Abstract

A cutting-edge sustainable airplane can improve performance and enhance profitability are the most significant future concerns for the aviation industry. This research aims to analyse and assess aircraft performance of mid-size transport aircraft through retrofit designs. An optimal design was employed using a non-linear optimization approach under two cases fuselage alone (case 1) and a combination of fuselage-wing-empennage (case 2). These two retrofit concepts were evaluated and compared with the baseline A310–200 aircraft. To compute the objective function for various cases, non-linear solver was used from MATLAB optimization tool box. Additionally, the parametric studies of aerodynamics, structural and operational performance analysis are carried out by using Advanced Aircraft Analysis (AAA) 5.0 software. Sensitivity analyses are performed to assess the overall effectiveness of the optimal design. The key findings of this paper obtained the following parameters as Maximum take-off Weight, empty weight, fuel weight, parasite drag coefficient, rate of climb, take-off distance and landing distance are improved by 0.36%, 26.02%, 10.12%, 4.48%, 27.24%, 13.13% and 9.2% respectively. At the end, the paper provides a clear statement on the managerial perceptions and future insights for the upcoming challenges towards sustainable design.

优化设计，尽量减少宽体运输机的尾流

最先进的可持续飞机可以提高性能和盈利能力，这是航空业未来最关心的问题。本研究旨在通过改装设计分析和评估中型运输机的飞机性能。在单独机身（情况 1）和机身-机翼-机翼组合（情况 2）两种情况下，采用非线性优化方法进行了优化设计。对这两种改装概念进行了评估，并与基准 A310-200 飞机进行了比较。为了计算各种情况下的目标函数，使用了 MATLAB 优化工具箱中的非线性求解器。此外，还使用高级飞机分析（AAA）5.0 软件对空气动力学、结构和运行性能分析进行了参数研究。还进行了敏感性分析，以评估优化设计的整体效果。本文的主要研究结果表明，最大起飞重量、空重、燃油重量、寄生阻力系数、爬升率、起飞距离和着陆距离等参数分别提高了 0.36%、26.02%、10.12%、4.48%、27.24%、13.13% 和 9.2%。最后，本文明确阐述了管理者对可持续设计即将面临的挑战的看法和未来见解。

期刊介绍： Journal of Engineering Research (JER) is a international, peer reviewed journal which publishes full length original research papers, reviews, case studies related to all areas of Engineering such as: Civil, Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical, Computer, Chemical, Petroleum, Aerospace, Architectural, Biomedical, Coastal, Environmental, Marine & Ocean, Metallurgical & Materials, software, Surveying, Systems and Manufacturing Engineering. In particular, JER focuses on innovative approaches and methods that contribute to solving the environmental and manufacturing problems, which exist primarily in the Arabian Gulf region and the Middle East countries. Kuwait University used to publish the Journal "Kuwait Journal of Science and Engineering" (ISSN: 1024-8684), which included Science and Engineering articles since 1974. In 2011 the decision was taken to split KJSE into two independent Journals - "Journal of Engineering Research "(JER) and "Kuwait Journal of Science" (KJS).
