Density altitude • The efficiency of the propeller or rotor — which for a propeller (effectively an airfoil) behaves similarly to lift on wings. • The power output of the engine — power output depends on oxygen intake, so the engine output is reduced as the equivalent “dry air” density decreases and produces even less power as moisture displaces oxygen in more humid conditions. Aircraft taking off from a "hot and high" airport such as the Quito Airport or Mexico City are at a significant aerodynamic

Private jets industry belongs to general aviation aircraft domain and is one the important area of general aviation industry development. General aviation aircraft industry in the United States is most developed with about 224,000 private jests, accounting more than 78% of the total in the world. In China, the total number of private jets is only about 200, much less than that of US. But the private jets market is full of opportunities. According to a recent report, in China, there are about 825

CONSTRAINT ANALYSIS The two parameters (i) wing loading and (ii) power loading are the most important parameters that affect the airframe design and its performance. Wing loading and power loading are interconnected for a number of design parameters and because of this interconnection it is difficult to use historical data to independently select these values. Hence a different approach needs to be followed. The team decided to use sizing matrix plots to find the optimum value of the two parameters
