Abstract
ABSTRACT: Aircraft racing is fast becoming an exciting and popular sport event in the world. To meet the needs of racing airplanes, improved designs and new concepts are necessary. This project aims to design an electric powered racing aircraft. The design process started with detailed study of various existing electric powered racing aircraft models. The Rutan VariEze is one of the pioneers in this field. The VariEze is notable for popularizing the canard configuration and composite construction for homebuilt aircraft. Rutan's stated goals for the design included reduced susceptibility to departure/spin and efficient long range cruise. Keeping in mind these designing features, calculations for the mission specifications were made. Modeling is done in CATIA followed by analysis in ANSYS. The modelling work is substantiated with the help of graphs as a part of this research. The calculations thus made were helpful in the designing of the aircraft.For any aircraft it is imperative for the theoretical calculations to coincide with the software based analysis hence efforts were mostly concentrated in this direction for the designing of the Electric Powered Racing Aircraft.
