Customer Experience
NYC’s Airports had 21,000 complaints in 2014
La-Guardia Airport received 1,360 Complaints in 2014 from one street alone!
Design RequirementsCapacity: 174 passengers, 5 crewRange: at least 7000 kmCruise speed: 0.8 MNoise level: 15 dB improvement from 118 dB
Weight EstimationMaximum Takeoff Weight: 82,200 kg
Empty Weight: 42,500 kg
Maximum Fuel Weight: 16,900 kg
Aircraft Noise Research & Data
Medical Effects of a DNL(dBA) of:
45-50 Interruption of Sleep
50-60 Speech Interference
65-75 Extra Auditory Physiological effects
75-85 Minor Hearing Loss
dB Sound Level: The dB is a logarithmic way of describing a sound pressure ratio. DNL: scale of measuring the average dB level while weighing night noise heavier. Acceptable dBA w/o Significant Complaints
Day dBA: < 55Night dBA: < 45
OSHA Suggests <90 dB for 8 hours a day.

Wing Dimensions
Wing surface area = 144.8 m^2
Aspect ratio = 9
Span = 36.11 m
Average chord = 4.01 m
Quarter chord sweep = 30°
Tail Selection - V-Tail
A V tail design was chosen in order for the plane to be distinguishable from other similar planes
Surface area of the tail = 47.6 m^2
Span = 13.8 m
Average chord = 3.45 m
Tail control surface area = 9.75 m^2

Boeing 787
Interior Selection29 rows, 174 passengers
20” width, 36” seat pitch
Leaves room for ~30-35” aisle
Brings cabin width to 4m
Larger seat pitch and more seats bring fuselage length to 41.67 m
Final Design
Future Steps● More in Depth Materials Selection
● FEA/CFD
● Structural Components
● More improvements focusing on air pollution
