Design Options Study. Volume IV. Detailed Analyses Supporting Appendices.
Abstract
The Advanced Civil/Military Aircraft (ACMA) is envisioned as an advanced-technology cargo aircraft with the potential for fulfilling the needs of both military airlift and commercial air freight in the 1990s and beyond. The ultimate goal of the Design Options Study is the development of fundamental information regarding both the military and commercial cost and effectiveness implications of the most significant transport aircraft functional design features. This volume, the Detailed Analyses Supporting Appendices of the Design Options Study Final Report, contains non-proprietary, detailed information and study methods used in the Study. This includes descriptions of the baseline aircraft that serve as the bases of the Qualitative Assessment; the computer-aided design methods used to assist in the redesign of aircraft incorporating each design option; and complete descriptions of each point design aircraft.
