Configuration Layout and Interior Design
Introduction

Drawings of the wing, tail, control surfaces and entire aircraft are mentioned in this study.
Drawings are prepared with much more attention because of its importance for manufacturing.
This study aims to calculate the aircrafts configuration layout and drawings of the external
geometry and interior design.

Generally, control surface sizes are tabeluted as in the figures which are extremely
focused on at the previous study(IV).

All of the drawings are prepared according to parameters above and shown as in the
figures:

Vertical tail

Dimensions of rudder, elevator, flaps and ailerons are tabulated as in the figure which
is main topic of previous study.

Flap Cf=0.435 ft bf=17.91 cf/cw=0.2 bf/bw=0.3
Aileron Ca=0.435 ft ba=11.94 ca/cw=0.2 ba/bw=0.45
Elevator Ce=0.5725 ft be=8.079 ce/cHT=0.25 be/bHT=0.9
Rudder Cr=1.077 ft br=5.842 cr/cVT=0.32 br/bVT= 0.9

NACA 23015 profil is used at both the tip and root of the wing and also NACA 0012
and NACA 0009 are used for the tails.The wing has constant camber, thickness and twist as
we mentioned in previous studies. Wing has the twist angle of 3 degree. The plot of the
airfoils are shown in below:
NACA 23015;


NACA 0012;

NACA 0009;

Interior Design

As it specified in the beggining of the project its one-seated single propoller trainer aircraft.
While designing interior of the aircraft we should just think the comfort of the pilot, and
giving him enough space with the maximum benefit profile.
