Speech Title: Investigation of rational size and weight of a second-generation supersonic passenger aircraft

Abstract:   

In many countries around the world, design studies of supersonic passenger aircraft are currently being conducted. The studied aircraft models and their characteristics are reported in the literature. All of the aircraft differ in aerodynamic layout, dimensions, and flight characteristics. However, the published data lack information on the selection and justification of the optimal design parameters for those aircraft.
The report presents the results of a study of the design characteristics of supersonic passenger aircraft in a cruise  Mach number range of 1.5 – 3.5. The data are obtained using a software package developed at MAI and aimed for the preliminary design stage. The software estimates the characteristics of aircraft with trapezoidal wings of small and moderate aspect ratio, with a fuselage of circular cross-section or a lifting fuselage, and uses turbojet engines as a power plant. The report provides the results of trade studies for an aircraft with a capacity of 48 passengers:

the aircraft’s performance as a function of its cruise flight mode parameters;
the aircraft’s size and weight specification as a function of its range capacity;
the aircraft’s fuel efficiency as a function of its cruise Mach number and range capacity.
