Cardinal Aircraft Design
Using the principles of flight dynamics and characteristics, our team designed a high performance long-haul private jet.
The report here includes:
Developed a next-gen business jet concept that blends ultra-long-range performance with short-field agility - powered by twin Rolls-Royce Pearl 10X engines and a super-critical wing optimized for Mach 0.85+ cruise.
This wasn’t just a class project - it was a deep dive into real-world aerospace design: aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, systems, mission analysis, and life-cycle economics.
