Configuration of the Medium-Haul Twin-Fuselage Passenger Aircraft

چکیده
This paper shows the unique characteristics and disadvantages of an aircraft of the classical single-fuselage scheme. It provides an overview of the aircraft built according to the twin-fuselage configuration. The brief description of Airbus 320 series and Boeing 737 series is given in this paper, as well as their inflight performance. The article shows the distinctive characteristics of the single-fuselage and twin-fuselage schemes of the aircraft. The variant and the rationale for benefits of the configuration of the medium-haul passenger aircraft of the twin-fuselage scheme are considered, taking into account the specifications and passenger capacity. We also consider the rationale for the level of security in the version of the twin-fuselage scheme and compare it with the singlefuselage one. As the prototype of the proposed scheme we have chosen Airbus 320 medium-haul and narrow-body aircraft. The practical implementation of the proposed layout will ensure a top flight safety and increase the passenger capacity. At the same time, it will meet the needs of the carrier.
