Mission StatementThe primary mission of the BB-3 Jet is to provide a reliable and
affordable air taxi service connecting small range airports to
larger international hubs. We aim to distinguish our product by
building a less expensive aircraft both to purchase and to
operate, as well as an aircraft that can take off and land at
smaller airports and airstrips than our competitors. A primary
selling feature of the BB-3 jet is that it seats 5 passengers
with only 1 pilot. Compared to the majority of other air taxi
jets using 2 pilots, the BB-3 jet will be able to operate with a
reduced cost of operation. Additionally, the excess power of the
BB-3 provided by an FJ44-1A Turbofan engine will allow the BB-3
to take off from very short runways.
Our target market for the BB-1 jet is the southwestern UnitedStates, consisting of a six-state area including, California,
Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico.
Base of OperationsRangeWe plan to use Las Vegas International Airport as our base of
operation. With a 1200-mile range, we will be able to reach any
airport within our six-state territory and return to Las VegasInternational Airport without refueling. In addition, we can
transport passengers between any two points within our six-state
territory on a single tank of fuel. A map of our range and
target market is shown in Figure 1.

Fuel ConsumptionIn order to determine the fuel consumption for a maximum range mission
in the BB-3 jet, we began with a Thrust Specific Fuel Consumption
(TSFC) of approximately 0.456 pounds of fuel per hour per pound of
thrust. In addition, based on a cruise velocity of 640 feet per
second, we determined that the drag at cruise and similarly, the
thrust at cruise is approximately 391.9 pounds (found in section onDrag Analysis).
We also determined that a maximum range mission in the BB-3 jet would
last approximately 3.25 hours based on a cruise velocity of 640 feet
per second, a maximum range of 1200 miles and an additional 0.5 hours
of flight time for safety reasons.
Using these calculations, we determined the fuel consumption by
multiplying the TSFC by the thrust at cruise and by the duration of
the maximum range mission (in hours). We arrived at a final value of
580.8 pounds of fuel needed to perform a maximum range mission in the
BB-3 jet. These values are summarized in Table 1 below.

Aircraft SpecificationsOver the course of the design process, the BB-3 Air Taxis specs have
changed significantly. At the end of the first semester, our cruise
speed was hovering at 600ft/s and the range was 660 miles. Our range
was increased to provide service to a larger market. We also wanted
to keep the aircraft light compared to other VLJs, so we wanted our
weight to be around 4500 lbs. In the end, the maximum takeoff weight
finished at 5200 lbs, which is still in a good range for VLJs. Our
thrust to weight ratio decreased due to the increase in weight. Ourthrust of 1900 pounds was held constant. We kept the payload constant
throughout the design process. We used 1200lbs as our payload by
assuming 200lbs per passenger/pilot and luggage brought on the jet.
The biggest change came in the fuel weight department. The final fuel
weight came out to be about 230% higher than our initial value. This
is due to our range increasing. Table 2 shows the major
specifications of the Brazilian Brid-3 (BB-3) and Table 31compares the
initial and final values along with the percent difference.

Drag AnalysisCL vs. CD
Figure 2. Polar Plot
The aircraft cruises at a CLof 0.3 and a Reynolds number of
approximately 9E06. According to Figure 2, the BB-3 lives within
the drag bucket. A comfortable range for the coefficient of lift
to live within is 0.2 to 0.4 while keeping Cdfairly low and
constant.

Drag at Varying Altitudes
Figure 3. Drag at Varying Altitudes
Above in Figure 3, we have the drag at varying altitudes. As
shown, at sea level, the drag plot is narrower when compared to
an altitude of 40,000ft. At our cruise speed of 640ft/s and
cruise altitude of 35,000 ft, the drag is about 392 lbs. Climbing
higher would allow for the same velocity at lower drag, but theengine chosen for the aircraft would not be able to support the
aircraft passed 45000ft. In order to keep a high thrust to drag
ratio the cruise altitude was chosen at 35000ft.
