AIR SYSTEMS / CIVIL CONCEPT STUDIES

Aircraft studies for business travel, passengers and freight.

Our Air Systems programme compares aircraft concepts for three civil roles. Each study examines how its intended mission affects the aerodynamic layout, structure and propulsion requirements.

PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

The S-111, S-211 and S-221 are preliminary concepts. Published dimensions and speeds are study values. None of these aircraft is in production or service.

CONCEPT STUDY

01 / S-111

Near-sonic business aircraft

The S-111 is a compact business-aircraft concept with a Mach 0.97 speed target. Its pointed nose and forward canards form part of a preliminary layout for studying stability, control and systems integration.

Target speed: Mach 0.97
Length: 28 m

CONFIGURATION STUDY

02 / S-211

Cranked joined-wing supersonic transport

The S-211 is a passenger-aircraft study with joined wings and a cranked-delta planform. The proposed configuration is 53 metres long with a 21.88-metre span and a Mach 1.07 cruise target. These values remain preliminary.

Length: 53 m
Joined-wing span: 21.88 m

EARLY CONCEPT

03 / S-221

Long-range freight aircraft

The S-221 explores a freight aircraft derived from the S-211 concept. At approximately 80 metres long, it would require further study of cargo capacity, structural loads and operating efficiency.

Approx. length: 80 m
Mission focus: Freight
