Abstract

A notional third generation future turbofan engine model was developed by scaling a NASA reference geometry to the size required for use with a commercial transonic truss braced wing (TTBW) design aircraft. This engine was paired with slotted, natural laminar flow (SNLF) wing geometries to conduct a propulsion airframe integration (PAI) study, focused on the interference effects between the wing and engine. Four general engine positions were tested via computational fluid dynamics using the OVERFLOW code. It was found that the trailing edge under wing position produced the smallest interference drag and that full three-dimensional wing integration testing is still required to accurately optimize engine positioning.
