1. Abstract

Simulation of an aircraft conceptual design methodology in a python GUI module. However, since the content of this module is contained in a single class file, it is not suitable for other applications at present.

Fig.2 Sizing plot simulation

• 1st sizing:

  This code shows the sizing plot graph. The sizing plot can be estimated aircraft parameters such that Thrust-Weight ratio, Weight-Wing area ratio on taking off.

3. Requirements

---

• python 3.7.x or 3.8.x
• poetry(package maneger):

If you do not have poetry installed, you can install it with the following command.

pip install poetry
make install-dev

if you use Anaconda3

conda install -c conda-forge poetry
make install-dev

More info is here.

If you use Docker, see below please.

how to use docker

4. Make usage

---

default: make = make start

Command	Description
make start	Run python file(default: src/1st-sizing/sizeplt-gui.py)
make install-dev	Install dependencies (For dev)
make install	Install dependencies (For prod)
make test	Test with pytest
make lint	Lint with pysen
make lint-fix	Lint fix with pysen
make clean	Remove __pycache__ files

If you are using windows, you can install the make command here. (Click the Setup button at the top.)
