Preliminary Aircraft Design

Description

OBJECTIVES CONTENTS o Review of atmosphere properties In this course key aspects of aircraft design will be o Aircraft design requirements presented, such as requirements, regulations, o Aviation regulations and certification design process, aircraft loads, mass models, o Aircraft loads, mass models aerodynamic and propulsion models, aircraft o Review of basic aircraft aerodynamics and stability. Interactions between disciplinary issues stability, and propulsion models will also be explored. o Preliminary design process The aims of the module are the following: Bibliography : o To discover key engineering disciplines at General Aviation Aircraft Design [0-12-397308-2; play in preliminary aircraft design with 0-12-397329-5] Gudmundsson, Snorri An.:2014 emphasis on low fidelity models; Advanced Aircraft Design: Conceptual Design, o To explore the potential trade-offs at Technology and Optimization of Subsonic Civil preliminary design stage; Airplanes [1-118-56811-7; 1118-56809-5] o To complete the preliminary design of a Torenbeek, Egbert.
