Structural Weight Prediction Modelling for a Wide-body Aircraft by Implementing Real-time Case Study
Main Article Content
Abstract
Research studies on portraits of the middle-of-the-market aircraft are the most promising research for future aircraft design. This research aims to investigate the superiority of aircraft design technology, which results in reduced gross weight and increased structural integrity. Using a multi-linear regression method, this article offers to estimate the Maximum Take-Off Weight (MTOW) for wide-body transport aircraft. A real-time case study is carried out for the design configurations, propulsive systems, performance characteristics and structural integrity parameters of 26 distinct middle-of-the-market aircraft. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis is carried out in order to validate the MTOW model. The model provides the best fitness with R2 = 0.9676. This R2 result is around 5% higher than the lowest R2 achieved from the literature. In addition, a clear-cut insights and managerial views towards future aircraft design are discussed.
