ABSTRACT
First we start with design and development. Lets take the military as an example.
Suppose the military wants to design new weapons systems that will be more
accurate than the system they currently have. The first thing they have to do is get
a team of scientists and whatever other personnel are needed to design the system.
Then, after they come up with a design they are pleased with they have to get the
engineers to develop it. All these people either have to be hired or contracted.
Some of the work may be sub contracted.
Then there is the acquisition of the materials needed. Some of the materials may
already be on the hand while others have to be purchased domestically and others
will need to be purchased from overseas. In many cases bids will be put in to
various companies to see who can supply the material at the cheapest cost.
After the materials are acquired theres the matter of storage. in many cases the
material is either of so large in size that the storage facilities need to be specially
built in order to adequately provide the needed space. this of course has to be
figured into the equation.
Then theres the matter of movement and distribution to may be the various
military base around the country even overseas. Trucks or planes need to be
acquired in order to distribute the materials if there arent enough read made
transportation vehicles. Transportation costs alone can be astronomical.
INTRODUCTION
Airplane Design-Introduction
Three major types of airplane designs are
1. Conceptual design,
2. Preliminary design,
3. Detailed design.
1 .CONCEPTUAL DESIGN:
It depends on what are the major factors for the designing of aircraft.
Power plant location:
The power plant location is either padded or buried type engines are
more preferred. Rear location is preferred for low drag, reduced shock and to
use whole thrust.
Selection of engine:
The engine to be used is selected according to the power required.
Wing selection:
The selection of wing depends upon the selection of
Low wing
Mid wing
High wing
2. PRELIMINARY DESIGN:
Preliminary design is based on loitering. U is the mathematical
method of skinning the aircraft after skinning the aircraft looks like a masked
body.
Preliminary design is done with the help of FORTRAN software.
3. DETALIED DESIGN:
In the detailed design considers each and every rivets, nuts, bolts, paints, etc. In
this design the connection and allocation

Momentum theory cannot help us analyze specific rotor blades, or distinguish
between the number of blades and their other physical characteristics such as twist,
r
d
taper, camber etc. In order to do these, we turn to a theory called blade element
theory.
Blade element theory is similar to the strip theory in fixed wing
aerodynamics. The blade is assumed to be made of several infinitesimal strips of
width dr. The lift and drag are estimated at the strip using 2-D airfoil
characteristics of the airfoil at that strip, and what we know about the local flow
magnitude, such as the angular velocity, climb speed V, and inflow v. The lift L ,
and drag D multiplied by the in-plane velocity of the rotor are integrated with
respect to r, from root to tip to obtain the thrust T and the power P consumed by a
single rotor blade. For multi-bladed rotors, this integrated expression is multiplied
by the number of blades, b.
Note: Wayne Johnson uses the symbol N for number of blades.
Consider a typical element or strip shown below. The blade sees an in-
plane velocity U
T
, that is tangential to the plane of rotation. The magnitude of U
T
is, of course, r, where r is the radial position of the strip. This element has a pitch
angle equal to . That is, the angle between the plane of rotation and the line of
zero lift is . If there were no climb velocity V, or induced inflow v, this would be
the section angle of attack.
These two components of velocity V and v change the flow direction by
amounts, as shown in the figure above. Here,
,
_

Thus, the effective angle of attack is . The airfoil lift and drag
coefficients C
l
and C
d
at this effective angle of attack may be looked up from a
table of airfoil characteristics. The lift and drag forces will be perpendicular to, and
along the apparent stream direction.

The L and D have units of force per unit span. They must be rotated in directions
normal to, and tangential to the rotor disk, respectively, and multiplied by the strip
width dr to get the thrust and drag components, as shown below.

Finally, the thrust and power T and P may be found by integrating dT and dP
above from root to tip (r=0 to r=R), and multiplying the results by the total number
of blades, b.
The above integration can, in general, be only numerically done since the chord
c, the sectional lift and drag coefficients may vary along the span. Finally, the
inflow velocity v depends on T. Thus, an iterative process will be needed to find
the quantity v.
Approximate expressions for thrust and power may, however, be found if we are
willing to make a number of approximations:
a) The chord c is constant,
b) The inflow velocity v and climb velocity V are small. Thus, <<
1 , and << 1. We can approximate cos( ) by unity, and
approximate sin( ) by ( ).
c) The lift coefficient is a linear function of the effective angle of attack,
that is, . Thus,
( ) a C
l
where a is the lift curve slope. For low speeds, a may be set equal to 5.7 per
radian.
d) C
d
is small. So, C
d
sin() may be neglected.
e) The in-plane velocity U
T
is much larger than the normal component U
P
over must of the rotor, except near the hub.
With these assumptions, thrust T may be expressed as

To perform the integration, we need to know how the pitch angle varies
with r. Many rotor blades are twisted, and it is not reasonable to assume that the
pitch angle is constant. Two choices are common.
Linearly Twisted Blade:
Here, we assume that the pitch angle varies as

Inflow Ratio
Notice that the thrust coefficient is linearly proportional to the pitch angle at the
75% Radius. This is why the pitch angle is usually defined at the 75% R in
industry.
The expression for power may be integrated in a similar manner, if the drag
coefficient C
d
is assumed to be a constant, equal to C
d0
. The final expression is

Here, the twist angle is inversely proportional to the radial location r. Such rotors
are hard to manufacture, but turn out to have the lowest power consumption.

The expression for the coefficient for power, for an ideally twisted rotor turns out
to be identical to that for a linearly twisted rotor.

certain velocity and then the drag value decreases.
ESTIMATION OF RATE OF CLIMB
EX.NO:8 ESTIMATION OF RATE OF CLIMB
RATE OF CLIMB:
At steady state condition of flight for increase in power of engine there will have a
corresponding increase of lift, if the elevators are operated suitably this increase in
power can be used for the climbing flight with the nose up.
For such a flight L=W sin. The vertical velocity component Vsin is called rate of
climb. In a climbing flight power is required for both of the following
1. To pull the aircraft weight up
2. To overcome the drag force,
( ) Rate of climb = T - W / W V 1
]
=Excess power/W
This relation is true for small angles of climb.(say <20
0
)
Therefore, From the engine selection.

1. The service ceiling can be defined as the altitude at which the rate of
climb is 100 units/units time.
2. The maximum rate of climb will not occur at maximum angle of climb.
The above graph is drawn in between altitude and rate of climb from this
above graph we should understand that rate of climb decreases with increase in
altitude.
3. Absolute ceiling is termed as generally used to indicate the maximum
height to which airplane can reach. At that altitude the power available

The above graph is drawn in between velocity and rate of climb. From the above
graph we understand that
1. For steady climbing flight, lift and coefficient of lift are smaller than that
in a steady level flight. Hence induced drag also smaller.
2. Consequently total drag for climbing flight becomes smaller than total
drag for level flight at same velocity.
Hence a plot of drag power (i.e., drag x velocity) against velocity of flight for
climbing flight will be totally different from same plot for level flight, as the drag
is smaller during climbing than level flight at same flight velocity.
