Hi every one,
I’m new here, and really happy to join this Discussion.
At first let me introduce myself: I’m student for master degree in China (I’m not Chinese) with major of Aircraft design, and I’m doing now my project, which is about the “estimation of take-off weight for civil aircraft”.
I have choose two text books as references for my project, from these two book I got two methods for estimation of take-off weight, and the books are:
1- Raymer P. “Aircraft design a conceptual approach” third edition, AIAA 1999, I took the method in chapter.15 for estimation of take-off weight for cargo/transport aircraft.
2- Lioyd R.Jenkinson, Paul Simpkin, and Darren Rhodes. “Civil Jet Aircraft Design”, ARNOLD 1999. I took the method in chapter.7 for the detailed estimation of take-off weight.
And I use the spreadsheet method for the calculations. (Two civil aircraft were chosen: Boeing 737-200 and Airbus A330-300).
After this introduction I’ll give some questions, and really hope some one can help me to give some notes about them,
1- What do you think about this kind of project? Any one had the same kind of work?
2- I’m looking for this technical papers:
· “Staton, R., “ Cargo/Transport statistical weight estimation equations”, Vought aircaft Rept. 2-59320/9R-50549, 1969.
· Jackson, A., “Preliminary Design weight estimation program” Aero-Commander Div., Report. 511-009, 1971.
Those technical papers have used from Raymer is book, and hope I can find in this technical papers an answer about many questions which I met during my work! If some one has them plz send them to me or point me where I can find them.
3- Any notes about this kind of work? And any more information (about the civil jet aircraft mentioned above) that can be useful for doing my work?
Thanks a lot and hope to hear from you soon.
