| description | Designing a new General Aviation (GA) aircraft is a complex and demanding task, particularly when aiming to achieve competitiveness, reliability, safety, and cost-effectiveness. This article outlines the initial design considerations for a GA aircraft, focusing on configuration, regulatory compliance, key features, and intended operational missions. The discussion is framed within the context of an ongoing development project at INCAS Bucharest, targeting EASA CS-23 certification and market entry by the end of 2030. The initiative was driven by data from a preliminary market analysis conducted three years ago, which indicated a significant and growing demand for GA aircraft across both the EU and the USA. In addition to the technical aspects, the article addresses major challenges and highlights the importance of adopting a flexible design mindset to accommodate future upgrades, ensure environmental sustainability, and maintain overall feasibility. However, with the use of modern and appropriate tools and the commitment of a dedicated, highly engaged team, the project’s objectives may be achieved ahead of schedule. |
