    Using CAD to help with Aircraft Conceptual Design

    hello, some quick thoughts: 1. at the START of the Conceptual design, there's not fixed OML, yet.. The engine location, even number of engines, is under investigation, depending on their trade-offs against performance requirements. 2. This means, there will be several CAD models, representing...

    selection of airfoil and sizing of propeller

    Hi, in addition to rb1957, also, make sure that your engine can also supply the minimum and max RPMs and the necessary torque (/power).

    Primer on revisions and numbering

    Hello, PDM (Product Data Management) systems would work fine. Companies set them up, according to your needs. if the team is a small one and the approval process is a simple one, you could also consider Configuration Management Tools (e.g. Subversion, Tortoise, etc.) An important thing is...

    Keep information in an organized form

    Hi Kris, I'm working as a project manager (i.e. chief engineer) of a complex system, leading a group of 7 people who are themselves team leaders. One key thing I can suggest is, you would not have to know each detail information regarding your project. Your team members, as delegated, should...
