using theoretical methods

The performance of the EV-97-O shall be determined using theoretical methods. More
accurate performance estimates may be determined using graphical and/or numerical
methods. The aerodynamic characteristics of the EV-97-O shall be estimated from
the EV-97 POH with appropriate adjustments for the intended modifications.
The flight test data shall be provided, and are obtained from actual flight tests.
The characteristic parameters (characteristic roots or eigenvalues) in terms of
damping, natural frequency and/or time constant of each mode shall be compared for
the three methods (analytical, LEOM and flight test) for the following primary dynamic
modes of the EV-97:-
 Phugoid
 Roll subsidence (not required for LEOM)
 Dutch roll (no required for LEOM)
For the analytical methods, only the approximate and simplified methods are required
to be implemented. Use of the non-dimensional form is required. Time domain comparisons may be
performed if this enhances your results.
The mandatory numerical model to be used for assessing the dynamic stability of the
EV-97 is the small disturbance linearised equations of motion model in the form of the
windows executable program leom.exe.
For the X-Plane simulations for the PA-28, more than one loading should be assessed.
6. Submission/Report Information
The submission deadline is on 3 AUG 2021, at 2 pm. Submissions shall be individual.
Your submission will be run through SafeAssign to help assess originality.
Your engineering report shall contain the detailed calculations of the results in an
Appendix so that you can demonstrate verification of your results. No computer code
shall be used in the report. Without the verified calculations, no marks can be awarded
for any work no matter how correct the results may appear to be.
Your submission will be graded according to the marking criteria listed at the end of
this specification. Note that you can only be graded on what has been submitted and
the quality of the communication.
The report shall be written so that it can be understood by a graduate BEng Aerospace
Engineering graduate.
No computer code shall be read, consulted or referred to when grading the report i.e.
computer code is not documentation.
Screen shots of Excel spreadsheets and Matlab code are not acceptable for reports.
Correct formatting of inputs, equations and results are expected. No project management or personal reflection shall be graded.
6.1. Submission Requirements and Files
The engineering report shall be submitted in PDF format as a single file.
6.2. Limitations
The report shall be limited to 3000 words excluding front matter, references,
appendices, tables and equations. Whilst the use of appendices can reduce word
count, the report shall be self-standing without the appendices.
The report shall have a font size of no smaller than 11pt, line spacing of no less than
1.3 and be full justified.
6.3. Plagiarism, Collusion, Contract Cheating, Falsification
and Fabrication
Please note that plagiarism, collusion, contract cheating, falsification and fabrication
are assessment offences. Ensure you are familiar with this policy (see
http://www2.uwe.ac.uk/services/Marketing/aboutus/pdf/Policies/Assessment_offences_policy.pdf)
At the time of writing, the policy lists some (but not exclusively) examples of plagiarism
as
“Copying from another person’s work without the use of quotation marks;
“Copying from another person’s work without referencing/acknowledgement of the
sources;
“Summarising another person’s work by simply changing a few words or altering the
order of presentation, without acknowledgement;
“Paraphrasing material from a source without acknowledging the original author;
“Presenting concepts or designs that have been created by others without
acknowledging the original source;
