Design a propulsion system for a high-wing, T-tail, 12-seat utility aircraft for a range of 2500 km with the following characteristics:
The aircraft must be capable of cruising with a maximum cruising speed of 220 KTAS at 10 000 ft altitude. For this problem, you need to discuss and determine the following: (i) engine thrust/power at cruise, (ii) engine type, (iii) number of engine(s), (iv) engine(s) location, (v) engine selection, and (vi) prop diameter and number of blades (if prop-driven engine). The propulsion system must be of low manufacturing cost, low operating cost, with high efficiency, and airworthiness requirements must be met. Then, sketch a front view and a top view of the aircraft to show the propulsion system installation. Assume any other parameters as needed.
