Abstract

As more and more people choose the airplane as a means of transportation, the aviation industry faces new challenges in order to fulfill the increasing demand, while decreasing the costs and emissions. In this report, the authors present a design of a narrow-body aircraft that is meant to provide a 30 % direct operating costs reduction, as well as a 20 % reduction in NOx and CO2 emissions while being ready for market introduction by 2030. Furthermore, the aircraft should provide a noise reduction of 10 % which translates to a reduction of 29 [EPNdB] and it should house 177 passengers.
