dc.description.abstract | The Polytechnic University of Puerto
Rico (PUPR) has participated in SAE Aero Design
for the previous years. SAE Aero Design is an
international competition in which an airplane is
designed by the students into one academic
calendar year. SAE Aero Design have three classes
of competition: Regular, Advance, and Micro. In
2018 PUPR participated in Regular Class with an
aircraft called ORCA. The objective of Regular
Class is designing an aircraft able to carry as much
payload as possible fulfilling every requirement
and limitations. ORCA was a good design, but the
aircraft do not have the capacity to carry the
payload predicted in the conceptual design. This
project is based on the optimization of ORCA. This
new design is bigger, lighter, and can carry the
payload predicted fulfilling every requirement and
limitations. The design method for the aircraft was
based on a full weight analysis from various
aircrafts designed for the same purpose, including
ORCA.
