2 PRELIMINARY PARAMETERS ESTIMATION 2.1 Preliminary Design Data A supersonic business jet is a new aircraft design never seen before.What we can take for references are just Concorde,the only supersonic jet which was once put into commercial operation,and some successful subsonic business aircrafts produced by famous manufactures such as Boeing and Airbus. 2.1.1 The parameters of Concorde: As we all know,Concorde is the only one supersonic commercial aircraft which has been put into operation formally.Its parameters will enlighten us a lot during the design of SBJ. Figure 2-1:The Concorde GEOMETRY Length 62.10m Height 11.40m Wingspan 25.56m CABIN SIZE Length 39.32m Height 1.96m 1010 2 PRELIMINARY PARAMETERS ESTIMATION 2.1 Preliminary Design Data A supersonic business jet is a new aircraft design never seen before.
