Book Bind

The document describes the SkyRunner SR-97 aircraft. It passed all design standards to be considered airworthy. It was designed with the NACA 23012 airfoil for the wings and NACA 0012 for the stabilizers to provide reasonable aerodynamic characteristics. The aircraft has a gross weight of 750.15 kg and the center of gravity was properly positioned for stability and control. The Rotax 914 engine was deemed suitable due to its efficiency and performance. All calculations, drawings, and modifications are included to demonstrate the design process meets requirements for a Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical Engineering.

Technical Description

There is no such word “new aircraft” in aviation, rather the word “airworthy aircraft” is an
acceptable word on describing an aircraft. Airworthy means an aircraft meeting the established
standards for safe flight, equipped and maintained in condition to fly.

SkyRunner SR-97 is an example of airworthy aircraft. During the design process, It passed all the
standards, and the rules on designing was applied as well as to make it efficient. All the numbers
and components are applicable on the aircraft.

The main goal is to build a light aircraft with the purpose for training and for recreational. In
Report No. 3: Airfoil Selection, NACA 23012 for the wings and NACA 0012 for the stabilizers.
Both have a reasonable lift, drag and thickness characteristics, will be discuss further in Report
No. 3. It has a gross weight of 750.15 kg and it was properly positioned the center of gravity. In
terms of aerodynamics, the wing and tail area and angle of incidence were adjusted to have an
ideal lift distribution. Making a flight envelope is for safety purposes, able for the pilots to know
the limits and never exceed speed of the aircraft. And the reader may agree of this
performances, that the engine Rotax 914 is suitable to the aircraft that is efficient and
economic; less operation cost yet high performance. Lastly, the stability of the aircraft with
respect to its CG is also properly adjusted to have a smooth control over flight.

All of the computations, drawings, technical aspects and modifications are included in this book.
Preface
In today’s generation, aviation industry is getting bigger and more competitive between the
airlines and manufacturers. The demand for aeronautical engineers is also rising but with a high
standard and competitive qualifications. Engineer’s job is to make sure the efficiency and safety
of their design. That’s why a comprehensive study is needed before entering any engineering
firms.

This compilation of reports is an introduction to aeronautical engineering in able to practice on


aircraft designing. It is compose of several topics with their functions and effects of it on
aircraft. These main aspects includes about aerodynamics, propulsion, stability and control,
mass, and structure. The concepts and theory is somewhat would be learned throughout the
aircraft design process.

As for compliance in fulfilling the requirements in Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical


Engineering, this work made possible. But, that is not only the purpose of doing these papers.
The designer of this aircraft were devoted from the very start of the process up until the end.
Every report was made sure in correct and modified by a series of revisions. And most
especially, the designer learned and adopt the practice of aircraft designing and this background
may be helpful for the future real world of designing.
