Installed nacelle aerodynamics at cruise and windmilling conditions

Francisco Sánchez-Moreno, David MacManus, Fernando Tejero, Josep Hueso-Rebassa, Christopher Sheaf

The decrease in specific thrust achieved by Ultra-High Bypass Ratio (UHBPR) aero-engines allows for a reduction in specific fuel consumption. However, the typical associated…

Research on insect-like long endurance hovering double-wing FMAV prototype

Yichen Zhang, Feng Cui, Wu Liu, Wenhao Zhu, Yiming Xiao, Qingcheng Guo, Jiawang Mou

Endurance time is an important factor limiting the progress of flapping-wing aircraft. In this study, this paper developed a prototype of a double-wing flapping-wing micro air…

Accuracy compensation method with the combined dissimilar measurement devices for enhanced measurement quality: a digital aircraft assembly technology

Md Helal Miah, Dharmahinder Singh Chand, Gurmail Singh Malhi

The pivotal aspect of aircraft assembly lies in precise measurement accuracy. While a solitary digital measuring tool suffices for analytical and small surfaces, it falls short…

Research on relative reachable domain in target orbit for maneuvering spacecraft

Xuehua Li, Lei Zhang

Lots of successful space missions require that the maneuvering spacecraft can reach the target spacecraft. Therefore, research on relative reachable domain (RRD) in target orbit…

Optimization of flight conditions based on performance sensitivity analysis for jet transport aircraft

Wei Jiang, Hun Guo, Danye Zhu, Ray C. Chang

This study aims to enhance the fuel efficiency of jet transport aircraft based on mathematical models and flight crew operating manual (FCOM) for the purpose to assist the civil…

Self-learning for translational control of elliptical orbit spacecraft formations

Weijia Lu, Chengxi Zhang, Fei Liu, Jin Wu, Jihe Wang, Lining Tan

This paper aims to investigate the relative translational control for multiple spacecraft formation flying. This paper proposes an engineering-friendly, structurally simple, fast…

Safety evaluation of human-caused errors in civil aviation based on analytic hierarchy process and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method

Yi Chai, Yungang Wang, Yuansheng Wang, Le Peng, Lvyuan Hou

At present, the statistics of human error events in domestic civil aviation are limited, and the analysis indicators are difficult to quantify. The purpose of this study is to…

Fixed-time fault-tolerant attitude tracking control for UAV based on fixed-time extended state observer

Qilong Wu, Qidan Zhu

To improve the robustness of carrier-based unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with actuator faults attitude tracking control system, this paper aims to propose a fixed-time…

Improvement of inert-gas distribution for fuel tanks with the objective of minimum bleed flowrate

Xinyu Lin, Weihua Liu

To ensure the safety of aircraft fuel tanks, the FAA issued an airworthiness clause (25.981(b)) suggesting that the risk of combustion and explosion be reduced by installing a…
