1 Specifications and assumptions

We assume in this tutorial that the goal is to design an light sport aircraft (EASA CS-23) with the following specifications:

We suppose that the NACA 23012 airfoil was selected to be the main airfoil. We also assume that the empty mass of the aircraft has been estimated at 838 lbs / 380 kg. Adding 160 liters of fuel and passengers and payload, the max take-off mass is estimated at 1610 lbs / 730 kg.
