Design of a new twin propeller aircraft named P2006 T has been carried out at Tecnam aircraft industries during 2006. The new design, performed by Prof. L. Pascale, is based on the idea to built a 4-seat aircraft with two light engines (Rotax 912S, usually used for ultralight aircraft) and to enter the market with a twin-engine aircraft with the same weight of a single engine aircraft. The present paper shows all main criteria on which the design of the aircraft and the choice of the configuration have been based. At Dipartimento di Ingegneria Aerospaziale (DIAS) of University of Napoli “Federico II” a deep aircraft aerodynamic investigation has been performed both numerically and experimentally through an extensive wind-tunnel test campaign. All tests and research activities have been focused on the analysis and optimization of aircraft aerodynamics. Detailed measurements of fuselage and nacelle aerodynamic effects will be presented. Design and tests of winglets to improve rate of climb in OEI (One Engine Inoperative) condition will be presented.

Abstract
Design of a new twin propeller aircraft named P2006 T has been carried out at Tecnam aircraft industries during 2006. The new design, performed by Prof. L. Pascale, is based on the idea to built a 4-seat aircraft with two light engines (Rotax 912S, usually used for ultralight aircraft) and to enter the market with a twin-engine aircraft with the same weight of a single engine aircraft. The present paper shows all main criteria on which the design of the aircraft and the choice of the configuration have been based. At Dipartimento di Ingegneria Aerospaziale (DIAS) of University of Napoli “Federico II” a deep aircraft aerodynamic investigation has been performed both numerically and experimentally through an extensive wind-tunnel test campaign. All tests and research activities have been focused on the analysis and optimization of aircraft aerodynamics. Detailed measurements of fuselage and nacelle aerodynamic effects will be presented. Design and tests of winglets to improve rate of climb in OEI (One Engine Inoperative) condition will be presented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
