## **FTC_53-00-00-00-000_ATA-53_DMC-Structurefuselage-01_Requirement_List** | ||
|
||

|
||
### **1. Executive Summary** | ||
|
||
The purpose of this document is to present the **generative design** of the **AMPEL360XWLRGA** tail cone, detailing: | ||
1. **Key performance improvements** (weight, drag, structural integrity). | ||
2. **Integration** with the **Q-01 quantum propulsion system**. | ||
3. **Sustainability goals**, including recyclability and CO₂ reduction. | ||
|
||
**Impact:** | ||
- By achieving a **significant weight reduction** (≤ 150 kg, ~12% less than the baseline tail cone design), we project an **overall aircraft weight reduction** of ~8%. | ||
- This, combined with a **drag coefficient (Cd)** improvement to **≤ 0.025** (~5% reduction from previous designs), is estimated to yield a **3–5% fuel efficiency improvement** and **4–6% lower operational costs**, aligning with **GAIA AIR’s** commitment to **sustainable aviation**. | ||
|
||
All references to simulations, testing, and validations comply with **aerospace industry standards** and form part of the **ATA** and **S1000D** frameworks, ensuring a **robust, certifiable design**. | ||
|
||
--- | ||
|
||
### **2. Design Objectives** | ||
|
||
1. **Weight Reduction:** | ||
Achieve a final weight of **≤ 150 kg**, representing a ~12% cut relative to our baseline tail cone design, contributing ~8% overall aircraft mass savings. | ||
|
||
2. **Drag Coefficient (Cd) Improvement:** | ||
Target **Cd ≤ 0.025**, which is ~5% lower than the legacy tail cone profile. Coupled with overall aerodynamic refinements, this is expected to enhance fuel efficiency by ~3–5%. | ||
|
||
3. **Structural Integrity:** | ||
Withstand **25,000 N** of thrust from the Q-01 with a **≥ 1.6** safety factor, validated via FEA and tested for correlation with wind tunnel data. | ||
|
||
4. **Sustainability:** | ||
Ensure **> 85% recyclability** and a **20% reduction in CO₂** emissions across manufacturing and lifecycle phases, per our LCA results and GAIA AIR’s sustainability guidelines. | ||
|
||
--- | ||
|
||
### **3. Generative Design Methodology** | ||
|
||
**3.1 Optimization Process** | ||
- Implemented **genetic algorithms** and **topology optimization** (in **nTopology** and the **ML-P** framework) to iteratively shape the tail cone geometry. | ||
- Performed **150 optimization loops**, refining parameters for load distribution, minimal mass usage, and aerodynamic profiles. | ||
|
||
**3.2 Role of AI** | ||
- The **ML-P** platform facilitated: | ||
- **Parameter tuning** of design variables (wall thickness, curvature). | ||
- **Automated selection** of candidate geometries for each iteration based on constraints (max stress, deflection limits). | ||
- **Design evaluation** synergy between CFD/FEA results and the optimization algorithm. | ||
|
||
**3.3 Material Selection** | ||
- **CFRP (HexPly M21/T700)**: High strength-to-weight ratio for main structures. | ||
- **Al-Li Alloys (Al-Li 2195)**: Lightweight, **~95% recyclability**. | ||
- **Smart Polymers (Veriflex)**: Adaptive thermal properties and minor self-healing for localized stress zones. | ||
|
||
**3.4 Integration with Q-01** | ||
- Custom **cryogenic insulation** for helium lines. | ||
- **Electromagnetic shielding** (≥ 90 dB attenuation) to protect Q-01 from ambient EMI. | ||
- **Mechanical mounts** isolating thrust forces and ensuring no resonance at operating frequencies. | ||
|
||
--- | ||
|
||
### **4. Simulation and Test Results** | ||
|
||
**4.1 CFD Simulations** | ||
- Tools: **ANSYS Fluent**, **STAR-CCM+** | ||
- Achieved **Cd reduction of ~6.2%** (± 0.3% uncertainty). | ||
- High correlation (~92–95%) with wind tunnel data. | ||
|
||
**4.2 FEA Analysis** | ||
- Tools: **Abaqus** | ||
- Structural safety factor of **1.6** (± 0.1 margin) under max thrust loads. | ||
- Mode shape analysis confirms no critical resonance within 10–300 Hz range. | ||
|
||
**4.3 Wind Tunnel Testing** | ||
- Conducted on a **1:4 scale model**. | ||
- Drag reduction: **5.8% ± 0.5%** vs. baseline cone. | ||
- Good correlation (~90–95%) with CFD predictions, validating simulation fidelity. | ||
|
||
--- | ||
|
||
### **5. Sustainability and Lifecycle Management** | ||
|
||
**5.1 Lifecycle Analysis (LCA)** | ||
- Tools: **SimaPro**, **GaBi** | ||
- **20% CO₂ reduction** projected compared to baseline manufacturing processes. | ||
- Cumulative manufacturing energy usage lowered by ~10–12%. | ||
|
||
**5.2 Material Sustainability Plan** | ||
- ≥85% recyclability for CFRP/Al-Li assemblies (post-dismantling). | ||
- Implementation of **Design for Disassembly (DfD)**: quick removal of Q-01 integration components and cryogenic lines. | ||
|
||
**5.3 Long-Term Metrics** | ||
- **Carbon Neutrality**: Targeting carbon offsets for any residual emissions. | ||
- **Circular Economy**: Aim to reuse or recycle >95% of non-critical subparts. | ||
