Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study was made to evaluate competency of pilots trained in aircraft having a stability augmentation system. This is to determine the necessity of issuing restricted certificates to private pilots if they are unable to pass the private flight check by manual operation of controls. This project was to train five students to required flight performance for a private pilot certificate in a Cherokee-140 equipped with the Mitchell AK-153 Stability Augmentation System. When the students reached private pilot proficiency, they were given three flight checks. The first with the system on, the second with it off, and the third in a different aircraft without the stability system. All students passed the checks without difficulty. The results of the project indicate that all students reached private pilot proficiency in an average time. The stability system had no particular effect on the students' control of the aircraft with or without visual references. Therefore, it would seem unnecessary to issue restricted pilot certificates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experiment was performed to investigate the proficiencies of student pilots trained to the required flight performance for a private pilot's certificate in airplanes incorporating a stability augmentation system. Two selected flight schools trained five subjects each. Upon reaching the required proficiency, each student was given three separate flight checks with and without the use of the stability systems and an additional check in a same class airplane not having a stability system. Results indicated pilot competence was not effected one way or another by training with such a system. All students met the required performance standards and were issued unlimited private pilots certificates. (Author).

This book was released on 1971 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report presents the design of a helicopter stability and control augmentation system using optimal control techniques. The helicopter used as an example was the Sikorsky H-53, but the design procedure is applicable to other helicopters as well. Only the longitudinal dynamics are considered. A technique is described for the design of multivariable feedback controllers based upon results in optimal control theory. For a specified performance index the feedback controller is obtained by solving the matrix Riccati equation. A model is used in the forward controller such that the response of the model to pilot inputs approximates the desired helicopter response. A fixed gain controller is obtained which may be used over the entire helicopter flight envelope. The results show that optimal control theory can be used to design a helicopter stability and control augmentation system. Responses obtained may be classified as those which are desirable and yield good handling qualities. (Author).

This book was released on 1976 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An AH-1G Cobra Helicopter (minus the tailsection) was mounted in a vertical position by personnel at the Ware Simulation Center, Rock Island Arsenal, and the response of the fuselage to various applied loads was then measured. The response, measured as deflections in the direction of applied load, will be used by Bell Helicopter Company for the validation of their NASTRAN math model of the Cobra Helicopter. Initial results of the test indicate good agreement between the experimentally measured deflections and the math model predicted deflections.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the results of an engineering flight evaluation conducted to determine the technical engineering flight characteristics of the prototype Model 209, S/N N209J, Huey Cobra weapons helicopter. This evaluation was conducted by the U.S. Army Aviation Test Activity (USAAVNTA), Edwards Air Force Base, California. Tests were conducted at Edwards Air Force Base, California. Twenty-nine flights were made for a total of 32 hours flying time during the period 13 November through 1 December 1965. The USAAVNTA was assigned responsibility for preparing the test plan, executing the test and preparing the test report. The results of these tests show that the Cobra design offered speed, maneuverability, good fields of vision from the cockpit, and other desirable armed aircraft characteristics not presently available from any helicopter in the U.S. Army inventory. The maximum (power limited) level flight airspeed at sea level with no external stores and the landing gear retracted was 162 knots true airspeed. Acceptable vibration levels and flight characteristics for a weapons platform were present during all test conditions which included the limit dive speed of 190 knots calibrated airspeed (KCAS).

Download or read book Fundamentals of Aircraft and Rocket Propulsion written by Ahmed F. El-Sayed and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-25 with total page 1025 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive basics-to-advanced course in an aero-thermal science vital to the design of engines for either type of craft. The text classifies engines powering aircraft and single/multi-stage rockets, and derives performance parameters for both from basic aerodynamics and thermodynamics laws. Each type of engine is analyzed for optimum performance goals, and mission-appropriate engines selection is explained. Fundamentals of Aircraft and Rocket Propulsion provides information about and analyses of: thermodynamic cycles of shaft engines (piston, turboprop, turboshaft and propfan); jet engines (pulsejet, pulse detonation engine, ramjet, scramjet, turbojet and turbofan); chemical and non-chemical rocket engines; conceptual design of modular rocket engines (combustor, nozzle and turbopumps); and conceptual design of different modules of aero-engines in their design and off-design state. Aimed at graduate and final-year undergraduate students, this textbook provides a thorough grounding in the history and classification of both aircraft and rocket engines, important design features of all the engines detailed, and particular consideration of special aircraft such as unmanned aerial and short/vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. End-of-chapter exercises make this a valuable student resource, and the provision of a downloadable solutions manual will be of further benefit for course instructors.

Book excerpt: This book introduces readers to industrially important enzymes and discusses in detail their structures and functions, as well as their manifold applications. Due to their selective biocatalytic capabilities, enzymes are used in a broad range of industries and processes. The book highlights selected enzymes and their applications in agriculture, food processing and discoloration, as well as their role in biomedicine. In turn, it discusses biochemical engineering strategies such as enzyme immobilization, metabolic engineering, and cross-linkage of enzyme aggregates, and critically weighs their pros and cons. Offering a wealth of information, and stimulating further research by presenting new concepts on enzymatic catalytic functions in basic and applied contexts, the book represents a valuable asset for researchers from academia and industry who are engaged in biochemical engineering, microbiology and biotechnology.
Download or read book Rotorcraft Aeromechanics written by Wayne Johnson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-29 with total page 949 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rotorcraft is a class of aircraft that uses large-diameter rotating wings to accomplish efficient vertical take-off and landing. The class encompasses helicopters of numerous configurations (single main rotor and tail rotor, tandem rotors, coaxial rotors), tilting proprotor aircraft, compound helicopters, and many other innovative configuration concepts. Aeromechanics covers much of what the rotorcraft engineer needs: performance, loads, vibration, stability, flight dynamics, and noise. These topics include many of the key performance attributes and the often-encountered problems in rotorcraft designs. This comprehensive book presents, in depth, what engineers need to know about modelling rotorcraft aeromechanics. The focus is on analysis, and calculated results are presented to illustrate analysis characteristics and rotor behaviour. The first third of the book is an introduction to rotorcraft aerodynamics, blade motion, and performance. The remainder of the book covers advanced topics in rotary wing aerodynamics and dynamics.
