Hi,

Presently I am doing my project and I require data of aircrafts (fighter, transport or propeller) for
***velocity, wing area, weight, aspect ratio, oswald coeff, cdo, thrust specific fuel consumption, thrust****

I need ALL of the above listed data for as many aircrafts as possible for my fyp. I have searched online and several books for these data but all of them only have partial of the data i required as I need ALL of the above mentioned.

Anyone of you have any idea where to get the COMPLETE data of the above mentioned variables for as many jet-engine aircrafts? Thank you very much in advance.

I have a sneaky feeling a lot of the data you're asking for may be proprietrary data depending on the manufacturer. Maybe someone will correct me on this....

You need to get your hands on a Boeing Performance Engineers Manual, it will have the most accurate information that is available to the public.

Good Luck

McAero is right. CDo and efficiency factors are proprietary data. No manufacturer gives that stuff out. I had a similar problem when I was doing my project for my degree.

The geometrical terms you can get pretty easily from Jane’s or even Wikipedia.

For the aero terms I suggest you will have to estimate them with empirical methods.
