Structural Requirements for Design and Analysis of 25% Scale Subsonic Single Aft Engine (SUSAN) Research Aircraft

The purpose of this paper is to define a set of structural requirements which can be used for conceptual design studies of the Subsonic Single Aft eNgine (SUSAN) aircraft and the early design phases of a quarter scale flight research aircraft. SUSAN presents an architecture for a subsonic regional jet transport aircraft coupling a single turbofan engine to an electrified aircraft propulsion system (EAP). Presented within this paper are a consolidated set of requirements drawn from NASA, FAA (FAR), and non-government structural standards with a focus on loads. An example application of the breakout load tables and the approach for applying existing standards to those configurations is presented for the SUSAN 25% flight research vehicle. Positioning of the turbofan, electric engines, battery and the requirement for the 25% vehicle to be shippable in a cargo box are atypical structural design requirements. Particular focus is given to the primary aircraft structural elements such as the engine/tail mount, fuselage structure, and wing structure.
