Description
Summary:This paper aims to present the conceptual design of a sustainable regional aircraft. In previous studies, the hypothesis of this paper was determined: the purpose is to design a concept sustainable regional aircraft, propelled by electric engines powered with batteries, that can transport up to 18 passengers on distances of 1 000 km. The most suitable configurations for the wing and empennage are chosen and then modelled, according to the dimensions driven by the cabin size. The result is a 3D model of the concept aircraft that allows further studies into the feasibility and rate of success of such a project.
