The Recurve

A Touring Personal Jet Aircraft By: Sam Gaylin, Ian Adams, Chauncey Costello, Chris Cvecko, Jonathan Jordan, Michael Lisa, Ryan Meyer, and Michael Rice

Advised by Professor P. J. Barnhart

Mission Overview

Private aircraft ownership has long been out of reach for many amateur

pilots. Delta Force is tasked with designing a new personal jet aircraft

with unprecedented affordability. The design needs to be capable of long

range with passengers aboard, while emphasizing ease of flight.

The designed aircraft must meet specific requirements:

Capable of cruising at a Mach Number of at least 0.25 (roughly 190 miles per hour at sea level)

A range of at least 1000 nautical miles (roughly 1150 miles)

Capable of cruising at 20,000 ft minimum

Capable of takeoff from and landing on a runway of no more than 2000ft

Capable of carrying a pilot and at least one passenger
