Design Methodologies
• Design depends on good and accurate prediction of aircraft aerodynamic parameters and weight.
• Traditionally statistical and empirical methods are used – Data from similar aircrafts.• Over 100 years of experience.• State of the art -
- Computer simulation- Multidisciplinary optimization- Computational fluid dynamics- Finite Element Method etc.
![Page 19: Introduction to Aircraft Design - I](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081715/544acacdb1af9f7c4f8b4bfe/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Weight Estimate
Wto = Wempty + Wpayload + Wfuel
Where,Wto – Take off weight
Wpayload – Payload (Passenger + cargo)Wempty – Aircraft empty weight (operational)Wfuel – Fuel weight
These may be expressed as fractions(Wempty / Wto ), (Wpayload / Wto ), (Wfuel / Wto )
![Page 20: Introduction to Aircraft Design - I](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081715/544acacdb1af9f7c4f8b4bfe/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Weight Estimate – Fuel Weight
The weight fractions are estimated using statistical data.
Fuel Weight fraction
Range - N. milesa - Knotsc – specific fuel consumptionL/D – Lift to Drag Ratio
