Flow of Pressure Over Surface

Results

■Based off of the data calculated:

■The range selected is 1,250 miles with a gross takeoff weight of 57,967.29 lbs.

■The payload selected would weigh 8,000 lbs. with a gross takeoff weight at 47,449.23 lbs.

■The aircraft is receiving a L/D ratio of 1.96 at an angle of attack of 14 degrees

■At 0 angle of attack the plane is receiving a L/D ratio of 1.93

In Conclusion

■The fuselage of the dolphin is efficient enough to produce lift

■The jet without winglets is indeed good enough to generate lift

■With the winglets, the jet does not produce proper lift with no AOA
