Coursework Exercises: Civil Aircraft Design (Bizjet)

Both the FPS and the SI units are worked out in the examples. Sizing calcula­tions require the generic engine data in order to obtain the factors used (see Sec­tion 10.11.3). The Bizjet drag polar is provided in Figure 9.2.

11.4.1 Takeoff

Requirements: TOFL 4,400 ft (1,341 m) to clear a 35-ft height at ISA + sea level. The maximum lift coefficient at takeoff (i. e., flaps down, to 20 deg, and no slat) is CLstall(TO) = 1.9 (obtained from testing and CFD analysis). The result is computed in Table 11.1. Using Equation 11.7a, the expression reduces to:

W/S = 4,400 x 1.9 x (T/ W)/37.5 = 222.9 x (T/ W)

Using Equation 11.7b, it becomes:

W/S = 4.173 x 1,341 x 1.9 x (T/ W) = 10,633.55 x (T/ W)

The industry must also examine other takeoff requirements (e. g., an unprepared runway) and hot and high ambient conditions.
