Our project is to design a multirole fighter jet aircraft. A multirole fighter jet aircraft is an aircraft designed to perform different roles in warfare. The air-to-air combat role has been normally performed by fighter aircraft. In addition, a multirole fighter jet aircraft has secondary roles such as air-to-surface attack, intercepting, reconnaissance, escorting and air cover. The term multirole has been reserved for aircraft designed with the aim of using a common airframe for multiple tasks where the same basic airframe is adapted to a number of differing roles. The main motivation for developing multirole aircraft is cost reduction in using a common airframe. The project report comprises of a literature survey of about 10 fighter aircrafts. After this an appropriate aerofoil is selected and its important parameters are computed. Then, performance graphs are drawn and a 3-view diagram of the aircraft is drawn. Finally, model is made and tested.
