Announcement for Break (Before 2021 March?)

I always try to deliver news, opinion, and design process which I involve. 

I enjoy this activities and this is the reason I run this Blog. 

However, in recent month, I am now preparing some process which is necessary for my future. 


It will take few months, then, I can come back to Blog again. 

I expect that the prepared process will bring plenty of contents and 'More Aerospace Life' for me.

Flight-SIM : W.I.P of the SIM II




2. Construction of Aerodynamic/Propulsion/Weight DB

1) Weight DB

 Weight of the aircraft is estimated from the reference as shown in the Figure below. Reference roughly configured the weight of the Truss-Wing as 65% of the conventional wing. From this result, the ZFW (Zero-Fuel-Weight) is saved about 3 tons



2) Propulsion DB

 Basically I made no difference on the thrust value of the CFM-56 class engine while I assumed pressure recovery data based on the 3 shock inlet. 


3) Aerodynamic DB

 Geometry of the two aircraft, SupLiner Mk.1 and A320 are shown; similar size of cabin and engine are represented. Only modification of the engine is added shock-cone to gain enough pressure recovery value in the supersonic condition. 

 Specific estimation result for the generic A320 class airliner is shown in my previous article (Flight-SIM : Generic DB of single-aisle Airliner : Part 2). 


 Truss-Supersonic wing having less camber and incidence angle has much smaller CL value at the given AoA while it gives much smaller drag than the conventional wing due to its swept angle. 


 Truss-Supersonic wing shows similar L/D in M0.4~0.7 condition where the generic A320 mainly flight. However, in Mach 0.9, where the drag of the conventional one is already risen, Truss-Supersonic wing surpass max L/D value of the conventional one. 




 In supersonic region, M1.1~1.8, estimation of the aerodynamic value is only calculated for the Sup-Liner; Cl_aoa value is peaked at M1.1 and reduced. Minimum drag is in 'drag-rise' at M1.1, so, L/D become lower than the conventional's subsonic case. 

 Flight-SIM will evaluate Range and Fuel economy performance in the next article. 



 CFD result is supplementary provided (Mesh, iteration, case set up are very rough compare to the full-academic or industrial purpose set up due to '4-core laptop for FLUENT'; please understand about it)

Airbus' AFJT Trainer replacement proposal for C-101 and F-5M?

Airbus proposed Spain for the replacement of C-101 and F-5M aircraft

 Probably similar class to this new project are Korean T-50 and Boeing's T-7

Boeing's T-7 Redhawk

 Boeing is Now T-X 
 Aerodynamic Analysis of Boeing T-X
 Boeing T-X Flight video

 There are some images and link related to this news


 General impression of the aircraft is similar to mix of Hawk, Alpha-Jet, T-7, and F-16 while it has extremely slim fuselage as shown in the Figures.

1. Initial Concept of Supersonic Aircraft

 As I described earlier, I attempt to design a new supersonic aircraft; until now, size, initial concept of the aircraft is not fixed. Also, tool for the performance evaluation is under the development. 

 My own Flight-SIM code will be act as range / flight trajectory evaluation tool; CAD/CFD work will provide aerodynamic DB for my new design. Weight and propulsion DB will be estimated from proper reference and estimating equation.

Few Cell-Phone Spotting at Jeju Trip

I had taken few pictures at RKSS and RKPC.

Quality of the images are not good as previous spotting using a full-size camera. 

Because I visited Jeju island for the purpose of vacation, I only used cell-phone camera.


1) RKSS-RKPC



























2) RKPC Spotting in Cafe



















3) RKPC-RKSS













B744 from Korean Air will probably be scraped; their engines are already removed.
I thought it will never fly again. Last mission of the Korean Air's B744 is keeping Korean from COVID19.




Asiana's old B767 is also waiting its fate.
COVID19 bring too severe destine to airliners. 


Still, there is an active B767 from Asiana.
