Typical passenger accommodation on the MD-11 is 289 (37 Business, 252 Economy) and 262 (34 Business, 228 Economy) on the DC-10-30. It is proposed to develop a derivative aircraft based on a reduced TOW and twin engines. The engines available have a static take-off thrust of 75,000 lb and a cruise s.f.c. of 0.57 bfhr.lb at M 0.82 and 35,000 ft. Carry out preliminary estimates to predict the range and Payload of the proposed aircraft. Also estimate the values of V, and V approach. ‘You can assume that a 10 ft. long fuselage section weighs 15,000 Ib, the weight of engine plus structure removed is 15,000 Ib and the DC-10-30 wing can be used. What aircraft must this proposal compete with? (Hint: assume T/W of 0.31 at take-off] DC-10-30 MD-11 Engines 3 x 52,650 Ib. 3 x 61,650 Ib.
