2. ABSTRACT
• The main aim of this project is to design a “150-Seater passenger aircraft”.
The comparative studies of different passenger aircrafts and their
specifications are collected. The optimum values are obtained and graphs are
plotted. The weight estimation, lift & drag estimation, selection of engine,
airfoil, wing & landing gear will be completed.
3. INTRODUCTION
• At the instant time there are different types of aircrafts with latest
technology. Every year there is a great competition for making an aircraft
of having higher capacity of members inside the aircraft. So here in this
report, we intend to implant the differentiation among the aircrafts having
sitting capacity of 150 members. This report gives the different aspects of
specifications like wing specification, power plant specification and
performance specification.

13. WEIGHT ESTIMATION
FIRST WEIGHT ESTIMATION
The design take-off gross weight WO is the weight of the
airplane at the instant it begins its mission. It includes the weight of
all the fuel on board at the beginning of the flight.
W (Crew) + W (Payload)
WTO =

15. The total weight ratio is,
(W 8 / W0) = (W1 / W 0)*(W 2 / W 1)*(W 3 / W 2)*(W 4 / W 3)*
(W5 / W 4)*(W 6 / W 5)*(W 7 /W6)*(W 8 / W 7)
(W 8 / W0) = 0.990*0.990*0.995*0.980*0.731*1*0.990*0.992
(W8 / W0) = 0.686
WF / W TO = 1.06*(1- W8 / W0)*1
= 1.06*(1-0.686)
WF / W TO = 0.3328
16. EMPTY WEIGHT
The formula is,
W E / W TO = A*WTOC*KS
= (0.97)*(83000)-0.06*1
W E / W TO = 0.492

WTO =

18. AIROFOIL SELECTION
SELECTED AEROFOIL Fig 7.4 Airfoil NACA 664-221
The airfoil is the main aspect and is the heart of the
airplane. The airfoils affects the cruise speed landing
distance and take off, stall speed and handling qualities
and aerodynamic efficiency during the all phases of
flight.
The selected airfoil is NACA 664-221
19. LIFT ESTIMATION
Component of aerodynamic force generated on aircraft perpendicular to flight direction.
LIFT CALCULATION:
General Lift equation is given by,
Lift = (1/2) ρ V2SCL
Lift at cruise = 1699.349 KN
Lift at Landing = 1485.0214 KN
Fig. lift at different stages
Lift at take-off = 968.873 KN
20. DRAG ESTIMATION
Drag is the resolved component of the complete aerodynamic force which is parallel to the flight direction (or
relative oncoming airflow). It always acts to oppose the direction of motion. It is the undesirable component of the
aerodynamic force while lift is the desirable component.
CALCULATION
The general drag equation is given by,
D = (½) 𝜌 𝑉2 𝑆 CD
Drag at cruise = 30.992 KN
Drag at take-off = 17.7235 KN
Drag at Landing = 33.513 KN

drag
21. FUSELAGE AND LANDING GEAR SELECTION
FUSELAGE
The primary purpose of the fuselage is to
house the payload. In transport airplanes the
payload includes the passengers, their luggage
and cargo.
The selected fuselage is narrow body type fuselage.
LANDING GEAR
The purpose of landing gear is to move the
aircraft on ground. After take-off the landing gear is
retracted, before landing it is extended and locked into
position.
The selected landing gear is tricycle landing gear.
23. CONCLUSION
Design is a fine blend of science, presence of mind and the application of each one of them at the
appropriate time. Design of anything needs experience and an optimistic progress towards the ideal system.
The scientific society always look for the best product design .This involves a strong fundamental in science
and mathematics and their skill full application which is a tough job endowed upon the designer. We had put
enough hard work to the best of our knowledge for this design project. A design never gets completed in a
flutter sense but it is one further step towards the ideal system. But during the design of this passenger
aircraft we learnt about aeronautics and its implications when applied to an aircraft. Thus a conceptual
design of a 150seater passenger aircraft has been successfully done. The Aircraft is a twin engine
configuration. It uses two CFM56-5A1 engines which fulfills the power requirement. The wing is NACA
664-221 airfoil.
