Purpose This paper aims to present a preliminary study on a disruptive vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) configuration based on the best wing system concept by L. Prandtl. Design/methodology/approach A preliminary design has been addressed from several points of views: a conceptual design has been carried out thanks to in-house optimization tool; aerodynamic performances, propulsion design and mechanical design have been addressed to make the first prototype for preliminary vertical flight tests. Findings The study shows the feasibility of box-wing configuration for VTOL aircraft. Practical implications The work shows a general design procedure for box-wing unmanned air vehicle (UAV) configuration. The study of this configuration can be easily adopted in wider range, from UAV to general aviation. In the last category, it can be a promising configuration for the future of urban air mobility. Originality/value This work lays the foundation for studying and testing box-wing configuration for unmanned VTOL aircraft. The design procedure can be scaled to manned aircraft belonging to general aviation aircraft.

Parameter ratios are important information for the ship designer in the preliminary design stages. They can be used as a tool to identify the main parameter of vessel and their other technical characteristics. The information about parameter ratios of mono-hull vessel is currently available in Naval Architecture literatures, but it is not the case for the type of twin-hull vessel called catamaran. Having conducted technical analysis in this research, it has been identified that parameter ratios of passenger catamaran vessel made of FRP has values of L / B ratio from 2.52 up to 3.7, L / D ratio from 5.25 up to 11:24, slenderness ratio (Lwl/BwL) from  9 up to 12. Other values of various parameter ratios like B/T, D/T, L /√ L, and Displacement/L are also discussed.

Bantu Hidro-Oceanography (BHO) adalah salah satu satuan bantu dalam bidang survei Hidro-Oceanography yang termasuk dalam susunan tempur pendukung (Supporting Force). Untuk kepentingan tersebut maka preliminary design kapal Hidro-Oceanography dilaksanakan sebagai langkah awal dalam perencanaan dan pengadaan kapal Hidro-Oceanography untuk mengkaji karakteristik umum desain yaitu hidrostatik dan stabilitas sehingga aspek kelayakan kapal dapat terpenuhi. Analisa hasil kajian kinerja kapal Hidro-Oceanography dipersiapkan untuk pengujian tahanan/resistance model kapal.Keywords : Preliminary design1, Hydrostatic2, Stability3
