Lifting System Replacement For A Horizontal Stabilizer

Abstract

The fact of substituting the horizontal stabilizer of an aircraft appeared since the necessity of aviation to lower the weight of aircraft in order to generate fewer emissions as well as allowing the airlines to offer even cheaper flights so that to achieve a better accessibility to the aerospace sector for a bigger percentage of the population. This study will carry out not only the re-design of aircraft’s tail but also, CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis would be performed to see if this new configuration could be or not possible by the calculation of different performance parameters. Because of the climatological situation of the world, reducing the emissions and so making flights as efficient as possible constitute some of the key parameters to consider for the future of aircraft design; due to this, the design of this system was also performed considering these factors meticulously in addition to the investigation about the introduction of propfan engines to substitute the conventional jet engines.
