Summary

Mission StatementTo design an environmentally responsible aircraft for the twin aisle commercial transport market with a capacity of 300+ passengers, NASA’s N+2 capabilities, and an entry date of 2020-2025.

3

NASA’s N+2 technology benefits include: Reducing cumulative noise by 42dB below Stage 4 Reducing take-off and landing NOx emissions to 75% below

CAEP6 levels Reducing fuel burn by 50% relative to “large twin-aisle

performance” (777-200LR) Reducing field length by 50% relative to the

large twin-aisle

Market

Twin-aisle aircraft represent the fastest-growing market segment

Growth fueled by emerging economies (Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle East, etc.)

New Technologies and Advanced Concepts

Sizing Code Progress We used three sizing codes:

Simple – Incorporates design mission range, (L/D)max and number of passengers

Initial – Incorporates all of the above in addition to T/W and W0/S ratios.

MATLAB – Incorporates all of the above and the entire design mission (i.e. loiter time, emergency landing etc.)
