Abstract:

This paper discusses a new design approach for very light jet aircraft (VLJ). The design process that covers by this paper is just from conceptual approach. Current technical information of the light jet aircraft in the market will be studied for competitor analysis purposes. After that, the calculation process will take part, like initial sizing, wing design and aircraft performance. To improve the operational flexibility and the aircraft performance, three surface configuration and laminar flow technology will be applied to the above VLJ. Description is then given of the aerodynamic design of a wing which incorporated both three surface configuration and laminar flow technologies. It concludes with a discussion of the results and recommendations for future work.
