Liner project

This project was initiated by the ESTACA (Ecole Supérieure des Techniques Aéronautiques et de Construction Automobile – French School of Aerospace Technology and Automobile Design) for the 3rd year students. The aim was to design and model a high-capacity liner in CATIA V5. We were a team of 5 people working on this project during 4 months. Characteristics :

• Length: 73 meters / 239,501 ft
• Wingspan: 67,4 meters / 221,1286 ft
• Height: 9 meters / 29,5276 ft
• Wing area : 683 m² / 7351,75 ft²
• Maximum Take-Off Weight (MTOW): 470 T
• Fuel Capacity: 190 T 
• Empty Weight: 210 T
• Range: 16000 km / 8639,3089 NM  
• Thrust:  168 kN 
• Cruise speed: Mach 0.85 
• Max cruise speed: Mach 0.87 
• Cruise altitude: 10821 m /  35 500 ft
• Passengers: 650

Each characteristic was calculated to respect the stability of the aircraft (static margin <3%) and to respoect the specifications that we imposed to meet the current demand.
