Landing Gear Design Integration for the TU Delft Initiator

The Delft University of Technology is developing an MDO tool for the conceptual design of transport aircraft. However, the current program is not able to investigate the influence of the undercarriage design on the weight, drag and geometry of transport aircraft. This research proposes a new design method for the undercarriage, for which a new...

Assessment of Conceptual High-Capacity Regional Turbopropeller Aircraft

Designers are motivated to create more a efficient aircraft design following the growth of the market and environmental restrictions. As a result new interest in propeller-powered aircraft as such engines show higher theoretical propulsive efficiency as compared to turbofan engines. <br/><br/>The employment of turboprop engines on commercial...
