“…We studied a chosen group of civil light turboprop aircraft based on a classical aerodynamic scheme, with a horizontal tail in the tail part of fuselage, with take-off weight from 2,200 to 5,700 kg and with payload from 600 to 2,000 kg. The aerodynamic schemes of the following light aircraft of the studied type were chosen for the analysis: Cessna 441 Conquest II [17], Cessna 425 Corsair, Commander Jetprop 840 [18], EMB-121 Xingu, Merlin IIIB [20], Mu-2B-60 Marquise [21], PA-42 Cheyenne III, Beech Model 200 Super King Air, King Air F90, Cessna Caravan [19], TBM-850, Rysochok [17], Piaggio P-166, M 101T Gzhel, CM-92 T Turbo-Finist, Piper Cheyenne I (PA-31T-500I), Piper Meridian 500 [23], and A-viator [4,6,14,15,17,22]. Based on the Technical Requirements Specification and analysis of the parameters and characteristics of prototype aircraft [17], the concept for creating a new competitive KhAI-90 civil light aircraft was developed and the basic tactical and technical requirements (TTR) were identified.…”
