Despite 50 years of technological advancement since the inception of Concorde, research on supersonic passenger aircraft has only recently resulted in design and flight test of several small 12- to 55-passenger business jets with supersonic cruises between Mach 1.2 and 2.2. Analytical research designs of larger 300-passenger aircraft have been conducted only to speeds of Mach 2.0 and 2.2, mainly avoiding moving beyond turbojet propulsion. This research extends on an earlier multifactor regression sizing study to determine in greater design detail what the configuration of a 200-passenger Mach 3.0 aircraft could be using extant technology. This research article is the first part of two and covers the conceptual aircraft design evolution focussing on the aerodynamics, wing and fuselage. In contrast, the second article covers engine conceptual design and placement. Wing shape optimization is performed using fundamental CFD analysis to arrive at a configuration suitable for both subsonic and supersonic flight. Noise considerations and shock wave formation drive further design iterations based on the research literature. The viability of this research design informs a future multidisciplinary optimization like those recently published in the literature for smaller supersonic business jets.

尽管协和飞机问世以来已经取得了 50 年的技术进步，但对超音速客机的研究直到最近才完成了几架 12 至 55 人的小型商务喷气机的设计和飞行测试，其超音速巡航速度在 1.2 至 2.2 马赫之间。大型 300 座飞机的分析研究设计仅以 2.0 马赫和 2.2 马赫的速度进行，主要是避免超越涡轮喷气推进。这项研究扩展了早期的多因素回归尺寸研究，以更详细地确定使用现有技术的 200 名乘客 Mach 3.0 飞机的配置。这篇研究文章是两篇文章的第一部分，涵盖了以空气动力学、机翼和机身为重点的概念飞机设计演变。相比之下，第二篇文章介绍发动机概念设计和布局。使用基本 CFD 分析执行机翼形状优化，以达到适合亚音速和超音速飞行的配置。噪声考虑和冲击波的形成推动了基于研究文献的进一步设计迭代。这项研究设计的可行性为未来的多学科优化提供了信息，就像最近发表在小型超音速公务机文献中的那些优化一样。
