Aircraft conceptual design decision through operational modelling

Harasani, W. (Cranfield University, 2005)

Aircraft manufacturing is not only a difficult business but also a very competitive one, the consequences of any drop in sales would cost billions, loss of jobs, and maybe an economical failure. Therefore, concentrating ...
The comparison of aerodynamic and stability characteristics between conventional and blended wing body aircraft

Wang, Faliang (Cranfield University, 2012-01)

Aircraft with advanced wing geometry, like the flying wing or blended wing body configuration, seems to be the seed candidate of future aircraft. Compared with conventional aircraft, there are significant aerodynamic ...
Conceptual design methodologies appropriate to supersonic business jets

Sun, Yicheng (2018-11)

This project aims to study the status of the issues related to Supersonic Business Jet (SSBJ) conceptual design, to develop design methodologies appropriate to SSBJs, and to explore the design space of low-boom low-drag ...
Conceptual design methodology for blended wing body aircraft

Okonkwo, Paulinus Peter Chukwuemeka (Cranfield University, 2016-05)

The desire to create an environmentally friendly aircraft that is aerodynamically efficient and capable of conveying large number of passengers over long ranges at reduced direct operating cost led aircraft designers to ...
Conceptual design synthesis and multidisciplinary optimisation of unmanned combat aerial vehicles.

Sepulveda Palacios, Eduardo (2019-12)

The purpose of this research is to investigate and develop conceptual design methodologies and computational tools appropriate to the design and analysis of low-observable Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles (UCAVs), performing ...
Conceptual design synthesis and optimization for new generations of combat aircraft

Siegers, Frank (Cranfield University, 1996-03-28)

A numerical design synthesis methodology for new generations of combat aircraft has been developed. It incorporates advanced technology in the form of design for low observables. Aircraft capable of being modelled with ...
Environmental impact assessment of the operation of conventional helicopters at mission level

Linares Bejarano, Carlos Andres (Cranfield University, 2011-10)

Helicopters play a unique role in modern aviation providing a varied range of benefits to society and satisfying the need for fast mobility, particularly in metropolitan areas. However, environmental concerns associated ...
The Minimisation of Combat Aircraft Life Cycle Cost through Conceptual Design Optimisation

Woodford, Spencer (Cranfield University, 1999-05)

In an effort to increase the cost-effectiveness of military equipment, a method has been developed to perform conceptual studies on combat aircraft, resulting in designs of specified capability optimised for minimum Life ...
Modelling of tilt rotor mission performance to assess environmental impact

Ruge Montilla, Jhonn Hamberth (Cranfield University, 2012-01)

New technologies and new rotorcraft operations are being developed in order to meet new environmental requirements such as noise reduction and less pollutant emissions. In this project a parametric study was developed ...
Packaging and configuration design aspects of UCAV concept synthesis and optimization

Niyomthai, Nattapol (2002-11)

Uninhabited Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV) escapes the bounds of conventional ideas and opens a big window of new opportunities in combat aircraft design. A conceptual design methodology was produced to investigate the packaging ...
