AIM: To prepare a comparative graph for selecting the main parameters of the airplanes.

OBJECTIVE: Comparative graph is prepared with the help of Exp no: 3. this graph sheet will
help to get the optimized value for design. The graphs are: 1. Altitude Vs Velocity 2. Range Vs
Velocity 3. Total weight Vs Velocity 4. Wing loading Vs Velocity 5. Thrust to weight ratio Vs
Velocity 6. Aspect ratio Vs Velocity

PROCEDURE: By using Microsoft Excel sheet prepare a graph is prepared. Note: Create a
table in Microsoft Excel sheet as in Exp no: 3. Select the columns for graph i.e. (X & Y axis)
Choose inset option, in that click Chart XY (scatter) Chart sub type First one Next Write the
graph heading in the name Next In top click 1. Titles - Write X & Y axis name, 2. Grid lines –
Remove the Tick mark Next Finish By using Microsoft Paint Draw the circle which enclosing
more point & find corresponding X & Y axis value.

SELECTION OF MAIN PARAMETERS:

1. Altitude - Pitts Special

2. Range - Cessna 172 Skyhawk
3. Total weight - Taylorcraft BC-12D
4. Wing loading - Aeronca 11AC Chief
5. Thrust to weight ratio - Maule M-7
6. Aspect ratio - Cessna 170B
7. Velocity - Pitts Special

RESULT: Thus, the comparative graph preparations are done for selecting the main parameters
of the airplanes.
