This book was released on 1973 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental investigation of the performance of an Air Cushion Landing System (ACLS) on a one-tenth scale model of a CC-115 Canadian aircraft is discussed. Several different types of tests were conducted on an extended version of the ACLS trunk at simulated fullscale trunk pressures of 315 psfg, out of ground effect, and 342 psfg, in ground effect. Cushion pressure was 160 psfg, in ground effect, during hover. The experiments involved: vertical drop tests to measure the effects of sink rate and initial attitude between full- sclae sink rates of 3.0 and 12.5 fps, and attitudes of pitch and roll from 0.0 to 12.0 and 0.0 to 7.5 degrees, respectively; static equilibrium tests to measure vertical stiffness, roll stiffness, pitch stiffness, and floor pressure exerted by the ACLS with loads up to 4.1 times the aircraft landing weight; and braking tests to obtain the effects of changing brake pillow thickness between simulated full-scale heights of 0.0 inches and 26.0 inches.

Download or read book Static and Drop Tests of a Quarter Scale Model of the CC 115 Aircraft Equipped with an Air Cushion Landing System written by John C Vaughn (III.) and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Static load deflection tests and vertical drop tests were performed on a quarter scale model of a Canadian CC-115 (Buffalo) aircraft equipped with an Air Cushion Landing System (ACLS). The model weighed 610 lbs and the ACLS air supply was furnished by two electric fans. The static load deflection tests showed that the model weight could be increased from 610 lbs to 1310 lbs before the fans stalled. The model deflection one inch when 560 lbs were added to it during hover over a solid surface. The portion of the weight supported by the trunk (instead of the cushion) increased from 3% at 610 lbs to 24% at 1310 lbs.

Download or read book Air Cushion Landing System Performance on a Tenth Scale Model Jindivik RPV written by Philip M Parker (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tests were conducted on an air cushion landing system ACLS installed on a tenth-scale model Jindivik RPV. The model has the correct Froude-scaled values of weight, center of gravity cg and moment of inertia about all three axes. The results of these tests were compared to the results of similar tests conducted on the ACLS of a full-scale model Jindivik. Static tests on the tenth- scale ACLS determined the heave stiffness to be 11 lb per in., the pitch stiffness to be .155 lb ft per deg (for a nose down moment) and the roll stiffness to be .0048 lb ft per deg. These values were within 60% of the full- scale values. Drop tests showed the maximum load at the cg of the model to vary between 2.2 g's at the scaled nominal landing rate of descent, to 5.4 g's at the maximum landing rate of descent.

This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by TPRC at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemina tion phases of the activity was transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we have concluded that it will be in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volume were handled by a well-known publishing house to assure improved service and better communication. Hence, effective with this Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences will be disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. As we embark on this new partnership with Plenum, we also initiate a new venture in that this important annual reference work now covers Canadian universities as well as those in the United States. We are sure that this broader base will greatly enhance the value of these volumes.
