Revision as of 01:24, 21 July 2013

TRL 2 starts in 2013. It is planned to have a 2 years duration.
Projet and tasks are made according to Lesser Open Bee License 1.3

Bee-Plane TRL 1 Year 2012 : First aeronautical configuration to be studied in details is the one resulting from TRL1.

TRL2 Project Overview

Project description at beginning of TRL2 :


Additional documentation and numerical mock-up
All technical work done according to the open source paragraph of the Lesser Open Bee License 1-3 is available within a dedicated IT server. Access is provide on request.

Guidelines

  • Basket is design to be optimum for passengers frequent flight, then it is adapted to other usage (fret, hospitals...)
  • Basket with three pressure bubbles, Internal structure adapted to 3-4-3 seats configuration
  • Landing gear with external rotation. Wheels goes behind Turboprop engines
  • Flat surface bellow bee with ISO standard dimensions (width 2,44m)
  • 1 pilot behind each other, or only 1, or even none.
  • 2 turbopropeller TP400 on main wings, 1 central turbofan (SAM 146) on the back, or even 2 on the back for military usage(Silvercrest * 2)
  • Variable inlet casing for rear turbofan, behind cockpit and wings, diameter of the turbofan = 1m.
  • Bi-taildragger configuration, with lower rear wings that finish with vertical ends for each wheels.
  • Central luguage area for passenger basket (200 PAX in 2 classes), Only 1 central main door on each side.
  • Access between basket/bee is planned to be just before front attach system of the main wing.
  • Basket with APU, 4 electric wheels, fuel tanks between bubble spaces

    Studies

    Studies will includes : - Configuration definition - Aerodynamic - Accoustic - Mechanical



    Projects already finished:

  • EM Normandy : Partnership strategy
  • SupMeca : Airport Studies
  • SupMeca : overall design studies and Collaborative projet
  • SupMeca : landing gear definition

    Projects near completion :
    None : "summer time"

    Projects planned for september 2013 :
  • Ecole Centrale Paris : Continue AAS Analysis for Aircraft Sizing tool, and implement lateral flight stability calculation.
  • Estaca : Cabin Layout, Structural studies, Inboard Energies, certification
  • INSA Rouen : Continue Engines parametric model (and apply to different future aircraft configuration, including BeePlane)
  • IPSA : wings studies
  • Trinity College : Accoustic

    Potential projects within universities and engineering schools
  • EPFL : Impact on transport system
