 I added another axis to plot the side view and centerline. This is to make sure the nose and tail are offset from the centerline correctly.

 Can now also plot internal layout of pax seats, cockpit, lavatory, and galley. These locations will come in useful for calculating center of mass and longitudinal stability later.

 Area vs Length plot for Area Ruling. I havent accounted for wing/engine area yet; this is just the fuselage.

MATLAB Project: Fuselage Designer

October 12, 2015

This project builds off my previous MATLAB project for designing and making wings in CAD. I have added basic fuselage plotting capabilities. The user simply defines the maximum diameter and fineness ratios to determine the fuselage length. Then, 11 cross sections are defined by their widths and heights. The shapes of the cross sections are assumed to be ellipses. The tail angle can also be changed. Wing twist has also been added; root and chord angles can now be set.

 

10/14/15 - Added 3 additional plots: fuselage side view, top view, and max diameter section view. The program can now display seating arrangements, galley, and lavatory locations.
