FUSELAGE AND

TAIL SIZING
FUSELAGE SIZING
 The primary purpose of the fuselage is to house the payload.
 In addition to the payload, the fuselage accomodates the following.
 (a) The flight crew and the cabin crew in the transport airplane and the specialist crew
members in airplanes used for reconnaisance, patrol and remote sensing.
 (b) Fuel, engine and landing gear when they are housed inside the fuselage.

 The horizontal and vertical tails are designed to provide stability; the movable surfaces on tails
namely elevator and rudder provide control.
 The complete design of tail surfaces requires information on
 (a) location of the centre of gravity(c.g.)of airplane,
 (b) shift in c.g. location during flight and
 (c) the desirable level of stability.
 However, to obtain the c.g. location, the weights of horizontal and vertical tails are needed
which depend on their size.
 Hence, preliminary sizing of the two tails are carried out with the help of the following steps.
 Choose the tail arrangement from the various types
 While carrying out calculations leading to the preliminary three view drawing, the areas of
horizontal tail and vertical tails were based on the ratios (S ht / S) and (S vt /S) for similar
airplanes.
 Here, these areas are refined based on the tail volume ratios of the similar airplanes.
 These ratios are defined as:
