Preliminary design of next generation Mach 1.6 supersonic business jets to investigate landing & take-off (LTO) noise and emissions – SENECA.

Abstract With the approach of next generation supersonic transport entry into service, new research activities were initiated to support updates on ICAO regulations and certification processes for vehicles. Within this context, EU Horizon 2020 SENECA project has been launched investigate levels noise gaseous emissions in vicinity airports as well global climate impact civil aircraft. This paper introduces some preliminary outcomes investigation. It presents design performance analysis a Mach 1.6 business jet, following an integrated aircraft-engine approach. The was performed accounting limitations posed by future environmental restrictions respective subsonic market space mission route definition exercise assumed only “over-sea” operations, while “over-land”, operations where allowed. Parametric studies engine demonstrated modest core temperatures cruising significant installation performance. At first iteration, assuming current state art technology, jet showed good potential satisfy predicted requirements respecting constraints terms Landing & Take-Off (LTO) emissions.
