Mission Statement • Design an Environmentally Responsible Aircraft (ERA) that lowers noise, minimizes emissions, and reduces fuel burn • Utilize new technology to develop a competitive medium-size aircraft that meets the demands of transportation for continental market • Deliver a business plan focusing on capitalizing on growing markets • Submit final design to NASA ERA College Student Challenge
Major Design Requirements • NASA ERA Goals Large twin aisle reference configuration = Boeing 777-200LR
Major Design Requirements • Market Goals • 200 passengers • Intra - Continental Range • 3200 Nautical Miles • Operability • Maintenance • Turnaround time • Production and operating costs
Design Process • Concept Generation • Created functional flow block diagram • Brainstormed design features • Assembled morphological matrix • Designed 8 initial concepts • Two rounds of Pugh's method
Technologies • Concept 1: • “Double bubble” fuselage • C - wing • Aft mounted engines • Concept 2: • High wing • Under wing engines • High aspect ratio wing
Technologies • On both concepts • Laminar flow • Composite Materials Courtesy NASA
Technology Effects • Double Bubble Fuselage • 19% fuel burn reduction, 15 min load/unload time reduction, pressurization difficulties • C – wing • 11% reduction in induced drag, increased wing weight • Aft mounted engines • 16 % fuel burn reduction, 5db noise reduction, maintenance issues
Technology Effects • High Wing • Allows for GTF to be fixed in under wing configuration • Under Wing Engines • No increase in maintenance time or cost • High AR Wing • 1% increase in span = 1.7% decrease in induced drag • Laminar Flow • 25% laminar flow on wing = 25% reduction in parasite drag, no leading edge devices limits slow speed ability
Technology Effects • Composite Materials • Fiber Laminate Core(FLC) reduces over 40% directional strength, 15% lower density then Al • Alcoa Wing Box, 20% wing weight reduction Photos courtesy of ALCOA
Engine Selection • The Geared Turbo Fan (GTF) • Pros -Fuel economy-up to 15% savings • Noise-max of10dB reduction • Emissions –surpass CAEP/6 by 50% for NOx • Cons -Maintenance costs for gearbox http://www.aric.or.kr/trend/history/images/propellant/pw_geared_turbofan.jpg
Engine Sizing • Modeling the baseline engine to the GEnx-1B64 • Modeled engine features: Weight=11,900 lbs; T:W=4.951; BPR=10; Pressure ratio 20:1 • Genx-1B64 features: Weight=12822 lbs ; T:W=5.21; BPR=19/2; Pressure ratio 23:1 Courtesy GE Aircraft Engines
Engine Technology Effects • Cheverons-Improved exhaust and bypass air mixing reducing engine exhaust noise by 3 dB • Soft Vanes-Reduce fan noise by 1-2 dB by reducing unsteady pressure response on stator surface. http://memagazine.asme.org/articles/2006/november/Put_Nozzle.cfm Assessment of soft vane and metal foam engine noise reduction concepts-NASA Glenn
Major Performance Constraints • Top of Climb: • Alt = 42,000 ft, Mach = 0.75 • 2-G Maneuver: • Alt = 10,000 ft, V = 250 Kts, • Landing Braking Ground Roll @ High-Hot Cond. : • Length = 4000 ft, (Alt = 5000 ft, T = +15 F) • Takeoff Accel. Ground Roll @ High-Hot Cond. : • Length = 2000 ft • Second Segment Climb @ High-Hot Cond.: • 1 engine out, FAA min. climb gradient (2.4%)
Basic Assumptions • Concept 1 – Double Bubble • Concept 2 – High Wing
Constraint Diagram: Concept 1 Tsl/W0 = 0.29 (lbf/lb) W0/S = 103 (lbs/ft2)
Constraint Diagram: Concept 2 Tsl/W0 = 0.26 (lbf/lb) W0/S = 84 (lb/ft2)
Trade Studies • Aspect Ratio • Varied aspect ratio between 9 & 20 • Mach Number • Target performance specifications yielded a mach number of 0.75 • Sweep • Researched the effects of sweep between 0 ° & 35° on both concepts and chose appropriate sweep angles

Code Status Current Status Validated Code for Boeing 757-200 and 767-200ER Split up sizing code into weight and drag components Location of center of gravity for Hybrid Concepts Validation using similar a/c: Boeing 757-200 TOGW = 255000 lb, OEW = 127000 lb, Wfuel = 74510 lb
Basic Assumptions • Concept 1 – Double Bubble • Concept 2 – High Wing
Sizing Approach • Empty Weight • Statistical equations for components from Raymer Text • Weights added to Payload & Fuel to estimate TOGW • If fuel weight isn’t sufficient, weights adjusted (iteration) • Fuel Weight • Segment fuel fractions using Range and Endurance eqns • Drag • Component drag build-up • Parasite, for each exposed aircraft component • Induced, for wing and tail surfaces • Wave, neglected for cruse Mach ~ 0.75
