Aerodynamic design
We design aircraft exterior aerodynamics using a segregated design approach. In that, we start with a conceptual aircraft sizing, in which the cruical aircraft parameters like masses, wing area, tailplane volumes and engine power are defined. Based on that, airfoils for the lifting surfaces and propeller are developed with our in-house airfoil design code. Subsequently, the wing and winglet shape is optimized with our in-house nonlinear wing planform optimization code. Trim and stability analyzes are performed to ensure benign handling qualities. Performance predictions are performed simultaneously in each step to guarantee exceptional performance.
