Systems Design Lead - A-17 Low Drag Ultra-Green Airliner

• Oct 2017 - May 2018

This group design project's vision for an airliner concept is to produce Boeing 737 class aircraft that will cope with a future scenario where fossil fuels have become extensively expensive and simultaneously environmental concerns are now paramount. The concept is targeted at the 2030 – 2035 timeframe and assuring futuristic technologies such as the Hybrid Laminar Flow Control, Aft Propulsor for boundary layer ingestion, High Bypass ratio geared turbofan engine, Power-by-wire… Show more This group design project's vision for an airliner concept is to produce Boeing 737 class aircraft that will cope with a future scenario where fossil fuels have become extensively expensive and simultaneously environmental concerns are now paramount. The concept is targeted at the 2030 – 2035 timeframe and assuring futuristic technologies such as the Hybrid Laminar Flow Control, Aft Propulsor for boundary layer ingestion, High Bypass ratio geared turbofan engine, Power-by-wire Actuations and Electric Taxi systems are incorporated to help diminish subsequent dangerous emissions. The most prominent feature of the A-17 is the ultra-high aspect ratio wing that will contribute in moderating the induced drag and the natural laminar flow over the wings will significantly reduce the skin friction drag and consequently the fuel burn. As the Systems Lead, I facilitated project management efforts to provide strategic direction and operational supervision to a group of 27 across 5 sub-divisions that designed the various systems of the ultra-green aircraft such as: - Landing Gear System - Electric Taxi System - Hybrid Propulsion System - Boundary-Layer Ingestion Technology - Hybrid Laminar Flow System - Hybrid Battery System - Ice protection system - Environmental Control system - Actuation System - Fuel System - Engine Performance - Flight Performance - Maintainability and Manufacturing - Cabin and Cockpit Layout - Airworthiness Presented at Critical Design review in front of audiences from NASA, Boeing, Airbus, Leonardo, BAE system, HAL among other front runners in the industry; introducing key features and all the systems on the Ultra-Green aircraft.
