Concept Study for a Mach 6 Transport Aircraft

Abstract: A conceptual study is here presented and discussed on the possibility to transport 200 passengers over a distance of about 7000km in a nominal point-to-point mission through the Atlantic (either London-New York or London-Rio) at a cruise Mach number of 6 and an altitude about 30km. The aim of the study is not to design a specific airplane but to explore today's state of the art technology limits to realize such kind of concept, i.e. to identify if such a mission could succeed today. Because of the challenge th… Show more

“…To this date, the structural analyses are solely focused on the wing [27,36], and their main advantage within a MDO framework is that they can be used either to directly calculate the strength [27,44] or to provide additional data for further static as well as dynamic aeroelastic computations [48,49]. Finally, the propulsion specifications can be expressed in high-fidelity applications through a dedicated simulation model that considers the entire [12,17,26,[50][51][52][53] or an isolated part [38,54,55] of the engine's operation, but for faster optimizations, it is also efficient to use statistical approximations [43,45] or "rubberized" engines by means of scaling factors [16,32,56].…”

“…The first example of this is a dedicated model for the geometry which aims to provide a central representation of the aircraft in order to be used by other analyses like for instance in aerodynamics or structures [12,41,45,[57][58][59]. Overall, a fast and robust geometry model that is also compatible with the other disciplines is often stressed as one of the main enablers for a seamless MDO [17,35,60,61], while at the same time, it is important to be able to capture the given problem [27] and have a flexible parametrization that can not only cover the design space but also offer the desired level of detail [32,55,56,62]. Secondly, it can be seen that a model for the stability and trim is usually present in the majority of MDO frameworks so that the trimmed state can be identified and ensure that the optimizer compares designs which share acceptable stability characteristics [17,63,64].…”
