19 | P a g e
The actual design effort usually begins with conceptual sketch. A good conceptual sketch will include the approximate wing and tail geometries, the fuselage shape, and the internal locations of the major components such as the engine, cockpit,
PRELIMINARY DESIGN:
It can be said to begin when the major changes are over. The big questions such as whether to use a canard or an aft tail have been resolved. At some point late in preliminary design, even minor changes are stopped when a decision is made to freeze the
20 | P a g e
configuration. During this design the specialists in areas such as structures, landing gear, and control systems will design and analyze their portion of the aircraft. Testing is initiated in areas such as aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, and stability and control. A key activity during this type of design is LOFTING. Lofting is the mathematical modeling of the outside skin of the aircraft with sufficient accuracy to insure proper fit between its different parts, even if they are designed by different designers and possibly fabricated in different locations. The ultimate objective during this design is to ready the company for the detail stage, also called FULL-SCALE DEVELOPMENT.
DETAIL DESIGN:
21 | P a g e
Assuming a favorable decision for entering full-scale development, the detail design phase begins in which the actual pieces to be fabricated are designed. For example, during conceptual and preliminary design the wing box will be designed and analyzed as a whole. During detail design, that whole will be broken down into individual ribs, spars, and skins, each of which must be separately designed and analyzed. Another important part of detail design is called production design. Specialists determine how the airplane will be fabricated, starting with smallest and simplest subassemblies and building upto the final assembly process. Production designers frequently wish to modify the design for ease of manufacture; that can have a major impact on performance or weight. Compromises are inevitable, but the design must still meet the original requirements.
22 | P a g e
During detail design, the testing effort intensifies. Actual structure of the aircraft is fabricated and tested. Control laws for the flight control system are tested on an iron-bird simulator, a detailed working model of the actuators and flight control surfaces. Flight simulators are developed and flown by both company and customer test pilots. Detail design ends with fabrication of the aircraft. Frequently the fabrication begins on part of the aircraft before the entire detail-design effort is completed.

WEIGHT ESTIMATION
Airplane must normally meet very stringent range, endurance, speed and cruise speed objectives while carrying a given payload. It is vital in predicting the minimum airplane weight and fuel weight needed to accomplish a given mission. We know the lift acquired is directly proportional to the weight of the aircraft. Hence the estimation of weight for a given aircraft plays a key role in design analysis.

The Brequets range equation is used to calculate the value of 32. As we all know that maximum range is covered during cruise we considering this equation, R = (/)(/)ln (2/3)
L/D values of similar type of aircrafts we come to know that the approximate the value of L/D for our aircraft to be 15. So, / =15 From the comparative data sheet, V = 872 km/hr R = 7200 km
For Business & transport jets We found the values of cj as 0.6 hr-1
P a g e | 50
So now substituting these values in the Brequets range equation, R = (/(/)(ln 2/3) = (940/.6)(15)ln(W2/W3) ln(w2/w3)=(4820/23500)= 0.225 (w2/w3)=1.25 W3/w2=0.8
The fuel fraction of each phase is defined as the ratio of the end weight to the begin weight. MFF = (w1/w0)x(w2/w1)x(w3/w2)x(w4/w3)x(w5/w4) = 0.97x0.985x0.8x1x0.995

POWERPLANT SELECTION
As estimated from the design data sheet, the aircraft to be designed requires a thrust of 60kN.A consolidated list of the various engines that tally with the thrust required for the given aircraft is tabulated below. Engine Name SFC (Kg/kN.hr) Max Thrust (kN)

Hence, the optimum choice of engine, from those listed above would be the Rolls-Royce TAY 620 engine which meets the demand of weight and thrust required at similar payload such as the one under design. In our design, we select 2 rear engines, namely Rolls-Royce TAY 620 Turbo Fan Engine to meet the given design standards.

Wfuel = ( .)/ The factor of 1.2 is provided for reserve fuel. Thrust at altitude is calculated using the relation: =alt/ o Altitude = 10800m = 35433ft = 0 = 0.3715/1.225 = 0.303 Cruise velocity = 872km/hr = 242.2m/s To = 320kN = 3200.3031.2 = 76.363kN = 7784.2kg SFC = 0.4hr-1 (at medium thrust setting)

Number of engines = 3
Wing Configuration:
In the wing design, we have two considerations: 1. The geometric shape of the wing 2. Determination of mean aerodynamic chord 3. Wing location relative to the fuselage
P a g e | 62
a. Plan-form shape b. Aspect ratio (which is already obtained from comparative graphs) c. Wing sweep d. Taper ratio e. Aerofoil shape and thickness along the span f. Geometric twist (change in aerofoil chord incidence angle along the span).
The maximum design velocity is 940 km/h (.78 M) - below the transonic region. We choose to use a swept wing.
Initially the primary aerodynamics data was obtained from the design data sheet. The parameters known include:
P a g e | 63
Wing span, b = 27.2m Wing Area, S = 80.1 m^2 Aspect ratio, AR = b^2/S = 9.3
= Ct = 0.36Cr
Where, Ct is the root chord Cr is the tip chord Ct =0.36 Cr Also S/2 = b/2 (Ct + Cr )/2 80.1/2 = 27.2/2 ((0.36 Cr + Cr ) / 2)
P a g e | 64
Hence
Cr = 4.33m
Also Ct = 1.56m A leading edge sweep angle of 15. Hence we get the plan form as shown
P a g e | 65
Mean chord
= 3.16 m
Distance of the mean chord = {b*(1+2 )}/{6*(1+)} from the aircraft centre line = 5.73 m
P a g e | 66
There are three basic vertical locations of the wing relative to the fuselage: 1. High wing 2. Mid wing 3. Low wing
High wing: 1. Low-slung fuselage ease to place the fuselage lower to the ground. 2. More stable in lateral and rolling motion. 3. It is a distinct advantage for transport plane since it simplifies the loading and unloading processes.
P a g e | 67
Mid wing: 1. Least interference drag. 2. Gives best stability with little dihedral.
Low wing: 1. Landing gear can easily be retracted into the wing box. 2. Added fillet will avoid undesirable aerodynamic interference.
In light of all the above considerations, we choose a highwing configuration mainly due to structural and Landing gear considerations.
SELECTION OF AEROFOIL:
P a g e | 68
The given formula can be used to determine the thickness to chord ratio: Volume of fuel = 2*{((2/3)*(t/c)*c)*c*(b/4)}*0.5*1.33
Volume of fuel =
7894.716 (0.72*1000)
= 10.965 m^3
P a g e | 69
Substituting the above weight of fuel in the equation and solving, we get the value of thickness to chord ratio as
As our aircraft will fly only at subsonic speeds, we have chosen a NACA 6 series aerofoil. Based on the t/c ratio, we have chosen the aerofoil NACA 664-221.
P a g e | 70
FUSELAGE LAYOUT The fuselage layout is important as the length of the entire aircraft depends on this.
The length and diameter of the fuselage is related to the seating arrangement.
P a g e | 71
Functions of fuselage: provision of volume for payload provide overall structural integrity possible mounting of landing gear and power plant
Once fundamental configuration is established, fuselage layout proceeds almost independent of other design aspects Pressurisation If required, has a major impact upon the overall shape. Overall effect depends on the level of pressurization. Fuselage sizing:
P a g e | 72
A relation between the gross weight of the aircraft and the length of the aircraft. Lfus = aWb Where W is in lbs and Lfus is in ft. For jet transport,a=0.67,b=0.43 Lfus = 19.5m
Nose and cockpit-Front fuselage The layout of the flight deck and specified pilot window geometry is often the starting point of the overall fuselage layout.
For the current design, flight decks of various airplanes are considered and the value of Lnose/Lfus is found to be 0.03
P a g e | 73
Passenger cabin layout Two major geometrical parameters that specify the passenger cabin are Cabin Diameter and Cabin Length . These are in turn decided by more specific details like number of seats, seat width, seating arrangement (number abreast),
We choose a circular cross section for the fuselage. The overall size must be kept small to reduce aircraft weight and drag, yet the resulting shape must provide a comfortable and flexible cabin interior which will appeal to the customer
P a g e | 74
airlines. The main decision to be taken is the number of seats abreast and the aisle arrangement. The number of seats across will fix the number of rows in the cabin and thereby the fuselage length. Design of the cabin cross section is further complicated by the need to provide different classes like first class, business class, economy class etc.
Cabin length: The total number of seats 150 is distributed as 2 seats abreast. Cabin parameters are chosen based on standards for similar airplanes. The various parameters chosen are as follows
Seats abreast = 5
P a g e | 75
No .of aisles =1
seat
Cabin Diameter Using the number of seats abreast, seat width, aisle width we calculate the Internal diameter of the cabin.

Rear Fuselage: The rear fuselage profile is chosen to provide a smooth, low drag shape which supports the tail surfaces. The lower side of the profile must provide adequate clearance for aircraft when rotation during take off. The rear fuselage should also house the auxiliary power unit(APU).Based on data collected for similar aircraft we choose the ratio Ltail/dfus as 4.
Ltail = 11.2m

Centre of gravity location: The major weight components for which we have some idea of their location are the engine, the passengers and pilot, and the baggage. Using this information, we can make a preliminary estimate of the location of the centre of gravity.
Considering the forces to be acting at middle of each part, and hence taking moment about the nose, we get the centre of gravity.

LIFT ESTIMATION LIFT: Component of aerodynamic force generated on aircraft perpendicular to flight direction.
P a g e | 81
Lift Coefficient (CL) Amount of lift generated depends on: coefficient (CL) Lift=(1/2 V^2)SCl=qSCl CL is a measure of lifting effectiveness and mainly depends upon: compressibility effects (Mach number), viscous effects (Reynolds number). Generation of Lift Aerodynamic force arises from two natural sources: Variable pressure distribution. Shear stress distribution. Shear stress primarily contributes to overall drag force on aircraft. Lift mainly due to pressure distribution, especially on main lifting surfaces, i.e. wing. Require (relatively) low pressure on upper surface and higher pressure on lower surface. Any shape can be made to produce lift if either cambered or inclined to flow direction. Classical aerofoil section is optimum for high subsonic lift/drag ratio.

Pressure variations with angle of attack Negative (nose-down) pitching moment at zero-lift Positive lift at = 0 . Highest pressure at LE stagnation point, lowest pressure at crest on upper surface. Peak suction pressure on upper surface strengthens and moves forwards with increasing . Most lift from near LE on upper surface due to suction.

CALCULATION: General Lift equation is given by, Lift=(1/2 V^2)SCl=qSCl Lift at Cruise = 0.3715 (at the cruising altitude of 10800m) V = 242.2 m/s S = 400.72 kg/m2 CL(cruise) = 0.63022 (from the wing and airfoil estimation) Substituting all these values in the general lift equation, L = 120.3715242.22400.720.63022 Lift at cruise = 2751761.6 N Lift at Take-Off = 1.225 (at sea altitude) V = 0.7 x Vlo = 0.7 x 1.2 x Vstall S = 400.72 kg/m2 CL(take-off) = 2.508 (flaps extended and kept at the take-off position of 20o) Substituting all these values in the general lift equation,
P a g e | 85
L=121.225(0.71.266.86)^2400.722.5
Lift at Landing = 1.225 (at sea altitude) V = 0.7 x Vt = 0.7 x 1.3 x Vstall S = 400.72 kg/m2 CL(landing) = 3.058 (flaps extended and kept at the landing position of 40)
Substituting all these values in the general lift equation, L =121.225(0.71.360.55)^2400.723.5 Lift at landing =.

DRAG ESTIMATION DRAG: - Drag is the resolved component of the complete aerodynamic force which is parallel to the flight direction (or relative oncoming airflow). - It always acts to oppose the direction of motion. - It is the undesirable component of the aerodynamic force while lift is the desirable component.

o Planform area (S), air density , flight speed (V), drag coefficient (CD) CD is a measure of aerodynamic efficiency and mainly depends upon: o Section shape, planform geometry, angle of attack , compressibility effects (Mach number), viscous effects (Reynolds number).
Drag Components - Skin Friction: o Due to shear stresses produced in boundary layer. o Significantly more for turbulent than laminar types of boundary layers
P a g e | 88
Form (Pressure) Drag o Due to static pressure distribution around body component resolved in direction of motion. o Sometimes considered separately as forebody and rear (base) drag components.
Wave Drag o Due to the presence of shock waves at transonic and supersonic speeds.

The aircraft to be designed is assumed to be in a steady, level flight at an altitude of 30,000ft and at the given cruise velocity. The aircrafts power plant must produce the net thrust to overcome the drag, in a sense that the net thrust produced is equal to the drag experienced by the aircraft. The thrust required to obtain this steady velocity is given by the equation, Thrust Required, TR = _W_ CL/CD FORMULAE For a given value of velocity (V), CL = 2W V2S CD = CDO + CL2 eAR From the ratio (CL/ CD) and the weight of the aircraft (W), the thrust required is estimated.

RANGE & ENDURANCE Range is technically defined as the total distance traversed by the aircraft on a tank of fuel. Endurance is the total time the aircraft stays on air on a tank of fuel. One of the critical parameters influencing range and endurance is the Thrust Specific Fuel Consumption which amount of fuel consumed per unit thrust per unit time. Range and Endurance are found using the Brequet Formula. ENDURANCE E = 1 CL ln WO Ct CD W1
