Resumo
Recent changes in the aircraft design procedure have made the development of the propulsion system increasingly detailed already in the conceptual phases of the project. Moreover, the use of simulation software in this process has increased considerably in recent years, due to technological advances in processing capacity, optimization algorithms and artificial intelligence. Therefore, a coupling between aircraft design software, PROOSIS and Pacelab APD, was intended to improve the simulations made during these initial phases. Thus, considering the requirements of a commercial transport aircraft, an engine was modelled, dimensioned, and analysed in order to obtain its performance characteristics for different flight phases. The data obtained was then incorporated into the design of the chosen aircraft, using a data import tool. Then, the impacts of this incorporation in the calculation of the aircraft's mission were analysed in order to identify not only the gains achieved, but also the possible failures of the chosen procedure. With the developed manual coupling routine, the designed aircraft had an increase of 7.5% in its range, due to the better representativeness of the data obtained for fuel consumption in cruise condition. In addition, other coupling possibilities, improvements on the coupling achieved and its capacity of generalization were also discussed.
