    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). The max thrust (and related max power required) is one design point (possiby hi-speed flight or climb), but the low-power (cruise, or descent) regions are also...

    Is there any specific way to learn how to check drawings? any books or website that you can provide?

    In addition to the above tips and advices, i may try to expand a bit..

    What is meant by actuator dynamics?

    You can refer to "system dynamics" for an overall understanding of actuator dynamics. their dynamic behavior has basic properties, such as delay, overshoot, etc. their linearity (throughout their torque range) and stall characteristics are also part of their dynamics.

    SaaS based project management

    Hi, I'm not an expert on the field. I don't know the field of the project/or your company, but if it is similar to software, why not add GitHub to the list? Otherwise, 1) Sharepoint. Although somewhat slow, sharepoint can be considered a full-featured collaboration platform. We use it (among...

    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...
