Abstract

We present the design of a novel VTOL/STOL aircraft capable of carrying 40 passengers. Apart from the ability of taking off and landing vertically, it is designed to cruise at an altitude of 28,000 ft. at a cruising speed of 360 knots up to a maximum range of 1000 nautical miles. We provide details of the design geometry, the power plant, gross weight, seating arrangements and other details. The proposed design more than meets the requirements of the US Army Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA).
