Aircraft Design

Configuration

Blended Wing Body (BWB) configuration for high aerodynamic efficiency, with a wing span of 4m and a maxmum allowed take-off mass of 25kg.

Fuselage section sized and designed based on the constraints imposed by the fuel cell.

Two reflex airfoils (MH104 and MH61) and 2.5deg local geometric twist for longitudinal stability, 4deg wing dihedral to ehnance natural lateral stability.

Aerodynamics

Low-fidelity, low computational cost analysis for rapid iteration process of the aircraft aerodynamic assessement.

High-fidelity numerical simulation using Ansys Fluent for accurate aerodynamic analysis and shape optimization

Winglet design optimization for improved performance
