Download or read book Advances in Aircraft Brakes and Tires written by Robert Kyle Schmidt and published by SAE International. This book was released on 2015-08-24 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An aircraft’s interface with the ground—through its wheels, tires, and brakes—is critical to ensure safe and reliable operation, demanding constant technology development. Significant advancements have occurred with almost all civil airliners entering service with radial tires, and with the Boeing 787 having entered service in 2011 with electrically actuated carbon-carbon brakes. This book is divided into three sections: tires, control systems, and brakes, presenting a selection of the most relevant papers published by SAE International on these matters in the past fifteen years. They have been chosen to provide significant interest to those engineers working in the landing gear field. With almost all current large civil aircraft (and many smaller aircraft) opting exclusively for carbon-carbon brakes, a number of papers addressing the challenges of this technology are included. Papers touching on tire behavior and papers discussing brake control strategies are provided. For those looking for more information on aircraft landing gears, brakes, and tires, the SAE A-5 committee (the Aerospace Landing Gear Systems Committee), which meets twice a year, serves as a useful forum for discussion on landing gear issues and development. A current listing of documents produced and maintained by the A-5 committee is included in the appendix.

Download or read book The Future of Aerospace written by National Academy of Engineering and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1993-02-01 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few technological advances have affected the lives and dreams of individuals and the operations of companies and governments as much as the continuing development of flight. From space exploration to package transport, from military transport to passenger helicopter use, from passenger jumbo jets to tilt-rotor commuter planes, the future of flying is still rapidly developing. The essays in this volume survey the state of progress along several fronts of this constantly evolving frontier. Five eminent authorities assess prospects for the future of rotary-wing aircraft, large passenger aircraft, commercial aviation, manned spaceflight, and defense aerospace in the post-Cold War era.

Download or read book Advances in Aircraft Landing Gear written by Robert Kyle Schmidt and published by SAE International. This book was released on 2015-08-24 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aircraft landing gear system is relatively unique on board an aircraft—it is both structure and machine, supporting the aircraft on the ground, yet providing functions such as energy absorption during landing, retraction, steering, and braking. Advances in Aircraft Landing Gear is a collection of eleven hand-picked technical papers focusing on the significant advancements that have occurred in this field concerning numeric modeling, electric actuation, and composite materials. Additionally, papers discussing self-powered landing gear and more electrical overall aircraft architectures have been included. The content of Advances in Aircraft Landing Gear is divided into two sections: Analysis and Design Methods; and Electric Actuation, Control, and Taxi. For those looking for more information on aircraft landing gears, the SAE A-5 committee (the Aerospace Landing Gear Systems Committee), which meets twice a year, serves as a useful forum for discussion on landing gear issues and development. A current listing of documents produced and maintained by this committee appears in the appendix.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Flight Vehicle Integration Panel regularly addresses rotorcraft issues within the various subject areas and activities of the Panel's technical program, along side those of the other aviation modes. From time to time, however, the Panel dedicates a symposium exclusively to rotorcraft, for the purpose of taking stock in a more focused way of the expanding operational role of military rotorcraft and the evolution of the vehicle, its systems and technologies. In planning this latest in the series of dedicated rotorcraft symposia, the Panel could look back over almost a decade of progress and change since the 1986 symposium on 'Rotorcraft Design for Operations'. In that time, new rotorcraft have been designed and tested; others have been introduced into operational service; and on all sides, so-called new technologies have become commonplace in applications. The Gulf War put rotorcraft to the test in new war-fighting conditions, redefining terms such as 'degraded visual environment' and 'situational awareness' in a complex digital war in the desert. And finally, the defining event of this last decade, the end to the Cold War, has dramatically changed the posture of all of the western world militaries; it is widely accepted, however, that the new world that is emerging in place of the old will demand expanded use of rotorcraft.
Download or read book Unmanned Rotorcraft Systems written by Guowei Cai and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unmanned Rotorcraft Systems explores the research and development of fully-functional miniature UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) rotorcraft, and provides a complete treatment of the design of autonomous miniature rotorcraft UAVs. The unmanned system is an integration of advanced technologies developed in communications, computing, and control areas, and is an excellent testing ground for trialing and implementing modern control techniques. Included are detailed expositions of systematic hardware construction, software systems integration, aerodynamic modeling; and automatic flight control system design. Emphasis is placed on the cooperative control and flight formation of multiple UAVs, vision-based ground target tracking, and landing on moving platforms. Other issues such as the development of GPS-less indoor micro aerial vehicles and vision-based navigation are also discussed in depth: utilizing the vision-based system for accomplishing ground target tracking, attacking and landing, cooperative control and flight formation of multiple unmanned rotorcraft; and future research directions on the related areas.
Download or read book Effect of Advanced Technology on Rotorcraft Operating Costs written by Kenneth B. Amer and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operating costs of current rotorcraft are about three to four times those of turboprop aircraft. Such high operating costs inhibit the growth of rotorcraft utilization, in spite of their greater convenience. A study was conducted to investigate the effect of projected advances in rotorcraft technology on operating costs. The results of the study indicate that projected improvements in technology, particularly in empty-weight fraction and in engine-specific fuel consumption, are predicted to reduce rotorcraft operating costs to about two (for tilt rotor) to three (for helicopter) times those of turboprop aircraft. Such reduced operating costs of rotorcraft may make them competitive with turboprop aircraft because of the rotorcrafts reduced ground travel coupled with a reduction in the need for new airports.
