چکیده
A way to face the challenge of moving towards a new greener aviation is exploit disruptive aircraft architectures; one most promising concept PrandtlPlane, box-wing based on Prandtl's studies multiplane lifting systems. designed accordingly Prandtl “best wing system” minimizes induced drag for given lift and span, thus it has potential reduce fuel consumption noxious emissions. For aerodynamic concepts, physic-based design needed from very early stages process, because lack available statistical data; this paper describes two different in-house developed tools PrandtlPlane conceptual design: AEROSTATE, system in cruise condition, THeLMA, aiming define layout control surfaces high devices. These have been extensively used explore feasible space architecture, preliminary correlations between performance variables, guidelines properly initialize process. As result, relevant identified rear-front loading ratio flap deflections aeromechanic characteristics low speed condition.

Aerodynamic Design Optimization Studies of a Blended-Wing-Body Aircraft
Abstract The blended-wing body is an aircraft configuration that has the potential to be more efficient than conventional large transport aircraft configurations with the same capability. However, the design of the blended-wing is challenging due to the tight coupling between aerodynamic performance, trim, and stability. Other design challenges include the nature and number of the design variab...
متن کاملDesign and Analysis of Aircraft Wing
In the present study, a general aviation airplane is designed and analyzed. The design process starts with a sketch of how the airplane is envisioned. Weight is estimated based on the sketch and a chosen design mission profile. A more refined method is conducted based on calculated performance parameters to achieve a more accurate weight estimate which is used to acquire the external geometry o...
متن کاملFunctional Analysis for Conceptual Aircraft Design
To maximize the aircraft market potential, it has to be rapidly produced and made available in the market. In order to reduce time-to-market period, manufacturers need to shorten their design and development process. It becomes vital that the design architecture solution is derived faster, which can be quite handful for complex products like an aircraft with the current geometrical-based approa...

The present paper deals with the preliminary design of a general aviation Commuter 11 seat aircraft. The Commuter aircraft market is today characterized by very few new models and the majority of aircraft in operation belonging to this category are older than 35 years. Tecnam Aircraft Industries and the Department of Aerospace Engineering (DIAS) of the University of Naples "Federico II" are dee...
متن کاملDesign Methodologies and Tools
The developments in an electronic technology can make it possible to fabricate hardware components which contain millions of transistors. The trend of increasing complexity has continued for some time. Recent estimations point out that the number of transistors per chip grows 10 times every six years and the speed of chips increases 10 times every eight years. In this situation, designers have ...
