CE 1.2 Project Background
CE 1.2.1 Characteristics of the project
The project of Estimating Mission Performance of an Engine Cycle and Creating Its
Gas Flow Path Size was my first major project in aeronautical engineering career. The major
purpose of the project was to create a specific set of the various conceptual designing tools
and finally demonstrating the utilizations in several features. It is the proper analysis of a
subsonic civil jet aircraft that helps in simulating the total performance of the propulsion
system and other aircrafts. The proper evaluation of the engine cycle is not done in isolation
and thus the integration between engine airframe missions must be checked. We have
undertaken a particular case study in this project. The case study involved a basic computer
model for performing the mission analysis of the provided engine aircraft system. A digital
simulation is also done for the proper state performances of the aero gas turbine engine.
CE 1.2.2 Objectives developed for the project
The project of Estimating Mission Performance of an Engine Cycle and Creating Its
Gas Flow Path Size consisted of various important objectives. They are as follows:

 To estimate the mission performance of a specific engine cycle.
 To create the gas flow path size of that engine cycle.
CE 1.2.3 My area of work
My major area of work was to make the estimate of the engine cycle for the given
case study. I was responsible for the thermodynamic modelling and the digital simulation for
steady performance of an aero gas turbine engine. My other areas of work were to check on
the aero thermo mechanical compatibility with the help of demonstrating by the GFP or gas
flow path layout. I even checked the GFP size of the engine and the weight of the engine. the
estimation of weights was done properly and thus computer simulation and validation were
also done by me.

CE 1.2.5 My responsibilities throughout the project
I had various important responsibilities in this project. My first and the foremost
responsibility was to estimate the mission performances of the selected engine cycle. I
ensured that the provided mission requirements were the most important and vital for the
project. I was even responsible for calculating or estimating the gas flow path or GFP size as
well as weight. The proper computer simulation and the computer validation were also done
by me. The control of the budgetary aspects or finances was also my significant duty. I made
sure that the project does not exceed the decided budget and hence was responsible for the
overall successful execution of the project. I also researched about the design and
performance of the aircrafts and thus the performance as well as the flight mechanics was
noted by me. The aircraft translational motions were also checked by me. I even involved
various propulsion concepts within the project.
CE 1.3 Distinctive Activity
CE 1.3.1 Engineering knowledge and skills applied in the project
Several aeronautical skills and knowledge were applied in the project by me for
successfully executing it. The first and the foremost aeronautical skill and knowledge that I
had applied is the critical thinking power. Being an aeronautical engineer, critical thinking is
considered as the most important skill that is required for every project. The logic and
reasoning skills were also applied for the successful identification of all strengths and
weaknesses of every alternative solution or approaches to problems. Decision making was
another important skill that I have applied here for taking the decision between various
alternative solutions. Systems evaluation was also done by me for solving the issues.
