Process & Performance There are many entry points to the process – none are right or wrong, but key is teamwork and comms, to ensure efficient running of multiple loops within loops, using shared & common assumptions – discuss & agree. OAD Integration – Component level sizing loops are key: Excellent wing concept on a poor overall aircraft won’t work ! Set up spreadsheets to facilitate quick turnaround of data – get the process right, otherwise you’ll waste time later in the many iterations. Initial focus should concentrate on generating data for trades - studies sensitivities;  Initial ‘guesstimates’ on design weights (MTOW/ OWE/ Fuel/ PL).  Performance evaluation at key points in flight envelope to meet required P-R; –TOFL & BFL –First segment & second segment ROC requirements –ICA – Top of climb thrust available to give 300 fpm ROC margin –Fuel volume calcs for ‘assumed’ aero efficiency & weights Don’t complicate the solution unless absolutely certain its needed.

Wing Sizing –Overall economic measures (DOC, COC) can now be assessed (Need FB, variation in a/c cost+profit, maintenance cost, cabin crew, cockpit crew..). At same time develop understanding of component level sizing & links to OAD; Wing planform versus drag & economics;  TR, Span, t/c, S – which gives the best multidisciplinary balance?  Ensure fuel volume requirement + reserves (200 nm diversion, 5% trip fuel allowance, 30 minute hold @ 1500 ft AGL) is met, ideally wholly in wing.  Value of Weight versus Drag in Economics terms – to inboard load or not?  Is aero benefit of elliptical lift distribution more powerful than BM relief due to more inboard position of CoP?

9 © AIRBUS S.A.S. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document. Wing Sizing & Integration contd.  Ensure LG leg integration feasibility (NLG, BLG, MLG volume requirements for sensible leg positions & tyre sizes (growth version ?) & numbers ? (ACN – pavement loading). –Greater root chord? –Inner TE kink? –Thicker section @ root? –Gulled wing? (local increase in dihedral at root) –Re-twist at root?  Powerplant position: –+/ - 5 degree disc burst cones for fuel tank boundaries and feeds to engine – assume infinite energy –MLG longitudinal position on NLG collapse to ensure engine clearance.

10 © AIRBUS S.A.S. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document. LG Positioning Ensure wing & LG integration with rest of aircraft;  NLG impact on high speed landing (A/C attitude too nose down on touchdown?) – resolve through body setting angle or more powerful high lift devices.  Tail tip on loading – MLG too far forward.  Wing (& MLG) too far aft – rotation @ T/O may be difficult.  Longitudinal constraints: Tail-scrape on rotation (LG length or longitudinal position/ rear fuselage shape/ ‘strength’ of High Lift Devices)  Lateral constraints: x-wind landing, turnover angle theta < 30 degrees typically  Position NLG & MLG to retain at least 5% MTOW over NLG in static balance about CG, to ensure steering feasibility.
