Aerial Vehicle Design (AVD) of a 50 seater regional jet
Given a design brief and a mission profile, this regional aircraft was designed to carry 50 people, 2 crew members and 2 pilots. The process included the conceputal design and preliminary design phase. The initial sizing process resulted in an aircraft with low mounted swept wings, a T-tail design with aft mounted engines and a tricycle undercarriage configuration. The aircraft was designed for a speed of Mach 0.8 at cruise altitude and an absolute ceiling of 42,000 ft amsl. This aircraft also complies with all the FAR-25 regulations, and is therefore certified for flight. The process was split into Wing Design, High Lift Devies (HLD), Tailplane Design & Sizing, Powerplant Design, Fuselage Design & Sizing, Control Surface Design, Undercarriage Design, Structural Layout, Weight & Balance, Systems, Aerodynamics, Static Stability Analysis, Trim Analysis and Performance Estimation.
