## **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.
