The purpose of this study is to provide baseline single-aisle vehicles for future comparisons with NASA’s Electrified Powertrain Flight Demonstration (EPFD) turbofan-powered Vision Systems. State-of-the-art single-aisle transports with varying design capacities of 100 to 150 passengers are modeled using NASA Ames Research Center’s General Aviation Synthesis Program (GASP) as well as GASPy. GASPy is a modernized Python-based version of GASP built on the OpenMDAO framework to allow for future, efficient gradient-based optimization and coupled airframe-propulsion design. In order to meet projected NASA Aeronautics goals for 2035, advanced aircraft technologies must be incorporated into these vehicle systems. Methodology to parametrically infuse baseline aircraft models with advanced technologies simulating improvements in aerodynamics, structures, and propulsion systems is detailed, along with the results of technology sensitivity studies. Comparison of the baseline and advanced configurations will allow for future analysis of the benefits of future hybrid and fully electric aircraft concepts in the EPFD project, where fuel consumption and emissions will be modeled and assessed. This study has been conducted under the EPFD project to establish benchmark turbofan models and demonstrate System Analysis capabilities in multi-disciplinary aircraft design, analysis, and optimization for advanced turbofan concepts.
