The aging E-2C fleet is expected to be retired by the year 2015. In order to
provide Airborne Early Warning (AEW) for the battle group during the
transitional years and beyond, the design of a replacement aircraft must begin
soon. In order to conform with present day economic realities, one possible
configuration is a new airframe using the radar system and rotodome which
currently operates on the E-2C. Other likely requirements for a new AEW
aircraft includes a high-speed dash (M=0. 7-0.85) capability, an extended
mission time (up to 7.5 hours), turbofan engines, and an aircrew ejection
system.
The results of this design effort includes an investigation of a possible
configuration and the aerodynamics involved. Performance and Stability &
Control characteristics are also discussed briefly. Finally, a qualitative analysis
of the use of the E-2C's radar system on a new airframe will be presented.
