    This document contains the preliminary specifications for a conceptual aircraft design called the CESSNA 3X. It lists details like the number of crew and passengers, dimensions, weights, performance characteristics and systems. The aircraft would have a high rectangular wing and be powered by a Lycoming IO-540 air-cooled flat-six engine. It was designed using characteristics from several existing Cessna models to test efficiency and specifications during flight.

    Conceptual Design

    Introduction:

    An American general aviation aircraft manufacturing corporation headquartered in


    Wichita, Kansas. Best known for small, piston-powered aircraft, Cessna also produced
    business jets. For many years the company was one of the highest-volume producers of
    general aviation aircraft in the world. Founded in 1927, it was purchased by General
    Dynamics in 1985, then by Textron, Inc. in 1992. In March 2014, when Textron purchased
    the Beechcraft and Hawker Aircraft businesses, Cessna ceased operations as a
    subsidiary company and joined the others as one of the three distinct brands produced
    by Textron Aviation.

    Aircraft Design is the science of engineering man-made machines that would help
    mankind fly. The design process starts with the aircraft's intended purpose. Commercial
    airliners are designed for carrying a passenger or cargo payload, long range and greater
    fuel efficiency where as fighter jets are designed to perform high speed maneuvers and
    provide close support to ground troops. Some aircraft have specific missions, for instance,
    amphibious airplanes have a unique design that allows them to operate from both land
    and water, some fighters, like the Harrier Jump Jet, have VTOL (Vertical Take-off and
    Landing) ability, helicopters have the ability to hover over an area for a period of time.

    This design shall be called “CESSNA 3X”. Since it is composed of different aircraft
    engines which has a goal of testing its efficiency and specifications which will be observed
    in all its flight in the given time.

    The aircraft will be designed with a plan to have enough propulsion and endurance
    while maintaining maximum cruising speed at a desired altitude. CESSNA 3X will have
    the fuselage and landing gear configuration of the Piper Cessna 195. The wings and
    empennage will be from the Cessna 182. The length and height will be based from
    Cessna Model A and Cessna 195. Using these characteristics, the birth of the concept
    aircraft known as “CESSNA 3X” had been formed.
