Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to simplify the preliminary design process as well as the initial evaluation of existing design parameters of civil jet aircraft; to include noise level consideration right from the start of the design process; and to form a current database of civil jet aircraft design parameters.
Design/methodology/approach
Simple (linear) correlations are found between key design parameters.
Findings
Direct linear relationships are found between design parameters including noise levels. Simplified preliminary design process.
Originality/value
New correlations which simplify the current procedures for preliminary design. In addition, the noise is included right from the beginning of the design. Finally, a new database is formed with specially selected aircraft that is current and covers a wide spectrum of sizes.
