AIRCRAFT DESIGN 1
I. INTRODUCTION
In this technical report the designers aim to compute and show the preliminary
sizing of the aircraft “BRZ-21”. The initial sizing of an aircraft is where we begin to
realize the aircraft’s geometrical configuration. [1] Preliminary sizing is diverse and
complex in which it requires a systematic process and numerous references. Aside from
books as references, existing aircrafts can also be used as a guide for choices made with
regards to the configuration of a design. [2] Thus, in this report the designer’s basis for
the computations and estimations for the preliminary sizing of the aircraft “BRZ-21”
will be acquired from Daniel P. Raymer’s book which is entitled “Aircraft Design: A
Conceptual Approach” and the three reference aircrafts obtained from the designer’s
Technical Report No. 1.
For the first part of this technical report, the values for the characteristics of the
reference aircrafts namely the Cirrus SR20, Faci Fajr F-3, and Lancair Columbia 300 are
utilized. The average of the three aircraft’s gross weight, cruising speed, loiter speed,
range, and endurance are computed and are incorporated for the succeeding
computations. The different formulas and constants that are utilized in the
computations for the aircraft’s initial parameters are obtained from Daniel P. Raymer’s
book. From the computations the designers would obtain values which specifically are
the gross weight estimation and geometry sizing of the wing, fuselage, horizontal tail,
vertical tail, ailerons, flaps, elevators, and rudder. Lastly, on the latter part of this report,
due to the preliminary sizing the designers are able to feature the preliminary previews
and draft of the initial design of the BRZ-21 through an orthographic view.
