The present work describes an aircraft design methodology that uses the wingspan and its mean aerodynamic chord as main design parameters. In the implemented tool, low fidelity models have been developed for the aerodynamics, stability, propulsion, weight, balance and flight performance. A Fortran® routine that calculates the aircraft performance for the user defined mission and vehicle’s performance requirements has been developed. In order to demonstrate this methodology, the results for a case study using the design specifications of the Air Cargo Challenge 2013 are shown.
