Moment-inertial representation of the Square-cube law in aircraft industry
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2019, Vol 11, Issue 0
Abstract
Flight distance depends on the dimension of the aircraft, but the designers stand against an insurmountable barrier caused by the dimension of the aircraft. In the process of analysis, alternative variants of the moment-inertial layout of fuel, engines, and commercial loads and their influence on the aircraft mass change are considered. A comparative analysis of the characteristics of the moment-inertial layouts of the main aircraft of the normal aerodynamic configuration and the aircraft made according to the flying wing scheme obtained as a result of a numerical experiment showed a clear advantage in the moment-inertia characteristics of the aircraft made according to the “Flying Wing” scheme. A number of unconditional advantages in the moment-inertial shape were revealed, such as more rational placement of the target load, fuel tanks and engines, which ensured a gain in aircraft mass up to 7-8%, only due to the rational moment-inertial layout. The moment of inertia of the aircraft depends to a fifth degree on the change in the linear type size of the aircraft.
