Study Notes
Classification of Airplanes
- Airplanes are categorized by structural features and number of wings.
- Civil airplanes are divided by purpose into passenger, cargo, and special-purpose types.
- Passenger airplanes include local-service (up to 20 passengers), short-range (less than 2,000 km distance), medium (less than 4,000 km), long-distance (less than 9,000 km), and intercontinental (more than 11,000 km) airlines.
- Cargo airplanes are classified as light (up to 10 t), medium (up to 40 t), and heavy (more than 40 t).
- Special-purpose airplanes include ambulance, agricultural, reconnaissance (ice patrol, fish searching), fire-prevention, aerial photography, and trainer types.
- Airplanes can be classified according to aerodynamic configuration.
- Airplane aerodynamic configuration depends on the quantity and position of bearing surfaces.
- Common aerodynamic configurations: normal (classic), canard, "tailless," "flying wing," forward/rear horizontal tail, and convertible.
Normal Configuration
- This configuration has the horizontal stabilizer behind the wing.
- Most airplanes are designed with this configuration.
- Wings operate in undisturbed flow.
- Fuselage nose length is small, reducing vertical tail area, mass, and destabilizing yaw.
- Horizontal stabilizer operates in a skewed, wing-disturbed flow, reducing efficiency.
- It uses horizontal stabilizers of greater area/mass.
- Arranging the horizontal stabilizer off the disturbed flow zone can increase the mass of the vertical stabilizer and fuselage.
- The horizontal stabilizer produces negative lift for flight stability, which reduces total lift.
Unstable Configuration
- Figure 1.3 shows an unstable airplane configuration.
- Normal configurations have stable and unstable subtypes.
- Stable configuration has the wing center of pressure (CP) behind the center of mass (CM).
- Unstable configuration has the wing center of pressure (CP) in front of the center of mass (CM).
- The majority of airplanes use a stable aerodynamic configuration.
- Some modern fighters use an unstable configuration.
- The horizontal tail is arranged in a fuselage nose in front of a wing in a canard configuration.
- The horizontal stabilizer operates in undisturbed flow, enhancing efficiency.
- Positive lift is produced by the horizontal stabilizer to add to wing lift, reducing wing area and mass.
- When an airplane reaches high angles of attack, a stall occurs on the tail stabilizer, reducing its lift and overall lift.
- Force of the horizontal stabilizer is subtracted from wing lift. The wing area and mass must be increased to counteract this.
Tailless Aircraft
- Tailless aircraft have high wing stillness for torsion, improving aeroelasticity, flutter, divergence, and aileron reversal.
- They have high maneuvering performance.
- The disadvantages of the tailless configuration include the need to deflect wing trailing edge devices upwards for airplane trimming. This reduces total lift.
- Horizontal and longitudinal axes alignment of the airplane controls reduces control characteristics.
- Control characteristics worsen since elevons have a minor arm. This necessitates increasing their size and mass.
- High-lift devices reduce take-off and landing performance. This can be partially compensated by lower specific wing load and utilizing a "screen effect".
Flying Wing
- "Flying wing" configuration airplanes lack a fuselage.
- Crew, payload, engines, fuel, and equipment are housed inside the wing.
- This configuration has low air drag.
- Structural weight is lowered because total weight falls on the lifting wing.
- The destabilizing moment regarding the vertical axis is minor because of its short longitudinal size without a fuselage and reduces vertical stabilizer.
- Control surfaces are close to the center of the mass, creating complexity and reducing control.
- Automation-based control systems are required.
- Achieving static stability is possible with swept or delta wing forms.
Tail and Nose Horizontal Tails Airplane
- Airplanes can have direct control by lift with a horizontal tail in both the rear and nose of the fuselage
- The nose horizontal stabilizer and flaps produce additional lift. The pitching moment is directed to increase the angle of attack.
Convertible Airplane
- The rear horizontal stabilizer has to produce force to reduce angle of attack. The rear horizontal stabilizer has to be vertically directed to counteract this moment.
- An increment of lift is added to the nose horizontal stabilizer that allows the airplane to climb without changing center of mass or attitude.
- Aerodynamic layouts on airplanes can change attitudes without changing the flight path.
- Maneuverability is improved in airplanes.
- Vertical stabilizer as well as a nose for lateral force control systems are required.
- This design is applied exclusively to military maneuverable airplanes.
- Destabilizers on convertible airplanes reduce or eliminate the displacement of the aerodynamic center during supersonic flight.
- Maneuvering performance is increased for fighters, range is increased, and fuel consumption is reduced for supersonic passenger airplanes.
- A destabilizer is set in operational mode of vane during subsonic flight and hidden amidships of the fuselage.
Biplanes
- Biplanes are divided by the number of wings
- Biplanes have two wings one above the other.
- The lower wing is displaced backwards to reduce drag and improve the center of gravity and downward view.
- This displacement is characterized by the angle of stagger.
- A biplane's primary advantage is small wing mass because the outer wingspan is considerably smaller than a monoplane. The main wing load is smaller.
- A biplane's high drag is a major disadvantage that affects speed increases.
- A variation of a biplane is the sesquiplane, with a small lower wing than the upper one.
- Triplanes are obsolete.
- Modern airplanes generally have a monoplane design.
- A monoplane has one wing, which may have two outer wings.
- Monoplanes have lower drag but higher mass than biplanes.
Low, Mid, & High-Wing Monoplanes
- Airplanes today are monoplanes and these can be distinguished by the arrangement of the wing in relation to the fuselage.
- Low-wing monoplanes have advantages such as lift increments during take-off and landing, smaller landing gear struts, more space for high-lift devices, safety in emergency water landing.
- Disadvantages include interference drag, visibility issues, foreign object ingestion by engine air-intakes, engines touching the runway during bank landing.
