My Aircraft =

Middle of the market natural laminar flow aircraft

A single-aisle aircraft aimed at the middle of the market segment with 250 pax. A natural laminar flow wing is used. This results in a reduced cruise speed at Mach 0.75 and reduced wing sweep. The engines are mounted at the tail and hence a T-tail is necessary. The aircraft has a high aspect ratio to minimise induced drag.
The engine pylon was manually adapted in OpenVSP to achieve a tail-mounted engine.

UWB-Lohde

An unconventional aircraft configuration, this design may be an intermediate between conventional 'cigar-shaped' fuselages and BWB. With this UWB approach, it is hoped to be possible to combine the best of two worlds; superior aerodynamics of a BWB and the lower  manufacturing cost of a classic fuselage aircraft.

Family Name = Nürnberger
Given Name = Nils
My Aircraft =

The V-Jet is a commercial airliner with a length of 37,6m and a wingspan of 50m. Each of the two fuselages features a 3-3 cabin layout which allows it to carry up to 360 passengers. A comparable aircraft in passenger capacity usually has a bigger wingspan which requires a higher ICAO span category what leads to higher costs. Due to the big aspect ratio and the V-Tail, fuel consumption could be kept small which leads to a range of 5000nm at a cruise Mach number of .78.

-------------------------------------------------

Family Name = Delgado del Río
Given Name = David
My Aircraft =

An unconventional aircraft with two fuselages, which will allow twice as many passengers for a lower fuel price than conventional aircraft. The engines, which are located between both fuselages, allow a weight reduction because the wings must support less torque in the root, making them lighter and slimmer with a wing span of 50 m, and therefore, more aerodynamically efficient. The wing consist of a high wing with positive dihedral and positive sweep angle, which lead to a more stable aircraft. At the same time, the engines produce a more efficient thrust because they are located nearer the longitudinal axis of symmetry, which is the direction of the aircraft. The reduction of the chord at the tip of the wing and the winglets reduce significantly the induced drag. The aircraft has a high horizontal stabilizer due to the location of the engines and two vertical stabilizers.
