Performance Evaluation and DOC Estimation of an Innovative Turboprop Configuration

摘要

This paper deals with the performance and DOC evaluation of an innovative regional aircraft configuration. The present research work is framed in the Innovative turbopROp configuratioN (IRON) project that complies with the European Union topic JTI-CS2-2015-CPW02-REG-01-03 (Green and cost efficient Conceptual Aircraft Design including Innovative Turbo-Propeller Power-plant) as part of the Clean Sky 2 program for Horizon 2020. The project focuses on the feasibility study of an innovative regional configuration, which is supposed to be competitive with respect to short/medium haul regional jets. A comparison with a typical regional jet like the Bombardier CS300 will be also illustrated in terms of performance on short/medium range missions and DOC.
