Mission Statement To design an environmentally responsible aircraft for the twin aisle commercial transport market with a capacity of 300+ passengers, NASA’s N+2 capabilities, and an entry date of 2020-2025. NASA’s N+2 technology benefits include: Reducing cumulative noise by 42dB below Stage 4 Reducing take-off and landing NOx emissions to 75% below CAEP6 levels Reducing fuel burn by 50% relative to “large twin-aisle performance” (777-200LR) Reducing field length by 50% relative to the large twin-aisle
Boeing Market Forecast Twin-aisle aircraft represent the fastest-growing market segment Growth fueled by emerging economies (Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle East, etc.) Image Source: Boeing Market Forecast
Customers Asia-Pacific, Middle East, Latin America Low Cost Carriers (LCC’s) Passengers looking for cheap hub-to-hub and nonstop flights Airliners looking for high capacity aircraft to meet increasing market demand

Sizing Code Progress We used three sizing codes: Simple – Incorporates design mission range, (L/D)max and number of passengers Initial – Incorporates all of the above in addition to T/W and W0/S ratios. MATLAB – Incorporates all of the above and the entire design mission (i.e. loiter time, emergency landing etc.)
Summary Market forecasts predict a need for higher capacity aircraft to fly heavily trafficked routes 400 passenger, 4000 nmi range, N+2 compliant aircraft scheduled for deployment in 2020-2025 Next Steps Constraint Analysis Sizing code refinement Acquire Propulsion systems data Preliminary wing design
