Conceptual Design of a Transport Aircraft

Sammanfattning: When flooding or earthquakes hits a country the population in the area could suffer a lot and are in a big need of help quickly. In these situations heavy transport aircraft are used around the world to help and support the victims in the area by delivering supplies. In our operational mission scenario the country Papa New guinea has been hit by an earthquake and approximately 5000 people have lost their home and are in need of help. The only problem is that there are no heavy transport airplanes available to fly from EU to this country and return without refuelling. The problem here is that the country is in a big need of help and if an airplane needs to land to refuel a lot of time is wasted. Therefore, in this task we have designed a conceptual transport aircraft that is able to fly from EU to Papa New Guinea to deliver supplies in form of food, aid, water etc. Due to the horrific accident the airplane does not have access to a runway and will have to deliver the supplies by airdrop in parachutes. In this report we will generate a requirements specification, which will state the requirements of the aircraft and be vital for the design. There will be precise estimations and calculations presented and it will include important parameters used in the Design of the aircraft.
