Areas of Flaps and Ailerons

These areas are chosen based on the initial data collection of similar aircraft. 1. Trailing edge : Fowler aps. 2. Leading edge : full span slats. We choose Sf lap = 0.17 S Sslat = 0.1 S Sail = 0.03 S

Fuselage and Tail Layout

Introduction

The fuselage layout is important in the design process as the length of the airplane depends on this.The length and diameter of the fuselage are related to the seating arrangement. The Fuselage of a passenger airplane can be divided into four basic sections viz. nose, cockpit, payload compartment and tail fuselage. In this section, the fuselage design is carried out by choosing the various parameters.

Initial Estimate of Fuselage Length

By observing the lf /b of similar airplanes, we get the rst estimate of lf for the present case. The lf /b value chosen is 1.05. Using b = 32.22m as obtained from wing design, the Fuselage length is 33.83 m. Raymer[4], chapter 6 provides a relation between gross weight and length of fuselage as follows.
