Aircraft design project-2 is a continuation of aircraft
design project-1.As mentioned in our earlier project, aviation a
means of transportation is of prime importance to every country
and with this in mind we have embarked on this project of
trying to design a medium range high supersonic fighter jet. In
our aircraft design project -1, we have performed a rudimentary
analysis. We have carried out a preliminary weight estimation,
power plan section, weapon loading etc.., Prepare detailed
design report with CAD drawing.
INTRODUCTION
A ‘’SUPERSONIC FIGHTER AIRCRAFT ‘’is a military
aircraft designed primarily for air-to-air combat against
other aircraft as opposed to bombers and attack aircraft,
whose main mission is to attack ground targets. The
hallmarks of a fighter are its speed, maneuverability, and
small size relative to other combat aircraft. Fighter have
secondary ground-attack capabilities, and some are
designed as dual-purpose fighter-bombers that do not fulfil
the standard definition are called fighter

SHEAR FLOW
The shear flow can be considered for the two cells
in the airfoil cross section. The shear flow will be due to
the torque as well due to the bending moments. These are
computed separately and summed up to obtain the net
shear flow pattern for the wing cross section.

FUSELAGE STRUCTURE:
Weight of the fuselage
Engine weight
Weight of the horizontal and vertical stabilizers
Tail lift
Weight of crew, payload and landing gear
CENTER OF GRAVITY ESTIMATION
Estimating the weights of individual components and
their c.g. is to obtain the location of the c.g. of the
airplane
Maneuvering loads:
Each horizontal surface and its supporting structure, and the
main wing of a canard or tandem wing configuration, if that
surface has pitch control, must be designed for the maneuvering
loads imposed
LANDING GEAR DESIGN
Landing gear system
Nose landing gear subsystem
Main landing gear subsystem
Brake and brake control subsystem
TYPES OF LANDING GEAR
• Conventional
• Tricycle
WHEEL CONFIGURATION
WHEEL DIAMETER =A x W wheel (inch)
