Objective: • To create an aircraft that can perform the 3 missions with ease and try to exceed requirements with the least affect in cost to have a more competitive aircraft. To keep a customer centered aircraft that can achieve given requirements while maintaining a competitive cost with added capability.
Choosing the configuration: • In choosing a configuration that best suits the mission requirements, we worked together on a design matrix. • The matrix design parameters and their weighted factors: • Range 1.00 • 40% Useful Load 0.60 • Cruise level vibrations 0.50 • Hover capability 0.40 • Cruise speed (240 kts) 1.00 • Altitude (6000m) 1.00 • Cost 0.20 • Complexity 0.40
Choosing the configuration: After weighting the configurations, both tilt rotor designs out score the other configurations considered. Traditional tilt rotor design narrowly outscored the quad tilt rotor design, but also seemed more realistic and better suited our missions.
Work breakdown & Gantt chart: • August 21 – September 27 • Identified proposal requirements • Created a selection matrix • Majority of time was spent determining selection criteria and weighting factors. • September 27th-Today • Divided work into 7 main areas of focus • Cost - Trevor • Weight and Balance - David • Performance (Forward Flight) - Arnab • Performance (Hover) - Javier • Stability –Thuan • CAD Drawing and analysis - Thuan • Vehicle Sizing - shared by all
Performance: Aircraft mode First: Timeline of the performance calculations. Second: Final performance calculations. Third: Future calculations for the beginning of next semester.
Timeline: • October 17th, 2012 • Power Vs. Velocity Curve Code • October 22nd, 2012 • Drag, Wing Area, Wing Loading, Velocity, Coefficient of lift • October 29th, 2012 • Mission 1 profile • Stall Speed @ 6000 meters and @2000 meters • Revised Power vs. Velocity • November 13th, 2012 • Excess Power • Climb Rate (power required) • Transition Mode, (On air and Take-off)
Fall Semester Final • Drag (Revised) • Power Available Vs. Power Required (Revised) • Rate of climb • Mission 1 (Segments performance) • Fuel Weight
Drag: • Configuration: 1 (240 knots flying at 6000 meter with 15 tons max weight)
Let’s Look at Mission 1 Profile Phase 7: Cruise at 180 knots Phase 3: Cruise 240 knots Phase 8: Descend (2000ft/min) Phase 6: Climb (2000ft/min) Phase 4: Descend (2000ft/min) Phase 2: Climb (2000ft/min) Phase 9: Hover Phase 5: Cruise 120 knots Phase 1: Hover
Weight of the fuel • SFC = .35. • WE = 19841.6 lbs
Transition Mode: Fz T (Thrust of Rotor) Lift of the wing θ Rotor V α wing Drag Fx Weight
Force Balance equations: • Fz = T Cos(90-θ) –W +L(wing) • Fx = T sin(90- θ) –D cos(90-θ) • Power: P(plane) + P(helicopter) • X = Lift of wing to Weight factor
Mission 2 & 3 • Fuel weight • Power and drag calculations • Rolling Take-off and rolling landing • Force balance equations • Take-off velocity • Landing velocity • Take-off and landing distance
Hover Hover mode was an important aspect of sizing the vehicle. Power Required Preliminary Size of Rotors Preliminary Size of Wing Rotor size was done by taking into consideration of the disk loading and the wing size.
Power Calculations The early calculations were made with Ideal Power and sea level conditions. Since then a k = 1.15 has been implemented to account for power losses. Also for the measured power a drag was accounted for Cdo = .01
Figure of Merit The Figure of Merit for our aircraft is .855. This is a bit high for a tilt rotor the reason is because the losses again were just assumed to be 15 percent. There are other things that would affect it, wing Downloading and the fountain effect.
Engines We have picked the GE- 3000. This is the new version of the GE- T700, which has been successful for a number of years on the Apache and other aircraft. We are expecting a growth of 500 horse power for the GE-3000 engine.
Engines With the 500 hp growth the total horse power for each engine would be 3500 hp. Rate of Climb Power Defined Hover 7000 hp
Hover Ceiling Taking into account altitude, 15 metric ton gross weight, and a 7000 power installed power a hover ceiling was found.

Near Future Focus • Final Cabin Design • Includes pressurized cabin structure • Cargo Door Design • Aid Distribution System • Winch system for loading and unloading cargo • Locking mechanism for securing cargo during flight • Detailed Fuselage Design
Cost • Cost Equations • Total Investment, TI = (Acquisition Cost)*(1 + spares allowance fraction) • TI = 37.45*(1+0.15) = 43.07 (in millions of dollars) • Utilization, U = (3750/(t + 0.5))*t (Using time for just mission 1 in the example calculations) • U = (3750/(5.85 + 0.5) )*5.85 = 3454.7 hours per year, seems unrealistic • Depreciation = 0.9*(TI)/(14*U) • Depreciation = 0.9*(43.07)/(14*3454.7) = 801.45 • Insurance premium = 0.005*(Aircraft Cost/U) • Insurance premium = 0.005*(37.45*106)/3454.7 = 54.20
Cost • Trip-Cost Elements • Landing Fees = (7.8*Max Takeoff Weight)/t Landing Fees = (7.8*15)/5.85 = 20 Navigational Charges = ((0.5*range in km)/t)*sqrt(MOTW/50) Navigational Charges = ((0.5*1800)/t)*sqrt(15/50) = 84.27 Ground-handling Charges = (100*payload)/t Ground Handling Charges = (100*6)/5.85 = 102.56 Crew Costs = 200 Fuel Costs = ((Weight of Fuel consumed*1.2)/(6.76lbs/gal))*cost per gallon
Cost Total DOC for first Mission = $1262.48 + fuel costs Expected DOC per hour = $3945.67
