DATA COLLECTION
Airplane design is an evolutionary process. The data on existing airplanes, similar to the
proposed design, provide the necessary guidance for arriving at appropriate initial design
values. The sources of design data are:
1. Jane’s All The World’s Aircraft (Ref.1.21)
2. Books cited in chapter 1
3. www.arnoldpublishers.com/aerodata
4. The Websites of airplane manufacturers such as Boeing, Airbus Industries and others
It may be mentioned that this format includes information about the following aspects.
(a) General features of the airplane.
(b) Geometrical parameters of the major components of the airplane.
(c) Various types of weights of the airplane.
(d) Performance parameters

PRELIMINARY THREE-VIEW
DRAWING
The preliminary three-view drawing of the airplane gives an idea about the possible shape and
size of the proposed airplane and forms the next step after the data collection.
To draw the preliminary three-view drawing, requires the approximate dimensions of the
wing, fuselage, tail and other components.
The following steps are used to get these ballpark values
EXAMPLE
Obtain the preliminary three-view drawing for the airplane with the following specifications.
Type: Regional transport airplane with turboprop engine.
No. of passengers: 60.
Vcruise: Around 500 kmph at around 4.5 km altitude.
Safe range: 1300 km.
Service ceiling: 8000 m.
Balanced field length for take-off : Around 1400 m.
