Engine Engine Calculations/SizingCalculations/Sizing
Used Aircraft Engine Design written by Jack Mattingly for engine sizing requirements to calculate Thrust Req., Wing Area, and Fuel Req.
With Thrust req., used GASTURB to estimate engine performance parameters (TSFC)
Engine performance parameters were then plugged back into MATLAB program to finalize weight, wing area, fuel load, and thrust req.

The Fan NozzleThe Fan Nozzle
Controllability– Must be able to control
the flow to provide fore/aft thrust control.
– Necessary for transition for takeoff and landing.
Shroud– Wing Space is insufficient.
Louvered Nozzle– Practical, but effectively
reduces nozzle area as the louvers pivot fore and aft.
“Structural Nozzle”– Can provide structural
strength for wing.
– Will allow nozzle contraction to take place over a small distance.
– Allows louvers to direct flow without reducing nozzle area.
Adjustable Nozzle– Increase nozzle area as
louver pivot fore or aft to compensate for effective area reduction.
Lift Fan ControlLift Fan Control
Variable Geometry Inlet Guide Vanes– Provides rapid thrust changes without changing fan
RPM.
Variable Fan RPM– Performance will vary with RPM as engine changes
operating RPM.
Final Engine Final Engine Design Design
Engine Design ProblemEngine Design Problem Engine must be designed to meet shaft power
requirements.
LP Turbine is unmatched with the LP compressor.– Able to deliver shaft power for lift fan– LP spool Over-speeds during cruise operations
unless controlled.– HP spool forced to operate at lower RPM during
cruise
Alternately, designing for cruise leaves HP Spool incapable of producing sufficient flow to produce shaft work necessary for lift fans.
Mismatched Engine Mismatched Engine SolutionsSolutions
Variable Stator in LP spool turbines– Adjust turbine power
output to meet shaft work requirement without over-speeding turbine in cruise.
– Would allow the HP spool to operate at higher RPM, and efficiency, in cruise producing lower TSFC.
– Currently lack the design tools to be able to predict performance, especially off-design.
Secondary Nozzle– Limit LP spool RPM to 102%
– Contract the nozzle to adjust to lower mass flow.
– Bleed fan air into secondary nozzle (eliminates choking in mixer) to improve performance without losing thrust
– Variable bypass engine could achieve similar results, limited design tools make designing with this method simpler.
