Introduction:

There 2 classes of fighter aircraft. They are class-1 and class-2 fighter aircrafts. The class

one fighter is officially an air superiority fighter. Most of it can function either as multi role

fighters and ground attack. Air superiority fighter mainly does the function to gain air space

control over the enemy territory so that the bombers can bomb their targets safely, and give

support for the ground units. They literally make the enemy air space home ground for the

invaders aircrafts. Class2 fighters mainly concentrate on electronic warfare and ground attack

along with surveillance. 

Today, complex sets of requirements and objectives include specification of airplane

 performance, safety, reliability and maintainability, subsystems properties and performance, and

others. Some of these are illustrated in the table below

Airfoils:

One of the difficulties in designing a good airfoil is the requirement for acceptable off-

design performance. While a very low drag section is not too hard to design, it may separate at

angles of attack slightly away from its design point. Airfoils with high lift capability may

 perform very poorly at lower angles of attack.One can approach the design of airfoil sections

with multiple design points in a well-defined way. Often it is clear that the upper surface will be

critical at one of the points and we can design the upper surface at this condition. The lower

surface can then be designed to make the section behave properly at the second point. Similarly,

constraints such as Cmo are most affected by airfoil trailing edge geometry.When such a

compromise is not possible, variable geometry can be employed (at some expense) as in the case

of high lift systems.

For my Aircraft, the selected airfoil is NACA 6 digit series. That is NACA 64a204.

Wing Design:

There are essentially two approaches to wing design. In the direct approach, one finds the

 planform and twist that minimize some combination of structural weight, drag, and CLmax

constraints. The other approach involves selecting a desirable lift distribution and then

computing the twist, taper, and thickness distributions that are required to achieve this

distribution. The latter approach is generally used to obtain analytic solutions and insight into the

important aspects of the design problem, but is is difficult to incorporate certain constraints and

off-design considerations in this approach. The direct method, often combined with numerical

optimization is often used in the latter stages of wing design, with the starting point established

from simple (even analytic) results.

Wing lift distributions play a key role in wing design. The lift distribution is directly related to

the wing geometry and determines such wing performance characteristics as induced drag,

structural weight, and stalling characteristics. The determination of a reasonable lift and Cl

distribution, combined with a way of relating the wing twist to this distribution provides a good

starting point for a wing design. Subsequent analysis of this baseline design will quickly show

what might be changed in the original design to avoid problems such as high induced drag or

large variations in Cl at off-design conditions.

Parameters: 

Span: 

Selecting the wing span is one of the most basic decisions to make in the design of a wing. The

span is sometimes constrained by contest rules, hangar size, or ground facilities but when it is not

we might decide to use the largest span consistent with structural dynamic constraints (flutter).

This would reduce the induced drag directly.However, as the span is increased, the wing

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/my-aircraft-design-project-i 48/132

 

structural weight also increases and at some point the weight increase offsets the induced drag

savings. This point is rarely reached, though, for several reasons.

1.  The optimum is quite flat and one must stretch the span a great deal to reach the actual

optimum.

2.  Concerns about wing bending as it affects stability and flutter mount as span is increased.

3.  The cost of the wing itself increases as the structural weight increases. This must be

included so that we do not spend 10% more on the wing in order to save .001% in fuel

consumption.

4.  The volume of the wing in which fuel can be stored is reduced. It is more difficult to

locate the main landing gear at the root of the wing.

SELECTION OF WING BASED ON

(A) 

LANDING SPEED/LANDING DISTANCE:

Landing ground run: 

It is the actual distance the airplane travels from the time the wheel first touch to the time

the airplane comes to a halt.

Landing distance: 

It is the horizontal distance the airplane covers from being at the screen height (15m) till

comes to a halt.

Sland = Landing distance

Sland = 500m

VA - Approach Velocity

VA= 1.71× √500 m/s

VA= 40.8 m/s

Vs - Stalling Speed

Vs = VA/1.3

Vs = 31.40 m/s

CLmax  –  Maximum lift coefficient

CLmax  –  To be taken from various reference airplanes.

8/10/2019 My Aircraft Design Project - I

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/my-aircraft-design-project-i 52/132

 

The value of CLmax depends on the following.

(a)  Wing geometry i.e. aspect ratio (A), taper ratio (λ) andsweep (Λ). 

(b)Airfoil shape.

(c) Flap type, ratio of flap area to wing area (Sflap/S) and flap deflection (δflap).

(d) Type of leading edge slat and its deflection.

(e) Reynolds number.

(f) Surface texture.

(g) Interference effect from fuselage, nacelle and pylons.

(h) Influence of propeller slip stream, if present.

(D) RATE OF CLIMB:

Wing loading is such that thrust required is minimum for the specified rate of climb (Vc).

For chosen flight velocity V, the optimum wing loading = (W/S)opt = (F1/F3) 0.5 

(tR/C)v = (Vc/V) + q(F1/PR/C + F3 + F3PR/C)

For each V, we have an optimum ρ 

Each curve corresponding to each V has a minimum. To get the minimum of the minima,

we draw an envelope which is tangential to all the curves. Minimum of this envelop gives the

optimum wing loading from the rate of climb consideration and the corresponding minimum

thrust loading (tR/Cmax)min.

Cabin Layout and Fuselage Geometry:

The design of the fuselage is based on payload requirements, aerodynamics, and

structures. The overall dimensions of the fuselage affect the drag through several factors.

Fuselages with smaller fineness ratios have less wetted area to enclose a given volume, but more

wetted area when the diameter and length of the cabin are fixed. The higher Reynolds number

and increased tail length generally lead to improved aerodynamics for long, thin fuselages, at the

expense of structural weight. Selection of the best layout requires a detailed study of these trade-

offs, but to start the design process, something must be chosen. This is generally done by

selecting a value not too different from existing aircraft with similar requirements, for which

such a detailed study has presumably been done. In the absence of such guidance, one selects an

initial layout that satisfies the payload requirements.The following sections are divided into

several parts: the selection of cabin cross-section dimensions, determination of fuselage length

and shape, FAR's related to fuselage design and seating, and finally considerations related to

supersonic aircraft.

Cross-Section Shape:

It is often reasonable to start the fuselage layout with a specification of the cross-section:

its shape and dimensions.

Most fuselage cross-sections are relatively circular in shape. This is done for two reasons

  By eliminating corners, the flow will not separate at moderate angles of attack or

sideslip

  When the fuselage is pressurized, a circular fuselage can resist the loads with

tension stresses, rather than the more severe bending loads that arise on non-

circular shapes.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/my-aircraft-design-project-i 85/132

 

Fuselage sizing: 

We can fine the size of the fuselage by using the formula,

where,

a –  1.0 –  1.8

 b –  0.5 –  0.25

lf  = 0.4 × (52323.58)0.4

lf  = 0.4 × 77.17

lf  = 30.87 feet

lf  = 9.4092

lf  = 9.41

Cockpit:

The cockpit must be designed in such a way that, the pilot can visible the runway clearly.

The angle given for our aircraft is 11º. This is because the pilot will not get the sight problem to

look the ground while taxing.

lf  = aW0

Seats in the cockpit:

  The seats used for our aircraft is the ejection type seat.

 

As this is a fighter aircraft to save the life of the pilot we are using the ejector seat model.

  As it is important to give him enough comfort to the pilot we have to select the space in

cockpit and other things as per the comfortness of pilot.

  The seat pitch is 90cm with the seat width of 55cm.

  The head room must be in 165cm above.

  The aisle height is greater than 193cm.

  Volume per passenger is 0.14m

3.

Tail sizing:

We are using the following formula to find the horizontal tail size,

Cht = lht×sht 

Formula to find the horizontal tail size is,

Cvt = lvt×svt 

Cht/cw = (lht/lw) × (sht/sw)

Cvt/cw = (lvt/lw) × (svt/sw)

Cht/cw+ Cvt/cw = (lht/lw) × (sht/sw) + (lvt/lw) × (svt/sw)

Sht/Sw = (Cht/Cw) × (lw/lht)

8/10/2019 My Aircraft Design Project - I

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/my-aircraft-design-project-i 87/132

 

Svt/Sw = (Cvt/Cw) × (lv/lvt)

For horizontal tail,

Aspect ratio, AR = 3

Taper ratio, TR = 0.3

For vertical tail,

Engine Selection:

  As our aircraft is the fighter aircraft flying at a speed of Mach 3, we selected the turbo fan

engines

  Two engines are located in the wing

  The dry thrust is assumed to be of 76.4 KN (17,185 lbf)

  The thrust with after burner is assumed to be of 109.8 KN (24,675 lbf)

Engine Placement:

The arrangement of engines influences the aircraft in many important ways. Safety,

structural weight, flutter, drag, control, maximum lift, propulsive efficiency, maintainability, and

aircraft growth potential are all affected. Engines may be placed in the wings, on the wings,

above the wings, or suspended on pylons below the wings. They may be mounted on the aft

fuselage, on top of the fuselage, or on the sides of the fuselage. Wherever the nacelles are placed,

the detailed spacing with respect to wing, tail, fuselage, or other nacelles is crucial. Engines

 buried in the wing root have minimum parasite drag and probably minimum weight. Their

inboard location minimizes the yawing moment due to asymmetric thrust after engine failure.

However, they pose a threat to the basic wing structure in the event of a blade or turbine disk

failure, make it very difficult to maximize inlet efficiency, and make accessibility for

maintenance more difficult.

Conclusion:

Thus the Fighter Aircraft, Class-1 is studied for it performance. The aerofoil has been

selected and the wing has been drawn. The various weight ratios are determined. The centre of

gravity the wing and the fuselage are determined. The center of gravity for the aircraft with the

engine mounted are also determined. And the various aircraft reference data also placed here.
