 OUR IDEA
• Although powered electric models have flown since 1970 and have
since developed in uavs until 21st century , most electric manned
aircraft today are still demonstrators.

• Our idea is to build an electric light weight aircraft running on dc

brushless motor powered by lithium ion battery.
 OUR ABSTRACT
• Prevailing slides are a walk through to design structural parameters
for aircraft component including concept, wings, empennage
,fuselage and control surfaces .The process is also aimed for analysing
a suitable power plant of 75kw i.e. Dc axial flux brushless motor over
radial flux motor. A comparison of contemporary li-ion cells for
development of power house to provide power upto 30kwh.All the
parameters are considered with weight of 500kg , a maximum velocity
of 220km/h with a maximum passenger capacity of 2 person.

 MARKET RESEARCH
To develop a suitable concept and a conscience of technical specifications
and requirement ,our team examined existing and developing models of
different oems enlisted below:

• BYE AEROSPACE EFLYER 2

• CESSNA 172 ELECTRIC
• PIPISTREL ALPHA ELECTRO
• PIPISTREL VIRUS SW-80
• PIPISTREL TAURUS M E-GLIDER
• AIRBUS EFLYER 2
• IFB STUTTGART E-GENIUS
STRUCTURAL
PARAMETERS
ESTIMATed WEIGHT -We = 360 kg Airframe frame would be approximately 135 kg.
CONCEPTUAL POWER LOADING - Hp= 73.1299 ≈ 54.533kw

WING PARAMETERS
DESIGNING EMPENNAGE
FUSELAGE PARAMETER - Length is estimated 6 meters for critical glide performance
CONSIDERATIONS
• Some general aviation aircrafts use untampered horizontal tail to reduce
manufacturing costs. [RAYMER-1992]
• A lower aspect ratio is desired in empennage as compared to that of wing. The reason
being deflection of elevator and raddar creates large bending moment and a lower
aspect ratio restrains considerable ammount of bending moment. [SADREY-2012]
• In a single engine propeller driven aircraft , it is recommended to have aspect ratio
such that tail span is higher than that of propeller diameter.This provision ensures
that tail gets fresh and clean air to optimise efficiency. [SADREY 2012]
• The tail taper ratio is recommended to taken smaller than wing taper ratio. [SADREY-
2012]
• A moderate tapper is generally choosen to reduce structural weight. [TORENBEEK-
1982]
Wing loading 55.16 kg/m2 is adapted as per market probe chart which may vary in preliminary design phase.
AR = 13 is adapted to consolidate high aspect ration for efficient and high endurance flight.
