Abstract
This paper reviews the state-of-the art prehensive performance codes for fixed-wing aircraft. The importance of system analysis
in flight performance is discussed. The paper highlights the role of aerodynamics, propulsion, flight mechanics, aeroacoustics, flight
operation, numerical optimisation, stochastic methods and numerical analysis. The latter discipline is used to investigate the sensitivities
of the sub-systems to uncertainties in critical state parameters or functional parameters. The paper discusses critically the data used for
performance analysis, and the areas where progress is required.
Comprehensive analysis codes can be used for mission fuel planning, envelope exploration, competition analysis, a wide variety of
environmental studies, marketing analysis, aircraft certification and conceptual aircraft design.
prehensive program that uses the multi-disciplinary approach for transport aircraft is presented. The model includes a geometry deck,
a separate engine input deck with the main parameters, a database of engine performance from an independent simulation, and an operational
deck. prehensive code has modules for deriving the geometry from bitmap files, an aerodynamics model for all flight conditions, a
flight mechanics model for flight envelopes and mission analysis, an aircraft noise model and engine emissions. The model is validated at
different levels. Validation of the aerodynamic model is done against the scale models DLR-F4 and F6. A general model analysis and flight
envelope exploration are shown for the Boeing B-777-300 with GE-90 turbofan engines with intermediate passenger capacity (39
