2
Aircraft Selection for Analysis
- Selected aircraft: CRJ100/200, CRJ700/705, CRJ900, CRJ1000, Global 5500
- All share similar configurations but vary in size
- Focus on comparing performance metrics and design
3
Similarities & Differences of Aircraft
- Similarities: All are regional jets with similar fuselage designs
- Differences: Passenger capacity, range, and engine power vary
- Global 5500 stands out with longer range and luxury features
4
Range vs Takeoff Weight Graph
- Graph plots maximum range against maximum takeoff weight
- Trend: Larger aircraft generally have longer ranges
- Global 5500 shows highest range despite similar configuration
5
Payload vs Takeoff Weight Graph
- Graph compares maximum payload weight to takeoff weight
- Trend: Higher takeoff weight allows for increased payload
- Similar to range trend, but with more linear progression
6
New Airliner Requirements
- Airline needs 200-passenger capacity with 3500 nmile range
- Estimated max takeoff weight based on previous analysis
- Calculation involves extrapolating from CRJ1000 data
7
Atmospheric Conditions at 22,000 ft
- Required for multirole jet fighter performance assessment
- Key parameters: Pressure (P), Temperature (T), Density (ρ)
- Standard atmosphere models provide these values at altitude
8
Pressure Calculation Example
- Airplane velocity: 40 m/s at 2 km altitude
- Wing airflow velocity: 50 m/s at a specific point
- Pressure calculation using inviscid, incompressible flow
9
Key Findings from Analysis
- Larger aircraft in same family show better range and payload
- Global 5500 excels in range despite similar configuration
- Payload and range trends correlate with takeoff weight
10
Conclusion and Next Steps
- Successfully compared five Bombardier aircraft configurations
- Graphical analysis revealed clear performance trends
- Future work could include more detailed aerodynamic studies
