Author: Marcin Lenarczyk
Project
Abstract
This report introduces the process of improving and extending the HAW Hamburg’s
MS-Excel-based Aircraft Preliminary Sizing Tool PreSTo. The process of the combination of
two previously developed preliminary sizing modules of PreSTo is presented. All aspects of
the combination like layout, macros, application of the "look and feel" philosophy are
described and discussed in detail. Within the scope of the project an interface to CEASIOM
was set up. The report presents the new "CEASIOM input file" module and describes all
already developed features of the module. Finally, the workflow of the ATR 72-600
preliminary sizing process within PreSTo with focus on the jet version of the aircraft is
presented. The results of the re-design process are discussed. The determined results like
masses, wing area and engine take-off thrust are of good accuracy.
