and proceed with the determination of the

cated in Sections 4.2 and 4.3.
4.12.3 Drag Due to Other Causes
Other causes for drag may be items such as: struts,
antennas, surface gaps, extra drag caused by inlet air
spillage and by exhaust nozzle integration. Strut and
antenna drag may be estimated by assuming these to be
like small wings. For surface gap drag the reader should
consult Ref.8. For estimation of extra inlet drag the
method of Sub-section 6.2.4 may be used. For estimation
of drag due to exhaust nozzles, see Section 6.3.

Part VI4,13 DRAG ADJUSTMENTS FOR LAMINAR PLOW
During the 70's and the 80's it has become increa-
singly evident that natural laminar boundary layer flow
(instead of turbulent boundary layer flow) is practical
in many instances. The resulting reduction in friction
drag is very significant and should be accounted for in
any realistic drag prediction procedure.
The methods presented in Sections 4.3 through 4.12
assume that the boundary layer is turbulent. To adjust
the airplane zero-lift drag coefficient downward due to
the existence of laminar flow, the following procedure
is recommended:
If laminar flow is expected to occur naturally
(natural laminar flow, also called NLF) start at Step 1.
If laminar flow is being forced, by suction or by
blowing, start at Step 2.
Step 1: Determine which components of the airplane
are likely to experience NLF.
In preliminary design the following criteria
for the existence of NLF may be used:
M < 0.65 Ap < 15 degrees
c, « 0.65 Ry < 107
design
Note: by careful design it is possible to
extend these criteria. Use of advan-
ced airfoil design codes is recommen-
ded to verify that NLF is practical.
Step 2: Divide the surface area of all airplane
components which according to Step 1 will
have a certain amount of NLF in two parts:
s., and S, .

rocedure applies in the subsonic
range only!
Chapter 4 Page 1152. This procedure applies only as long as
any surface irregularities (steps, wavi-
ness and roughness) are within the limits
defined in Reference 23.
By using laminar flow control (sucking and/or blo-
wing) it is possible to achieve laminar flow under con-
ditions where natural laminar flow cannot be maintained.
References 24 - 26 provide some data on the types of sys-
tems needed to achieve controlled laminar flow and on a
number of operational considerations.
Once such systems are in place, the procedure given
above for the adjustment of friction drag would apply ex-
cept for the need to account for compressibility on the
equations for skin friction coefficient. Reference 27
should be consulted for replacement of Eqns (4.88) and
(4.90) by equations which account for compressibility ef-
fects in the transonic speed range below M=1.0
This text does not provide a method for accounting
for laminar flow in the transonic speed range above M=1.0
nor for the supersonic flow regimes. This does not mean
that laminar flow in these speed ranges is not feasible.
Research in progress at NASA Langley indicates that in
particular in the supersonic flow range extensive laminar
flow may be possible. The conditions for which this can
be achieved have not yet been firmly established.
References 28-30 provide some data on the design of
fuselage shapes which are conducive to NLF. Design de-
tails such as inspection covers, doors and windshields
must receive very careful attention, if laminar flow ca-
pability is to be retained after the airplane has been in
service for some time!

Part VI5.2 EQUIVALENT PARASITE AREAS
Figures 5.20 through 5.22 provide data on the rela-
tionship between total airplane equivalent parasite area,
‘£", the equivalent skin friction coefficient, Cy and the
total airplane wetted area, S,.,. The zero-lift airplane
drag coefficient C, is related to the equivalent para-
‘0
site area, ‘f' and to airplane wing area, S by:
cp = £/s (5.1)
‘0
The airplanes for which data are included in Figures
5.20-5.22 are described in some detail in various issues
of Reference 31. Wing areas, S, are also given in
Reference 31,
5.3 OSWALD 'S EFFICIENCY FACTORS
Table 5.1 provides data for Oswald's efficiency
factor 'e’ in the simplified airplane drag polar
equation:
2
Cyn Cp, + (Gy) /ane (5.2)
Note that high values of 'e’ are rare, but they do
occur. The reader may ‘reconstruct’ a value for ‘e’ from
any drag polar by matching the polar to Equation 5.2.
5.4 EXAMPLES OF WETTED AREA BREAKDOWNS
Tables 5.2 and 5.3 present example data for wetted
area breakdowns of fighters, commuters, transports and a
business jet. Table 5.3 also includes data on the
breakdown of equivalent parasite area with the
corresponding value of average skin friction
coefficient.
The reader should always verify any computed wetted
area breakdown with known breakdowns for similar
airplanes. Any significant differences should be
explained!
The reader is also reminded of the correlations
between total airplane wetted area and airplane take-off
weight, provided in Chapter 3 of Part I. These data
should be regarded as a source of comparative
information.

Part VIi.5 VERIFICATION OF REALISM OF COMPUTED DRAG POLARS
After estimating the drag polar of a new airplane
with the methods of Chapter 4, the following procedure
should always be followed to verify that the computed
drag data are indeed ‘in-the-ball-park’:
Step 1: Determine for which flight condition and
for which external configuration the drag
polars need to be determined.
The reader should recognize the fact that
airplane drag polars depend upon the follo-
wing factors:
A) Flight condition:
Mach Number, altitude, lift coefficient
(or angle of attack) and Reynold’s number
which also depends on a characteristic
length.
B) External configuration:
The external airplane configuration may
be influenced by:
1) flap deflection (take-off, climb,
cruise, landing or maneuvering
2) landing gear position: up or down
(gear well doors open or not?)
3) speed brake position: open or closed
4) external store disposition
5) loading door position: open or closed
6) weapons door position: open or closed
7) cooling flap position: open for take-
off, open for climb, or closed
8) propeller control position: feathered,
windmilling or normal
9) jet engine condition: windmilling or
normal
10) inlet configuration: blow-down doors,
ramps, spikes, bleed- and bypass doors
11) control surface deflection for trim
(trim drag), with AEO or OEI
Drag polars can differ significantly depending on
how these factors are selected for any given airplane in
any given flight condition.

Plot the Cy versus a data from the calcula-
tions performed with Chapter 4.
Plot the C, versus a data for the airplane
with the method of Chapter 10.
Prom steps 2 and 3 crossplot the C, versus
C, polar.
Figure 5.23 shows an example of how Steps 2,
3 and 4 are carried out.
A) From step 4, determine C, and compute:
‘0
f= cs (5.3)
B) Determine the wetted area of your air-
plane. The data for doing this are al-
ready available from the drag polar
calculations performed in Chapter 4.
‘verify’ the computed wetted area break-
down with the data of Tables 5.2 or 5.3.
Also check the total wetted area against
the trend data of Figures 3.22 in Part I.
©) Plot the ‘f' and S,,, data on one of the
graphs in figures 5.20-5.22, whichever is
applicable. Determine the Cy value for
the airplane and judge whether or not the
value of Cp is a reasonable one from an
‘aerodynamics technology’ viewpoint.
This is done by comparison to other air-
planes in the same figure.
Plot (C,)? versus Cy, and determine
acy/a(c,)? as indicated in Figure 5.23.
Compute: e = (na(ac,/dc, )? (5.4)
Compare this value of ‘e’ with that for si-
milar airplanes in Table $.1. I£ there is a
large difference, check the calculations or
explain why the airplane might be different!

The purpose of this chapter is to present rapid me-
thods for the prediction of installed power and/or thrust
in airplanes. The assumption will be made that the fol-
lowing characteristics of the engine are known:
1. For piston engines: manufacturers shaft horse-
power data for a range of altitudes and throttle
settings.
2. For gas generators: manufacturers shaft horse-
power and thrust data for a range of altitudes,
Mach numbers and throttle settings.
3. For jet engines: manufacturers thrust data for
a range of altitudes, Mach numbers and throttle
settings.
These engine manufacturers data (also called unin-
stalled data) are based on ideal (teststand) conditions
and do not normally include the following effects:
A. Effect of the inlet (air induction system) on
pressure recovery, on drag and therefore on en-
gine performance.
Note: A bellmouth inlet system, assuring very
high inlet pressure recovery, is frequently used
to determine engine manufacturers data. Fig. 6.1
shows a typical teststand arrangement.
B. Effect of power extraction (needed to run essen-
tial airplane services) on engine performance.
Note: Power extraction to run essential engine
services ARE normally included in engine
manufacturers data.
Cc. Effect of the exhaust or nozzle configuration
on drag and on engine performance.
Note: The engine manufacturer uses a nozzle
configuration which is usually different from
that preferred by the airframer. See Figure 6.1.

as follows:

Part VI Chapter 6 Page 1406.1 POWER EXTRACTION REQUIREMENTS
To operate an airplane in any phase of its mission a
certain amount of electrical, mechanical and pneumatic
power may be required. These power requirements are nor-
mally satisfied by the engines. For that reason they are
referred to as power extraction requirements. In some
cases power sources other than the propulsion system (for
example an APU) are used.
The magnitude of power extraction requirements dif-
fers from cne airplane to another and from one mission
phase to another.
In this section a rapid method for estimating power
extraction requirements is presented for:
6.1.1 Piston-propeller driven airplanes
6.1.2 Turbopropeller and jet driven airplanes
S.1.1 Piston-propeller Driven Airplanes
In this type of airplane the following power extrac-
tion requirements may be present:
+ Prech (6.1)
where: P,) = the electrical power extraction in shp
Pextr ~ Per
= the mechanical power extraction in shp
Electrical power extraction requirements, P,, follow
from the essential electrical services which are required
during any given mission phase. To determine electrical
power requirements, an ‘electric power load profile’ must
be prepared. Using p.320 of Part IV as an example, the
reader should prepare an electric power load profile for
his airplane.
From this electric power load profile the electrical
power extraction requirement, P,, is determined as:
Pei 7 -00134(VA,15)/ge, in Shp (6.2)
el
where: VA,,, = the maximum required electrical power in
Volt-amperes as obtained from the electric power
load profile.
rt VI Chapter 6 Page 141Tgen = 0-9 is the efficiency of the electric power
generator(s) which are assumed to be driven off
the engine accessory drive pad. Modern generators
can achieve efficiencies of 0.90 to 0.95,
Lacking a detailed electric power load profile, the
Pe) Values suggested in Table 6.1 may be used. The rea~
der should also consult Chapter 7 in Part IV for more in-
formation on electrical system power capabilities.
Mechanical power extraction requirements, Pi.., de~
pend on the systems which are required for the operation
of the airplane in a given mission phase. Examples of
such system may be:
fuel pumps, hydraulic pumps, cooling fans, heating/
airconditioning system, pressurization system, spray
system (in agricultural airplanes).
The reader should prepare a list of those systems
which require the generation of mechanical power. The
total mechanical power required can be written as:
P, P, (6.3)

where: Ps, = the mechanical power required to drive the
fuel pumps. This may be found from:

The assumption has been made here that the
fuel pumps are operating on a pressure dif-
ferential of 50 psi. Information on pumps
may be found in Ref.34. Data on fuel sys-
tems is provided in Chapter 5 of Part IV.

pumps should be included in P.,.

pends on the hydraulic flow and pressure diffe-
rential needs of the airplane hydraulic system.
Section 6.2 of Part IV contains a discussion on
the sizing of hydraulic systems. As indicated in
Part IV, a hydraulic system load analysis must be
performed to find the total hydraulic fluid flow
which is required. Having also selected the hy-
draulic system operating pressure (Part IV, Ch.6),
the hydraulic system shaft horsepower requirements
are found from:
P, = 0. 0006(ApL ar) “Vnyar? "hp (6.5)
hyde
where: Apivg = the pressure differential (psi),
over which the hydraulic system operates.
This is roughly equal to the system opera-
ting pressure which ranges from 1,500 to
5000 psi. See Chapter 6 in Part IV.
Vayae = the hydraulic fluid flow rate in
gallons/min (gpm). Page 308 in Part IV

draulic fluid flow rates.

ficiency. This may be taken to be 0.75 in
modern systems.
Note: the power required for electrically
driven hydraulic pumps should be included
in P.,-

Pother = the sum of all ‘other’ mechanical power
extraction requirements. Determination of these
‘other’ mechanical power extraction needs is left
to the reader. The best way to proceed is to make
a complete list of all ‘other’ mechanical power
requirements for on-board systems. By using ap-
propriate efficiency values, the required value of
‘to be extracted’ engine shaft horsepower, Posner
can then be estimated. Ref.34 is a good source
for general mechanical system data. Part IV con-
tains discussions of various ‘other’ types of
Part VI Chapter 6 Page 143system which may be required in airplanes.
Lacking a detailed listing of mechanical power ex-
traction requirements, the values suggested for P,.., in
Table 6.1 may be used.
The effect of P, as determined from Eqn.6.1 on
extr
installed engine performance is discussed in Section 6.4.

preparation of an electric power load profile as shown on
p.320 of Part IV. Lacking such detailed information the
Pg) values suggested in Table 6.1 may be used.
Poneum
Some airplanes may require extensive radar and elec-
tronic warfare equipment. Examples are the Boeing E-3A,
the Boeing E-6, the Grumman E-2C and the Lockheed P3v.
In those cases large electrical power requirements may
exist: 600 kVA in the case of the Boeing E-6!
Normally, these power requirements are satisfied by
the installation of directly driven generators on the
propulsion installation. If these power requirements
cannot be satisfied by power extraction from the regular
propulsion system separate power sources may have to be
installed.
Mechanical power extraction requirements, Piooy,
may be determined with the method of Sub-section 6.1.1,
via a listing of all required mechanical services. Lack-
ing a detailed power extraction calculation, the values
suggested in Table 6.1 may be used.
Pneumatic power extraction requirements, Poneum
are determined by those systems which are driven by bleed
air form the main engines. Typical of such services are:
de-icing and anti-icing systems, heating and aircon-
ditioning systems, engine starting systems (for ground
start and for air restart), pressurization of fuel tanks,
for flap deployment (For example, the B-747 leading edge
devices) and for water system pressurization.

installed power or thrust is discussed in Section 6.4.
Part VI Chapter 6 Page 146$,2 INLET SIZING AND INTEGRATION
In preliminary design the process of inlet sizing
consists of the determination of the inlet area and the
shaping of the duct leading from the inlet area to the
engine compressor face.
The inlet must be sized in such a way that it is
‘matched’ to the airflow requirements of the engine.
Figure 6.2 shows a generalized inlet flow situation.
Note the following important areas:
A,: streamtube cross section at infinity, also
called the inlet capture area
streamtube cross section at the inlet, also
called inlet area or cowl capture area
streamtube cross section at the engine station,
also called internal area (note that this cross
section is determined by the maximim cross sec-
tion of the engine plus tolerances for cooling
and for installation)
A
streamtube cross section at the exit or exhaust,
also called the nozzle area
‘e
Inlet operation is often characterized by the inlet
flow ratio, A,/A,-
During static ground operation, the inlet flow ratio
is infinite. Inlet lip flow separation is a major pro-
blem in such a case. Figure 6.3a shows such a Situation.
Frequently an auxiliary inlet is required to allow enough
air into the inlet. This is done with a variable inlet
geometry feature. Figure 6.3a shows several options.
the inlet is normal-
ly matched so that the flow ratio is in the range of 0.5
to 0.8 The inlet operates at its peak performance (high
pressure recovery). Figure 6.3b shows this situation.
In some inlets, external surface area is present at
points ahead of the inlet: see Figure 6.3c. If external
surface area exists ahead of the inlet, the flow ratio is
selected to be closer to 1.0 to prevent inlet separation.
If no wetted surface area exists ahead of the inlet, the
flow ratio is in the 0.5 - 0.8 range.
In_a_climb, the inlet delivers more air than the en-
gine requires, excess air will be spilled, resulting in

situation is shown in Figure 6.3d. If spillage drag be-
comes too high, bleedair doors may be required: Fig. 6.34
shows one such option.
At_very hich speeds, such as occur in a high speed
dive, the flow ratio is much smaller than 1.0. Such low
flow ratios, particularly in the presence of large wetted
areas in front of the inlet can lead to inlet flow sepa-
ration resulting in compressor surge. Figure 6.3e shows
such a situation.
If an inlet is undersized (such that it does not de-
liver enough air to the engine), unsatisfactory engine
operation may result, causing deficiencies in thrust and/
or power.
The objective of an inlet is to deliver air to the
engine such that:
1. The correct amount of airflow is delivered to
the engine
2, Pressure losses are minimized: pressure losses
reduce thrust
3, Inlet flow distortion is minimized (i.e. as much
as possible uniform flow is realized)
4. Inlet flow swirl is minimized or matched to the
compressor requirements
Fundamentally, two types of inlets exist:
1. Straight through inlets: see Figure 6.4a
This inlet type is used for engines with axial
flow compressors, one-sided centrifugal flow
compressors and supercharged piston engines.
2. Plenum chamber inlets: see Figure 6.4b
This inlet type is used for engines with two-
sided centrifugal flow compressors and with
normally aspirated piston engines.
The detailed design of inlets is a strong function
of how the engine (s) is (are) being integrated into the
airframe.
The following subjects will be discussed:
Part VI Chapter 6 Page 149Part VI Chapter 6 Page 1506.2.1 General inlet arrangements: presents a discus-
sion of different types of inlet arrangement
6.2.2 Inlet sizing: presents a rapid method for es-
timating the required inlet area, A,
6.2.3 Inlet pressure loss estimation: presents a
rapid method for estimating inlet pressure
losses
6.2.4 Inlet drag estimation: presents a rapid method
for estimating inlet drag
Selection of the correct type of inlet and the
associated inlet geometry has important consequences to
the realism of any proposed airplane design. For that
reason, inlet design should receive considerable
attention in the early design phases of an airplane.

Part VI Chapter 6 Page 151§.2.1 General Inlet Arrangements
The purpose of this sub-section is to present a num-
ber of example inlet arrangements as well as comments re-
garding their applications.
The information is organized as follows:
1 Piston engine inlets
2 Turbopropeller inlets
3 Jet engine inlets: subsonic
4 Jet engine inlets: supersonic
6.2.1.1 Piston engine inlets
Figures 6.5a and 6.5b show several examples of pis-
ton engine inlet arrangements.
Figures 6.5a show that inlets for normally aspirated
piston engines are of the plenum type. Most plenum in-
stallations do not completely seal off all air: cooling
air must be routed to those engine components which need
cooling for proper operation. After taking care of the
cooling function the air is dumped overboard, preferably
such that drag is not increased.
Engines with turbochargers tend to have straight
through type inlets as shown in Figures 6. 5b.
2
Figure 6.6 shows several examples of turbopropeller
engine (gas generator) inlets. Those shown are all of
the straight through type. An example of a plenum type
inlet for a turbopropeller installation was shown in
Figure 6.4b.
The pressure recovery of the so-called concentric
inlet (Figure 6.6d) can be strongly influenced by the de-
sign of the propeller airfoils which are in front of the
inlet. Icing of such inlets is a major problem and re-
quires detailed attention in the development of inlet
anti- and de-icing systems. See Part IV, Chapter 10 for
a general discussion of the icing problem.
6.2.1.3 Jet engine inlets: subsonic
Figures 6.7 show several example inlets for subsonic
jet engine installations. Note the following types:

Figure 6.7b: bifurcated, straight through inlet
Figure 6.7c: podded nacelle inlet
Figure 6.74: pitot inlet
Figure 6.7e: NACA submerged inlet
Plenum inlets (Figure 6.7a) are used mainly in com-
bination with double-sided centrifugal flow compressors.
Bifurcated inlets (Figure 6.7b) are used primarily
in single engine installations with side inlets. Flow
characteristics of bifurcated inlets are complicated, es-
pecially at high sideslip angles: inlet buzz and reversed
flow on one side are phenomena which need to be ‘designed
out’ of such inlets. Ref.32 contains more information.
Podded nacelle type inlets (Figure 6.7c) have become
popular because of easy engine access. When using wing
mounted engine pods there is an additional wing weight
advantage due to inertial relief.
Pitot type inlets (Figure 6.7d) have been applied
to many fighter airplanes. They are not influenced by
the flowfield of other airplane components. However,
they require very long ducts which causes extra weight
and loss in pressure recovery.
The NACA submerged type inlet shown in Figure 6.7e
is not very efficient for use with propulsion installati-
ons. However, when used for inlets of auxiliary systems
(APU, heating and avionics bay cooling) they are quite
acceptable and frequently used.
Important Note: Except for pitot and podded nacelle
type inlets, all jet engine inlets must be equipped with
so-called boundary layer diverters (or b.1. splitters).
Figure 6.8 shows two b.1. diverter installations in some
detail. If such boundary layer diverters are not used,
large pressure recovery losses (thus losses in thrust)
will be incurred.
A major consideration in jet fighter inlet design is
the behavior of the inlet at very high angles of attack
and sideslip. Compressor stall and engine surging are
easily induced in such conditions. Ref.32 should be con-
sulted for data on high angle of attack operation.
In subsonic installations it is usually best to keep
the inlet as short as possible: long ducts translate into
weight and pressure recovery losses. In jet fighters and
in jet trainers long ducts cannot always be avoided.

Figure 6.10 shows three fundamentally different
types of supersonic inlet:
Fig.6.10a Pitot inlet
Fig.6.10b External compression inlet
Fig.6.10c Mixed (or external/interal)
compression inlet
Pressure recovery in supersonic inlets is a strong
function of the number and types of shock employed. The
theoretical pressure recovery attainable with oblique and
with conical shocks are shown in Figure 6.11.
Proper inlet design is extremely critical to super-
sonic installations as illustrated in Figure 6.12, Note
that the inlet is responsible for 75 percent of the total
installed thrust! A long inlet duct in supersonic engine
installations is often needed to assure smooth flow dece-
leration (to around M=0.4 at the compressor face) and to
assure full use of the favorable pressure distribution in
the inlet duct. Figure 6.13 shows the effect of Mach
number on thrust distribution. Note that at subsonic
speeds, the engine itself (including a convergent nozzle)
produces virtually all the thrust. Note also, that at
supersonic Mach numbers the engine contribution itself
can become negative!
Supersonic inlets frequently require a considerable
amount of variable geometry devices. Examples are shown
in Figures 6.13. For more information on the operation
of such inlets, see References 12 and 32.

Part VI Chapter 6 Page 1646.2.2 Inlet Sizing
The purpose of this sub-section is to present inlet
sizing methods for:
+1 Piston engine installations
+2 Turbopropeller installations
+3 Jet engine installations: subsonic
+4 Jet engine installations: supersonic
For each of these inlet installations, the general
flow picture of Figure 6.2 will be used to identify the
required inlet area, A..
6,2,2,1 Piston engine installations
Figure 6.5 shows typical inlet configurations for
piston engine installations. To determine the required
inlet area, A, it is first required that the engine air
flow requirements be determined.
Inlet air for piston engines is required fo:
1. Combustion 2. Cooling
The mass flow rate required for a piston engine may
be estimated as follows:
m= Tomb t Boor (in slugs/sec) (6,10)
where: m,,, = the mass flow rate required for combus-
tion. It may be estimated froi
Reomp 7 (0-000062) (SEP), ag (6.11)
where: (SHP) sp (6,12)
reqd ~ Preqa
where: P,gqq is the horsepower required for
the flight condition being analyzed.
Part VII contains methods for deter-
mining P, gq for a variety of flight
conditions.
n,, is the propeller efficiency.
P
Section 6.4 and Ref.15 show how to obtain data for
Part VI Chapter 6 Page 165propeller efficiency. In preliminary design, first ap-
proximations are:
a, = 0.85 for cruise
0.80 for climb
0,70 for take-off
In Equation (6.11) it is assumed that:
1, that the engine efficiency in converting che-
mical energy in the fuel to shafthorsepower
(SHP) is 30 percent.
2. that the fuel/air ratio used is the stochiome-
trically required value.
™eool
Its magnitude depends on the type of engine:
= the mass flow rate required for cooling.
For aircooled airplane engines the mass flow rate
required for engine cooling may be estimated from:
Moo91 7 0-00056(SHP), 24g in slugs/sec (6.13)
where: (SHP),.,q follows from Eqn. (6,12).
In preliminary design, SHP,, may be used
for (SEP), egg:
Detailed methods for estimating m,,,) for
aircooled engines are given in References
35 and 36.
For liquid cooled airplane engines the required
mass flow rate for the radiator depends strongly
on the type of liquid cooling used. Chapter 9 in
Reference 8 and Reference 37 should be consulted.
For preliminary design purposes it is suggested to
use Eqn. (6.10) for liquid cooled engines also.
Considerable experience with liquid cooled engine
installations was obtained in WWII. In many cases
it proved possible to design the radiator system
in such a way that negligible losses were incur-
red. However, this was achieved at a considerable
increase in weight and complexity.
Part VI Chapter 6 Page 166Knowing the total air mass flow rate, the size of
the required inlet area may be estimated from:
A, = m/e0, (6.14)
where: m, follows from Eqn. (6.10),
p is the air density in slugs/ft® and
U, is the steady state airspeed in fps.
Note: Eqn. (6.14) is valid for incompressible flow!
The reader must determine which conditions for air
density, p and airspeed, U,, yield the largest
value for inlet area, A. Since zero airspeed
represents an anomalie, lift-off speed or climbout
speeds are normally used. Extra inlet doors (or
cowl flaps) may be required for prolonged static
and taxi operations.
To minimize the drag caused by momentum loss in the
cooling air, careful design of the ducting leading from
the inlet to the overboard dumping point is required.
References 8 and 38 should be consulted for more details.
Reference 39 contains example calculations for inlet area
sizing for piston engines.
6.2.2.2 Turbopropeller installations
Figure 6.6 shows typical inlet configurations for
turbopropeller engines.
To determine the required inlet area, A, it is first
necessary to determine the engine air flow requirements.
Inlet air for turbopropeller engines (also called:
gas generators) is required for:
1, combustion and mass flow 2. cooling
The mass flow rate for turbopropeller engines may be
estimated from:
m= 1,
gas * "cool (6.15)
Part VI Chapter 6 Page 167where: m,,, = the air flow rate required by the engine
for combustion and for mass flow. In a gas gene-
rator the mass flow rate is much larger than the

The required inlet area may be estimated from:
AG = m,/pUy (6,18)
where: m, is found from Eqn. (6.15).
Note: Eqn. (6.18) is valid for incompressible flow!
The reader must determine which conditions for air
density, p and airspeed, U, yield the largest value for
inlet area Ay:
Since zero airspeed represents an anomalie, lift-off
speed or climbout speeds are normally used. Extra inlet
doors (variable inlet geometry) may be needed for prolon-
ged static and taxi operations.
6.2.2.3 Jet engine installations: subsonic
Figure 6.7 shows examples of subsonic jet engine
inlets.
To determine the required inlet area, A, it is first
Part VI Chapter 6 Page 168necessary to determine the engine airflow requirements.
Inlet air for jet engines is required for:
1, combustion and mass flow 2. cooling
The mass flow rate required for a subsonic jet
engine installation may be found from:

where: m,,, = the air flow rate required for the engine.
In jet engines the flow rate required for combus-
tion is mich less than that needed for mass flow
Manufacturers engine data normally include the ma-
ximim mass flow Mya required by the engine.
Reference 31 also lists those flow rates. Tables

for a range of jet engines. In preliminary design
the following approximation may be used:
"gas ~ Kgas"70
where: k,,, = 0.0003 for BPR values of 0 to 1.0
(6.20)
0.0007 for BPR values of 1.0 to 2.0
0.0009 for BPR values of 2.0 to 4.0
0.0011 for BPR values of 4.0 to 6.0

In preliminary design it may be assumed that:
Meo91 = 9+ 06% gas (6.21)
The required inlet area, A, may be estimated from:
AQ = m,/eU, (6.22)
where: m, is found from Eqn. (6.19)
p and U, are determined by the flight condition.
Note: Eqn. (6.22) is valid for compressible flow.
Part VI Chapter 6 Page 169The inlet size for most subsonic airplanes is dictated by
low speed requirements. For that reason, Eqn. (6.22) is
applicable to preliminary inlet sizing for subsonic jets.

Figures 6.9 and 6.10 show examples of supersonic jet
engine inlet installations.
Inlet air for jet engines in supersonic installati-
ons is required for:
1. combustion and mass flow 2. cooling
3. inlet boundary layer bleed
The mass flow rate required for a jet engine in a
supersonic installation may be estimated from:
= Mas * ™coo1 * ™b1b
where: m,, = the air flow rate required for the engine.
In jet engines the air flow rate required for com-
bustion is much less than that for mass flow.
Manufacturers engine data normally include the
maximm mass flow, mj,, required by the engine.
Refgrence 31 also lists those flow rates. Tables
6.8"- 6,11" list mass flow rate values for a range
of engines. Since most supersonic inlets must al-
so operate at subsonic speeds, the take-off mass
flow rates normally size the inlet area. For this

that supersonic installations require fairly long
inlets, the resulting build-up of boundary layer
air must be bled away before it reaches the com-
pressor. Figure 6.14 shows such a boundary layer
bleed system. The need for boundary layer bleed
¥ see Part I
Part VI Chapter 6 Page 170translates into a need for extra inlet capture
area as shown in Eqn. (6.25).
The inlet area, A, for a supersonic inlet is as de~
fined in Figure 6.15. The required inlet area, A, for a
supersonic jet engine installation may be estimated from:
A, = (1.08mq /pU,) (1 + ky) (My ~ 0.87) (6.25)
where: ma follows from Eqn. (6.19)
p and U, are determined by the flight condition
which in the case of a supersonic installation is taken
to be the design supersonic cruise condition or the take~
off condition. If the latter results in a larger inlet
area than the former, the possibility of using extra in-
let doors for subsonic operation must be weighed against
‘oversizing’ the inlet for supersonic conditions.

Inlet pressure losses in turn have a detrimental effect
on installed engine power or thrust. Methods for deter-
mining the effect of inlet pressure losses on installed
Power or thrust are presented in Section 6.4.
Part VI Chapter 6 Page 173The information is organized as follows:
1 Piston engine inlets

Figure 6.5a shows plenum inlets for piston engines.
In well designed piston engine plenum installations,
the inlet losses may be held to less than 2 percent. For
preliminary design purposes it is acceptable to use:
Vini/ine 7 99% (6.33)
Figure 6.5b shows ‘straight through’ inlets for pis-
ton engine applications. The method of 6.2.3.3 for sub-
sonic jet inlets may be used to estimate pressure losses.
6.2.3.2 Turbopropeller inlets
For plenum inlets:
For turbopropellers with plenum inlet installations
(See Figure 6.6), the pressure losses may be estimated
with the plenum inlet method of 6.2.3.3.

ted for more details on jet engine plenum inlets.

Page 1796.2.4 Inlet Extra Drag Estimation
The purpose of this sub-section is to present rapid
methods for estimation of the so-called inlet extra drag,
cy » which was considered a part of Cp in Sub-
inlextra mise
section 4.12.3, The inlet extra drag considered here is
that contribution of inlet drag not accounted for in Ch.4
as a result of wetted areas or as a result of cross sec—
tional area distribution.
Inlet pressure recovery and any associated loss in
inlet pressure have been discussed in Sub-section 6.2.3.
The effect of these losses on installed power and thrust
is discussed in Section 6.4.
The extra inlet drag discussion is organized as in
the following manner:
+1 Piston engine inlets
+2 Turbopropeller inlets
+3 Jet engine inlets: subsonic
+4 Jet engine inlets: supersonic
6.2.4.1 Piston engine inlet extra drag
In well designed piston engine installations, the
inlet extra drag should be negligible. If the inlet is
undersized, spillage drag may result. Estimation of in-
let spillage drag is discussed in 6.2.4.3.
6.2.4.2 Turbopropeller inlet extra drag
In properly designed turbopropeller inlets the inlet
extra drag should be negligible. If the inlet is under-
sized, spillage drag may result. Estimation of inlet
spillage drag is discussed in 6.2.4.3.
6.2.4.3 Jet engine inlet extra drag: subsonic
For properly designed subsonic jet inlets the inlet
extra drag should be negligible. However, if the inlet
is undersized for some flight condition, spillage drag
may result. The inlet extra drag due to spillage may be
estimated from:

Hinz 48 defined in Eqn. (6.35).
Equation (6.43) applies up to the critical Mach num-
ber. To reduce inlet drag above M..4,, it is necessary
to shape the inlet lips so that they in fact have proper-
ties similar to high speed airfoils. Reference 32 con-
tains discussions on inlet lip design at high subsonic
Mach numbers.
$.2.4.4 Jet engine inlet extra drag: supersonic
In the supersonic case there are three sources for
extra inlet drag:
1. Spillage drag (called additive drag)
2. Bypass drag
3. Boundary layer diverter drag
4. Boundary layer bleed drag
Figure 6.24 shows where these drag types are caused
in a supersonic inlet. All three drag types depend on
the state of the shock systems in the inlet. Detailed
presentations of methods for estimating these drag con-
tributions are beyond the scope of this text. Ref.12
contains methods for estimating these drag increments.
Since Ref.12 uses A, as the inlet drag reference area,
all results must be multiplied by A/S.

Part VI Chapter 6 Page 1826.3 EXHAUST OR NOZZLE SIZING AND INTEGRATION
In preliminary design the process of exhaust or noz-
zle sizing and integration consists of:
1, the determination of exhaust and/or nozzle areas
the integration of the exhausts and/or nozzles
into the airplane
Figure 6.2 defines the nozzle exit area, A,. Note
from Fig.6.77 in Part III that in turbofan engines the
nozzle area consists of two concentric areas, located at
different longitudinal stations.
Integration of exhausts and/or nozzles into the air-
plane configuration must be done with care! Without such
care, major increases in drag can be the result.
The information in this section is presented as:
6.3.1 General exhaust/nozzle arrangements
6.3.2 Exhaust/nozzle sizing
6.3.3 Estimation of exhaust/nozzle extra drag
The reader should also refer to Part III, Chapter 6
for examples of engine exhaust/nozzle installations.
6.3.1 General Exhaust/Nozzle Arrangements
The purpose of this sub-section is to present exam-
ples of exhaust/nozzle configurations which are being
used in a number of airplanes.
The information is organized as follows:
3.1.1 Piston engine exhausts
+2 Turbopropeller exhausts
1.3 Jet engine nozzles: subsonic
1.4 Jet engine nozzles: supersonic
6.3.1.1 Piston engine exhausts
Figure 6.5 shows several examples of piston engine
exhaust configurations. In many older installations the
engine exhaust is ‘dumped’ overboard in the manner shown
in the ‘upper’ Figure 6.5a: this is very inefficient and
causes extra drag. A lower drag installation is the one
Part VI Chapter 6 Page 183shown in the ‘lower’ Figure 6.5a. Figure 6.25 shows the
difference between a ‘low drag’ and ‘high drag’ case.
The reader must keep in mind that lowering drag is
not always good. If the lower drag is obtained at the
cost of increased weight and complexity, a ‘desian trade
study must provide the information on basis of which the
decision is made to proceed one way or the other.
The installations of Figures 6.5b represent modern
concepts which take maximum advantage of the momentum ex-
change between inlet, combustion process, cooling requi-
rements and exhaust.
6.3.1.2 Turbopropeller nozzles
Figure 6.6 shows several examples of turbopropeller
engine (gas generator) exhaust installations. Note the
trend toward exhausting ‘parallel’ to the local stream.
In many contemporary installations the exhaust pipes
are arranged as shown in Figure 6.26. This creates much
extra drag. The ‘design trade study’ comments made under
6.3.1.1 also apply here!
6.3.1.3 Jet engine nozzles: subsonic
Figure 6.7 shows several example of nozzle instal-
lations for subsonic jet engines. Note that all nozzles
are of the convergent type. In subsonic flow, convergent
nozzles are the only efficient nozzle configuration.
6.3.14 :
Figure 6.27 shows a typical supersonic exhaust con-
figuration. Depending on the flight Mach number of the
airplane the nozzle should have a different geometry.
Figure 6.28 illustrates the effect of flight condition on
desired nozzle configuration. Note the convergent/diver-
gent shape of nozzles at supersonic speeds.
The integration of nozzles into the after body of a
supersonic airplane is particularly critical to drag.
Pigure 6.29 shows a number of nozzle/airframe integration
concepts with commentary about the effect on drag. Here
also, the consequence of weight, cost and complexity must
be weighed against aerodynamic efficiency.

Part VI Chapter 6 Page 187methods for the ‘sizing’ of exhausts and/or nozzle exit
areas. Figure 6.30 shows the definition of important
nozzle exit and throat areas.
The material in this sub-section is presented as:
+2.1 Piston engine exhausts
+2.2 Turbopropeller nozzles
:2.3 Jet engine nozzles: subsonic
12.4 Jet engine nozzles: supersonic
6.3.2.1 Piston engine exhausts
The exit size of piston engine exhausts is normally
defined by the engine manufacturer. The exit area of the
exhaust(s) are dependent on the cross sectional areas of
the engine exhaust valve ports. Reference 37 contains
detailed descriptions of this aspect of engine design.
The airframer may wish to use the exhaust manifold
for purposes of heat extraction (by routing cabin air
through a heat exchanger which is wrapped around the ex-
haust manifold). The airframer may also add noise sup-
pressors and/or ejectors to the exhaust stack(s).
Refs 38 and 40 as well as Section 6.9 in Part III
should be consulted for more details on piston engine
exhaust configurations.
As a first approximation to the sizing of the total
exit area, it is suggested to use an exhaust stack dia-
meter given by:
4a, (0.0038)SHP,,,. in inches (6.45)
exhst ~
If this diameter becomes too large, it is best to
split the exhaust manifold into two or more small stacks.
6.3.2.2 Turbopropeller nozzles
Because turbopropellers are used only in subsonic
flight conditions, the nozzles are always of the conver-
gent type as seen in Figure 6.28.
As a first approximation to the sizing of the nozzle
exit area, it is suggested to use:
a = (0,016)SHP». in inches (6.46)
‘exhnoz
In many turboprop engines the nozzle area is divided
over two exhausts. Engine manufacturers specify the ex-
Part VI Chapter 6 Page 188haust area on the basis of their performance guarantees.
6.3.2.3
In subsonic applications the exhaust nozzle is near-
ly always of the convergent type as shown in Figure 6.28.
The exhaust nozzle size and its configuration depend
strongly on the following factors:
1. maximum take-off thrust 2. by-pass ratio
3. need for afterburning 4. design Mach number
The reader should use engine manufacturers data for
exhaust nozzle areas. References 12, 33 and 41 provide
more details on the subject of nozzle design.
6.3.2.4 Jet engine nozzles: supersonic
The exhaust nozzle size and its configuration depend
strongly on the following factors:
1, maximum take-off thrust | 2. by-pass ratio
3. need for afterburning 4. design Mach number
The usual nozzle configuration employs variable geo-
metry: convergent for subsonic flight and convergent /di-
vergent for supersonic flight: see Pig. 6.28.
Engine manufacturers data should be used to find the
size of the subsonic nozzle exit area. Figure 6.28 can
be used to estimate the required exit area of the diver-
gent part of the nozzle in its supersonic position.
Sizing of the length of the convergent part of the
nozzle is not critical as long as it is not too short: a
length of twice the entry diameter should be sufficient.
Sizing of the length of the diverging part of the
nozzle is critical if separation is to be prevented. In
preliminary design, a length of at least three times the
nozzle throat diameter should be adequate.
References 12, 33 and 41 provide more details on the
subject of nozzle design.
Part vI Chapter 6 Page 1896.3.3 Estimation of Exhaust/Nozzle Extra Drag
In this sub-section rapid methods for estimating the
extra drag caused by exhaust and/or nozzle installations.
The material is organized as follows:
3.3.1 Piston engines
3.3.2 Turbopropeller engines
3.3.3 Jet engines: subsonic
3.3.4 Jet engines: supersonic
6.3.3.1 Pist
Figure 6.31 illustrates the drag increments associa-
ted with two piston engine exhaust configurations. In
preliminary design it is suggested to use drag increments
on the basis of similarity of the proposed installation
with those of Figure 6.31.
3.3.2
If the exhaust configuration of a turbopropeller is
similar to the one shown in Figure 6.26, the drag incre-
ments of 6.3.3.1 may be used as a guide.
If the exhaust configuration is similar to those of
Figure 6.6, the additional drag penalty caused by the ex-
haust may be negligible.
6.3.3.3 ines: sub:
For engines mounted in nacelle pods, no additional
drag increment is incurred: the nacelle drag is accounted
for separately.
For engines mounted in a fuselage and exhausting in
the rear, extra drag may be incurred. Figure 6.32 shows
several nozzle concepts used for subsonic applications.
Each concept has a drag penalty associated with it. The
drag penalty may be found with the help of Table 6.2.
The airplane drag increment due to the nozzle may be
found from:
acy = (AC
noz noztype
)Seys/S (6.47)
Note: Eqn. (6.47) assumes that only ONE nozzle is at
the rear of the fuselage. If more are present, the drag
increases accordingly.

Page 191If more than one engine exhausts at the rear of the
fuselage, a difficult ‘aerodynamic fairing’ problem be-
tween the engines can arise. Figure 6.33 shows a number
of possibilities. The drag increments due to such 'fai-
red’ nozzle arrangements may be estimated from Fig. 6.33
Note that longer fairings reduce the drag of the instal-
lation. However: a longer fairing also implies a weight
increase: as usual, a trade study must be performed to
arrive at the correct decision.
6.3.3.4 Jet engines: supersonic
The supersonic drag increment of nozzles is strongly
dependent on the method used to ‘fair’ the rear end of
the airplane, especially in the area of the variable ge-
ometry nozzle. No simple method can be given for the es-
timation of nozzle drag increment. References 9, 12, 33
and 41 should be consulted for details.

The purpose of this section is to present rapid me-
thods for estimating the installed performance of engines
in airplanes. The material is presented as follows:
6.4.1 Propeller Driven Airplanes
6.4.2 Jet Driven Airplanes
6.4.1 Propeller Driven Airplanes
Propeller driven airplanes can use different methods
for driving the propeller. In this text the following
possibilities will be presented:
+4.1,1 Piston propeller driven airplanes
:4,1.2 Turbopropeller driven airplanes
1,1 Pist
The installed performance of piston engines is nor-
mally stated in terms of available, installed power, P,,.
In some applications, the static thrust obtainable
from a propeller may be important. Methods for finding
static propeller thrust for a given amount of available
shaft-horse-power are given in Reference 15.
The following step-by-step procedure is suggested
for finding available, installed power, Pay
Step 1: Determine the flight conditions for which
the installed power available calculation
is to be made. This consists of the selec-
tion of altitude, temperature and airspeed.
Step 2: From engine manufacturers data determine the
available shaft horse power, SHP,, for each
flight condition. Figure 6.34 shows a typi-
cal example of such data.

found from propeller data. Methods
to compute propeller efficiency for
conventional propellers are provided
in References 15, 42, 43, 44 and 45.
NOTE: a rapid method for the determination of the
diameter of propellers was given in Chapter 5 of Part II.
External noise considerations were not a part of that me-
thod. To assure that a propeller meets FAR 36 noise re-
quirements, the method of References 46, 47 and 48 may be
used. For preliminary design purposes, as long as the
propeller tip speed is kept below a Mach number of 0.85,
noise certification should not be a problem.
Ngear is the gearbox efficiency.
For direct drive installations use:
"gear ~ 1-°
For geared installations with a well
designed gearbox, use:
Ngear 7 9-98
Step 4: Plot P,, versus speed and altitude. Refer
to Figure 7.1 in Chapter 7 for an example.
$.4.1.2 Turbopropeller driven airplanes
Installed turbopropeller performance is presented in
terms of installed, available power P...
Most turboprops also deliver a remnant thrust, T,
which varies with the flight condition. For performance
calculations this remnant thrust is usually converted to
power. This will be done in this text also.
For some applications it is necessary to know the
static thrust available from a turboprop installation.
For such cases the static remnant thrust is added to the
static propeller thrust. Methods for determining static
propeller thrust are given in Reference 15.

The purpose of this chapter is to present example
data for installed power and thrust. The information is
presented as follows:
7.1 Propeller driven airplanes
7.2 Jet driven airplanes
1.1 PROPELLER DRIVEN AIRPLANES
In this section, two examples will be given for the
determination of installed power data for propeller dri-
ven airplanes:
7.1.1 Piston propeller driven airplanes
7.1.2 Turbopropeller driven airplanes
1.1.1 Piston Propeller Driven Airplanes
The step-by-step procedure of 6.4.1.1 will be used.
Step 1: It will be assumed that installed, available
power data must be provided for the following flight con-
ditions:
altitude: 0 - 20,000 ft in increments of
5,000 ft
speed: from 0 - 200 kts
temperature: standard atmosphere
Note: the flight condition range must be compatible
with the stated mission objectives of the airplane. Such
mission objectives are normally defined in the airplane
mission specification. Examples of airplane mission spe-
cifications are discussed in Part I.
The airplane used in this example is assumed to be a
single engine airplane. It has an engine with the unin-
stalled characteristics of Figure 6.34.
Step 2: Figure 6.34 provides typical engine manufac-
turers data for a small piston engine. Notice that the
data are given in terms of SHP,, for various altitudes,
engine rpm (throttle) and inlet manifold pressure.
Step 3: The following input information is required
before Eqn. (6.48) can be used:
Part VI Chapter 7 Page 203P, and n
extr’ “inl/inc’ "gear >
This input information must be determined for each
individual installation. In preliminary design the me-
thods suggested in 6.4.1.1 may be used.
For the current example the following data will be
assumed:
P, = 4 hp = 0.98
extr "inl/inc
Ngear ~ 1-0 (direct drive) a, = 0.88
Warning: propeller efficiency for a fixed pitch pro-
peller can be this high for only one flight condition.
In this example a variable pitch propeller has been used.
Step 4: The determination of P,, now proceeds as
follows:
For a given altitude and engine rpm, Figure 6.34 is
used to find the SHP,,. Using Equation (6.48) it is then
possible to compute P,, for each flight condition.
Figure 7.1 shows the results of these calculations for
the required range of altitudes and flight speeds.
Note: for the effect of atmospheric temperature on
engine performance, engine manufacturers data should be
consulted. In the absence of such data, the following
approximation may be used:
1/2
SEP. = SEP (Teeq/T? (creD)
Wat Wat std T
14.1.2 Turbopropeller Driven Airplanes
The step-by-step procedure of 6.4.1.2 will be used.
Step 1: It will be assumed that installed, available
power data must be provided for the following flight con-
ditions:
altitude: | 0 - 40,000 ft in increments of
10,000 £t
speed: 0 = 400 kts
temperature: standard sealevel
Note: the flight condition range must be compatible

Part VI Chapter 10 Page 43410,3 CONTROL DERIVATIVES
In Table 10.1 the following control derivatives are
identified: elevator, aileron and rudder. Because in
most airplanes the horizontal stabilizer itself is used
as a control device, its derivatives mst also be consi-
dered. In addition, many recent fighter airplanes and
several small commercial airplanes sprout canards, with
or without a separate control surface. Many airplanes
use spoilers and differential stabilizers as well as ai-
lerons for lateral control.
For these reasons, the following control (power)
derivatives are considered in this Section:

Because of a lack of statistical data on canard e-

are available for the sizing of a canardvator. If the
canard is used for trim and control purposes, the trim
considerations of Section 8.3 should be used.
Although several canard equipped airplanes carry

following procedure:

of 60 degrees, translate the spoiler geome-
try of Step 1 into one consistent with the

words, determine values for h,/c and x,/c.
These quantities may be averaged over the

Mounted Horizontal Stabilizers
Part VI Chapter 10 Page 455Many fighter airplanes require so mich lateral con-
trol power to meet combat roll requirements that diffe-
rentially controlled horizontal stabilizers are used in
addition to wing mounted lateral control devices. The
sizing of the horizontal tail (stabilizer) is normally
based on requirements for longitudinal stability and con-
trol. The reader should refer to Chapter 8 of Part II
for preliminary horizontal tail sizing methods.
In this sub-section it will be assumed that the geo-
metry of the horizontal tail surfaces is known.

Part VI Chapter 10 Page 46210,4 HINGEMOMENT DERIVATIVES OF CONTROL SURFACES
The purpose of this section is to present rapid me-
thods for the estimation of hingemoment derivatives of
control surfaces and tabs in the subsonic speed range.
For methods which apply in the transonic and supersonic
speed ranges the reader should consult Reference 9.
The methods to be presented apply only in the linear
range of control surface deflections (< 20 degrees at
best) and in the linear range of angles of attack (rough-
ly 12 degrees). For nonlinear effects the reader should
consult Ref.9 and use windtunnel data wherever possible.
Hingemoment derivatives are used for two purposes:
1. Computing stick, wheel and pedal cockpit control
forces so they can be checked against airworthi-
ness requirements.
Part VII contains methods for computing the cock-
pit control forces as well as methods for check-
ing with airworthiness standards.
2. Computing actuator force levels so that hydraulic
or electro-mechanical actuators can be properly
sized.
Chapter 4 in Part IV contains a discussion of ac-
tuator sizing criteria.
Figure 10,61 shows a basic control surface and tab
arrangement with the necessary geometric parameters iden-
tified. Note the use of the following nomenclature: main
surface, control surface and tab, shown in Figure 10,61,
This nomenclature applies to the following combinations:
1, horizontal tail + elevator + elevator tab
2. canard + canardvator + canardvator tab
3. wing + aileron + aileron tab
4. vertical tail + rudder + rudder tab
For a detailed discussion of the purpose of various
combinations of tabs and control surfaces, the reader
should consult Chapter 4 of Part IV.
In most cases, hingemoments are taken about the con-
trol surface hingeline: corresponding hingemoment coeffi-
Part VI Chapter 10 Page 463cients and derivatives are denoted:
and c, respectively.

In some cases, hingemoments need to be considered
about the tab hinge line: for example in servo-tab sys-
tems. ‘The corresponding hingemoment coefficients and
derivatives in that case are denoted:
cf, and cn, respectively.
The material in this sub-section is organized as
follows:
10.4.1 Two-Dimensional Control Surface and Tab Hin-
gemoment Derivatives about the Control sur-
face Hingeline
10,4,2 Three-Dimensional Control Surface and Tab
Hingemoment Derivatives about the Control
Surface Hingeline
10.4.3 Two-Dimensional Tab Hingemoment Derivatives
about the Tab Hingeline
10.4.4 Three-Dimensional Tab Hingemoment Derivatives
about the Tab Hingeline
The methods apply as long as the airflow over the
control surface is attached.
NOTES: 1.) All Two-D hingemoment derivatives are ba-
sed on Cy”, where cs is the plain flap
chord defined in Figure 10.61. The plain
flap is either the control surface or the
tab, depending on the point about which
the hingemoments are taken.
2.) All Three-D hingemoment derivatives are
based on (S, ye ), where the
surface?” ““surface
area and chord depend on the type of con-
trol surface considered: rudder, aileron,
elevator, tab, etc.

Part VI12. USER'S GUIDE
The purpose of this chapter is to present a User's
Guide to the prediction methods presented in this part of
the eight part series on Airplane Design.
It is assumed that the Preliminary Design Sequence I
(see p.11, Part II) has been completed and that the re-
sults of the accompanying Class I work have been properly
documented. The stage is now set for a more ‘in depth’
(Class -II) analysis of the capabilities of the design.
To accomplish this, the following characteristics need to
be determined:
Drag polars
Installed thrust or power data
Lift versus angle of attack
Pitching moment versus angle of attack
Stability, control and hingemoment derivatives
wees
The data which are the result of determining items
1.) through 5.) are themselves input data to the calcula-
tion and the evaluation of performance, stability, con-
trol, handling qualities and airworthiness capabilities
of the airplane as outlined in Part VII.
NOTE: The reader should not attempt to perform any
of the calculations represented by 1.) through 5.) with-
out a complete geometric definition of the airplane: a
dimensioned, Class I threeview MUST be available. This
threeview should be of a size large enough so that dimen-
sions needed in predicting items i.) through 5.) can be
‘scaled’ directly from this threeview drawing. If a CAD
(Computer Aided Design) data base is available for the
airplane, so much the better.
12,1 USER'S GUIDE FOR DRAG POLAR DETERMINATION
Step 1: The reader should determine for which con-
ditions drag polars are needed:
Airplane Configuration: *Clean
*Flap position (up, take-off
or landing)
*Landing Gear (up or down)
*External stores
‘Engine and inlet status
Part VI Chapter 12 Page 505Flight Condition: *Mach Number
*Altitude
*Reynold’s Number
*Weight
*Center of Gravity Location
The conditions selected depend on the type of per-
formance calculations which need to be performed with the
drag polars. Example of performance capabilities which
typically mist be determined are:
A) Mission oriented performance such as:
* take-off * climb * cruise
* loiter * descent * landing
* maneuvering * high speed dash * accelerate
B) Airworthiness oriented performance such as:
* climb rate or gradient with failed engine(s)
* balanced fieldlength
* performance following major damage (for exam-
ple combat damage)
Step 2: Proceed to Chapter 4 to compute the required
drag data. Refer to Equation 4.4 and iden-
tify which drag components must be determi-
ned. Prepare a list of input data needed
for the calculation of each drag component.
Plot the results in the form of C, versus a.
Proceed to Section 12.3 and use the resul-
ting C, versus @ plot together with the C)
versus a plot obtained from Step 2 to con-
struct a C, versus Cp plot (=drag polar).
4: Verify the drag polars with the procedure of
Section 5.5, p.135. Also compare the drag
polar data with data on similar airplanes:
see Section 5.1, p.117.
12.2 USER'S GUIDE FOR DETERMINATION OF INSTALLED
THRUST OR POWER
It will be assumed that the Class I powerplant inte-
gration has been carried out as indicated in Chapter 5 of
Part II. The powerplant installation has therefore been
temporarily ‘frozen’ which means that the following in-
formation should be available:
Part VI Chapter 12 Page 506* engine type * number of engines
* inlet
inlet
type and * exhaust type and
size nozzle size
Manufacturers uninstalled thrust or power data mst
also be available at this point.
Finally, it will be assumed that a list of systems
required by the airplane including a preliminary deter-
mination of the power requirements of these systems, is
avalable.
Step 1:
Obtain engine manufacturers uninstalled
thrust or power data. These data should
define uninstalled thrust (or power) as a
function of altitude, temperature, airspeed
and fuel flow.
If such detailed data are not available, the
data in Chapter 6 of Part III may be used to
"guestimate’ a set of uninstalled data.
Refer to pages 139 and 140 (Chapter 6) and
proceed with the preparation of the input
data necessary in the calculation of instal-
led thrust or power data.
Using the methods of Sections 6.1 through
6.4 estimate the installed power or thrust
capabilities of the airplane.
Example data are given in Chapter 7.
12,3 USER’S GUIDE FOR DETERMINATION OF LIFT VERSUS
ANGLE OF ATTACK
Part VI
The reader should determine for which flight
conditions the lift versus angle of attack
data need to be prepared. Refer to Step 1
in Section 12.1 for some guidelines.
Proceed to Section 8.1 for the calculation
of the required lift versus angle of attack
characteristics. Plot the results in the
form of C, versus a.
Check the results of Step 2 by comparing
with example data on similar airplanes such
as given in Chapter 9.
Chapter 12 Page 50712.4 USER'S GUIDE POR THE DETERMINATION OF PITCHING MO-
MENT VERSUS ANGLE OF ATTACK AND THE TRIM DIAGRAM
Step i:
Step 3:
5:
The reader should determine for which flight
conditions the pitching moment versus angle
of attack data need to be prepared. Refer
to Step 1 of Section 12.1 for guidelines.
Refer to the weight versus center of gra-
vity diagram (See Chapter 10, Part II) and
determine the most forward and aft c.g. lo-
cation which applies to each flight condi-
tion selected in Step 1. Select a suitable
c.g. location for use as the reference point
in the pitching moment calculations.
Proceed to Section 8.2 and determine the
pitching moment versus angle of attack cha-
racteristics. Plot the results in the form
of C, versus a for the reference point se-
lected in Step 2.
Proceed to Section 8.3 and determine the
airplane trim diagram in the form of a plot
of C, versus C, for the reference point se-
lected in step 2.
Verify the results of Step 4 by comparing
with data on similar airplanes. Some data
are given in Chapter 9.

Step 2:
3:
Part VI
Determine the flight conditions for which
the derivatives need to be determined. Use
Step 1 in Section 12.1 for guidelines.
Proceed to Chapter 10 and compute the re-
quired derivatives.
Verify the results of Step 2 by comparing
with data on similar airplanes. Example de-
rivative data are given in Chapter 11.

Part VI Appendix A Page 524APPENDIX B: METHODS FOR COMPUTING CIRCUMFERENCES, AREAS
AND VOLUMES
In the process of airplane project design it is fre-
quently necessary to compute the cross-section circumfe-
rence, the surface area and/or the volume of components
of the airplane such as: fuselages, fuselage boattails,
wings, fuel tanks and nacelles.
Reference 58, by Professor E.Torenbeek of Delft Uni-
versity of Technology in Delft, The Netherlands is an ex-
cellent source of methods for computing such items. For
that reason, Reference 58 has been copied and adapted for
incorporation as Appendix B in this book.

Part VI Appendix B Page 525Bi. ratroduction
In the calculation of mass properties and aerodynamic coefficients like
profile drag coefficients and atability derivatives, reference is made
to frontal areas, sideviev areas, vetted areas and volumes. Once the
detailed shape of the major aircraft components is accurately established
by means of lofting processes (e.g. ref.B3), these characteristic areas
‘apd volumes can be computed mmerically or by means of graphical methods.
The present subject, hovever, is associated vith project design studic
where the detailed shape and dimensions are not alvays accurately knova
oF, in some cases, may have been chosen provisionally. An estimation,
accurate within fev percent of the exact value, may be acceptable vhen
euphasis is laid on tine saving.
sent, nenorandum methods are presented for the calculation of
+ areas and volumes, having different degrees of accuracy.
In the pi
cireunferene
The most exact procedure is based on a representation of the surface
contour lines by a suitable polynomial vith fractional exponents. Such
f tvo-paraneter method is explained in ch.B2 and is very simple to use
vhen a three-viev draving of the component is available. Generalized
results of the various integrations are presented in disgrans (cb.B3).
‘These are useful not only for accurate computations, but they have been
used for the derivation of simplified methods as vel.
‘The reader vho is interested in practical results only may omit the
reading of chapters andQ3. Chapters®t,B5 andB6 deal vith applications
for fuselages, wings, tailplanes, fuel tanks and engine nacelles. In
general, both accurate and simplified methods are presented. For fuse-
Anges a reviev of the various availdble methods is given on fig. 5.
Bz. Approximation of contours ical
‘The rigid requirenents in aeronautical design have led to the adoption
of streamline shapes vith smooth, continuous external lines, resulting
in a sncoth rate of change of curvature along the entire length of the
dody. For fuselages, the application of « pressurized cabin makes @
circular cross section or a section built up from circular sections «
very desireble, if not mandatory feature. Extensive areas of double:
curvature, like saddle surfaces, should be avoided because of the
associated costly manufacturing processes. The design criteria for vings
are entirely different as the external shape is dictated ty serodynanic
requirenents, viz. lov drag, high aaximm lift, favourable characteris
tics at high incidences and at Mach nunbersvhere compressibility effects
fare dominant. For subsonic aircraft, leading and trailing edges of vings
and tail surfaces are frequently straight Lines. Aerofoils have neatly
Part VI Appendix B Page 526rounded noses, vhile sharp trailing edges are used for good Lifting pro-
perties. For ease of production, intermediate sections are often con
structed from tip and root sections by assuming straight Lines between
