– The paper aims to present a way of engine model integration, an aircraft (multitask) and the mission into the single model that allows to study, from the level of selection of the engine cycle parameters, the feasibility of a specific mission with the assumed aerodynamic characteristics exemplified by a multitask airplane.

    Design/methodology/approach

    – There were introduced dimensionless geometric and energetic criteria, binding parameters of the engine and the airplane. The following models were built: of the turbofan engine and the aircraft movements with the application of these criteria, creating a dimensionless model allowing for measuring the impact of engine design parameters on the efficiency of the mission undertaken.

    Findings

    – The results were limited to the presentation of the impact of circuit parameters, such as engine TIT, OPR, BR on the defined criteria. The application of dimensionless criteria reduced the dimension of the task.

    Practical implications

    – The presented method can be useful for engineers involved in the task of engine integration and the airplane at the preliminary design stage.

    Originality/value

    – The originality of the presented solutions is reduced to provide a different, unconventional approach to the design process and not (so far) the engine itself but the entire aviation system.
