Diseño conceptual de una aeronave commuter para aterrizajes y despegues cortos.

Abstract

In the present project the conceptual design of a regional aircraft or commuter type STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) is developed, for short take-offs and landings, whose main mission will be to carry out military and civil missions, such as, passenger transport and cargo, parachuting, tactical operations, among others., within the Colombian territory. The design of this aircraft responds to the call of the First Contest of Aeronautical Design of the Colombian Air Force (FAC). In the conceptual design process, classic design methodologies and procedures were used, as well as new design algorithms based on analytical methods, which served to evaluate and optimize the aircraft in certain aspects, so that the design was similar to the design, mission, airworthiness standards and certification requirements applicable to the category of the aircraft and those requested by the FAC. Also, as part of the conceptual design, the main geometrical, aerodynamic and performance parameters of the aircraft were considered and evaluated through theoretical / analytical design methods and computer-aided design (CAD). Performance specifications were developed which were compared with similar category aircraft, in order to justify, find and determine the advantages of the present design. The progress in each phase of the design process is represented in this document through tables and diagrams, allowing easy understanding. (Rodríguez et al, 2018). The result of the design proposed here is expected, can meet the conceptual design requirements stipulated by the Colombian Air Force (FAC); in order that this same one is base so that future analyzes that are part of the preliminary design of the aircraft can be developed.
