Fuselage Layout Design-FINAL

The fuselage carries crew, payload, and systems in airplanes. Commercial interior design balances comfort and weight, while cargo design focuses on loading efficiency. Fighter design packages systems without interference and for easy access. Designs must consider servicing, maintenance, weight, complexity, drag, and access.

Fuselage layout design

The fuselage in most airplanes carries the crew, the payload (passengers and/or cargo and
weapons) and many of the systems needed for the operation of an airplane.
In commercial passenger operations the interior design reflects a compromise between
level of creature comforts and the weights and sizes required to create the creature comforts.
In cargo operations the ability to efficiently load and unload cargo plays an important
role. In fighter design a major problem is that of 'packaging' of all required systems so that they
operate satisfactorily, don't interfere with another (particularly important with avionics) and can
be easily accessed.
In commercial as well as military operations the problems associated with servicing and
maintenance dictate where access must be designed into the fuselage.
Design for good access, maintenance and inspectability usually conflicts directly with
design for low structural weight, low complexity and low drag.
Some examplse of A/C fuselage layout on the market
Fuselage length:
From the real analysis data from existing A/C on the market, the association between
length for the fuselage and W :

l f =a W C =4.37 13000.23 =22.73 ft=7 m

Fuselage width is selected to appropriate with the length, we choose w f =1 m


Maximum diameter connected with the fuselage length via fineness ratio which is the
fraction between fuselage lengh and maximum fuselage diameter. For subsonic A/C, this
parameter varies from 5 to 8.
7
Our selection is 7, d f = 7 =1 m

To avoid the tail contact the ground when take off, the tail is usually design in a diagonal
line with the horizon. For single engine, fc =39 degree , say 6 degree.
