Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the overall appearance of modern airliners has not changed a lot since the introduction of jetliners in the 1950s, their safety, efficiency and environmental friendliness have improved considerably. Main contributors to this have been gas turbine engine technology, advanced materials, computational aerodynamics, advanced structural analysis and on-board systems. Since aircraft design became a highly multidisciplinary activity, the development of multidisciplinary optimization (MDO) has become a popular new discipline. Despite this, the application of MDO during the conceptual design phase is not yet widespread. Advanced Aircraft Design: Conceptual Design, Analysis and Optimization of Subsonic Civil Airplanes presents a quasi-analytical optimization approach based on a concise set of sizing equations. Objectives are aerodynamic efficiency, mission fuel, empty weight and maximum takeoff weight. Independent design variables studied include design cruise altitude, wing area and span and thrust or power loading. Principal features of integrated concepts such as the blended wing and body and highly non-planar wings are also covered. The quasi-analytical approach enables designers to compare the results of high-fidelity MDO optimization with lower-fidelity methods which need far less computational effort. Another advantage to this approach is that it can provide answers to “what if” questions rapidly and with little computational cost. Key features: Presents a new fundamental vision on conceptual airplane design optimization Provides an overview of advanced technologies for propulsion and reducing aerodynamic drag Offers insight into the derivation of design sensitivity information Emphasizes design based on first principles Considers pros and cons of innovative configurations Reconsiders optimum cruise performance at transonic Mach numbers Advanced Aircraft Design: Conceptual Design, Analysis and Optimization of Subsonic Civil Airplanes advances understanding of the initial optimization of civil airplanes and is a must-have reference for aerospace engineering students, applied researchers, aircraft design engineers and analysts.

This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aerospace engineering is a domain of engineering that focuses on the development of aircraft and spacecrafts. It deals with the interaction between technological disciplines like aerodynamics, propulsion, avionics, materials science, structural analysis and manufacturing. It has two sub divisions namely aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering. It deals with the integration of various components that make up aerospace vehicle's subsystems and its lifecycle. The subsystems comprise of aerospace bearings, thermal control, life support, power, communications, etc. It focuses on designing, assembling, developing and testing aircraft and aerospace products. The aim of this field is to assess the cost and feasibility, determine quality standards, and examine malfunction and damage. This book discusses the fundamentals as well as modern approaches of aerospace engineering. Also included herein is a detailed explanation of the various concepts and applied principles of aerospace engineering. It is a vital tool for all researching and studying in this field.

Book excerpt: This report is a review of a team effort that focuses on advanced aerospace concepts of the 21st Century. The paper emphasis advanced technologies, rather than cataloging every unusual aircraft that has ever been attempted. To dispel the myth that "aerodynamics is a mature science" an extensive list of "What we cannot do, or do not know" was enumerated. A zeit geist, a feeling for the spirit of the times, was developed, based on existing research goals. Technological drivers and the constraints that might influence these technological developments in a future society were also examined. The present status of aeronautics, space exploration, and non-aerospace applications, both military and commercial, including enabling technologies are discussed. A discussion of non-technological issues affecting advanced concepts research is presented. The benefit of using the study of advanced vehicles as a tool to uncover new directions for technology development is often necessary. An appendix is provided containing examples of advanced vehicle configurations currently of interest.Jones, Gregory S. and Bangert, Linda S. and Garber, Donald P. and Huebner, Lawrence D. and McKinley, Robert E. and Sutton, Kenneth and Swanson, Roy C., Jr. and Weinstein, LeonardLangley Research CenterAEROSPACE ENGINEERING; MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH; AIRCRAFT DESIGN; AERODYNAMICS; COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT; MILITARY AIRCRAFT; HYPERSONIC FLIGHT; MANEUVERABILITY; SUPERSONIC COMBUSTION RAMJET ENGINES; AEROACOUSTICS; AEROTHERMODYNAMICS; COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS; CONTROL EQUIPMENT; PROPULSION; SEPARATED FLOW; BOUNDARY LAYER SEPARATION

Book excerpt: Prepared at the request of NASA, Aeronautical Technologies for the Twenty-First Century presents steps to help prevent the erosion of U.S. dominance in the global aeronautics market. The book recommends the immediate expansion of research on advanced aircraft that travel at subsonic speeds and research on designs that will meet expected future demands for supersonic and short-haul aircraft, including helicopters, commuter aircraft, "tiltrotor," and other advanced vehicle designs. These recommendations are intended to address the needs of improved aircraft performance, greater capacity to handle passengers and cargo, lower cost and increased convenience of air travel, greater aircraft and air traffic management system safety, and reduced environmental impacts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flight research and testing form a critical link in the aeronautic R and D chain. Brilliant concepts, elegant theories, and even sophisticated ground tests of flight vehicles are not sufficient to prove beyond doubt that an unproven aeronautical concept will actually perform as predicted. Flight research and testing provide the ultimate proof that an idea or concept performs as expected. Ever since the Wright brothers, flight research and testing have been the crucible in which aeronautical concepts have advanced and been proven to the point that engineers and companies have been willing to stake their future to produce and design new aircraft. This is still true today, as shown by the development of the experimental X-30 aerospace plane. The Dryden Flight Research Center (Ames-Dryden) continues to be involved in a number of flight research programs that require understanding and characterization of the total airplane in all the aeronautical disciplines, for example the X-29. Other programs such as the F-14 variable-sweep transition flight experiment have focused on a single concept or discipline. Ames-Dryden also continues to conduct flight and ground based experiments to improve and expand the ability to test and evaluate advanced aeronautical concepts. A review of significant aeronautical flight research programs and experiments is presented to illustrate both the progress made and the challenges to come. Putnam, Terrill W. and Ayers, Theodore G.
