Book excerpt: Pilots, aviation students, kitplane builders, aircraft fleet operators and aeronautical engineers can all determine how their propeller-driven airplanes will perform, under any conditions, by using the step-by-step bootstrap approach introduced in this book. A few routine flying manoeuvres (climbs, glides, a level speed run) will give the necessary nine numbers. High-school level calculations then give performance numbers with much greater detail and accuracy than many other methods - for the reader's individual aircraft.

Download or read book Steady Aircraft Flight and Performance written by N. Harris McClamroch and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-03 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This undergraduate textbook offers a unique introduction to steady flight and performance for fixed-wing aircraft from a twenty-first-century flight systems perspective. Emphasizing the interplay between mathematics and engineering, it fully explains the fundamentals of aircraft flight and develops the basic algebraic equations needed to obtain the conditions for gliding flight, level flight, climbing and descending flight, and turning flight. It covers every aspect of flight performance, including maximum and minimum air speed, maximum climb rate, minimum turn radius, flight ceiling, maximum range, and maximum endurance. Steady Aircraft Flight and Performance features in-depth case studies of an executive jet and a general aviation propeller-driven aircraft, and uses MATLAB to compute and illustrate numerous flight performance measures and flight envelopes for each. Requiring only sophomore-level calculus and physics, it also includes a section on translational flight dynamics that makes a clear connection between steady flight and flight dynamics, thereby providing a bridge to further study. Offers the best introduction to steady aircraft flight and performance Provides a comprehensive treatment of the full range of steady flight conditions Covers steady flight performance and flight envelopes, including maximum and minimum air speed, maximum climb rate, minimum turn radius, and flight ceiling Uses mathematics and engineering to explain aircraft flight Features case studies of actual aircraft, illustrated using MATLAB Seamlessly bridges steady flight and translational flight dynamics

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The concepts of increasing STOL capabilities to the larger transport and cargo class aircrafts have been limited by there considerable size and gross take-off weights. One concept considered was to integrate propulsion systems, i.e. turbo-propellers and turbo-jets, to be utilized for increasing STOL capabilities. The broad class of test vehicles considered for this integration are for a high wing propeller driven aircraft with the addition of a turbo-jet mounted on the under side between two turbo-propellers. A model was constructed to investigate the integration and to determine what inlet distortion trends that would be expected. The analysis was conducted at The Ohio State University Aeronautical and Astronautical Research Laboratory facility with the use of the 3' x 5' Eiffel Type Subsonic Wind Tunnel. The model consisted of two 2-hp electric motors that drove a set of two, three or four bladed -- 13" diameter propellers. Located slightly aft and below propeller plane and centerline respectively, was an engine simulator, scaled to represent a 5,000 lbs thrust class turbo-jet. The engine simulator inlet was equipped including four pressure rakes with 3 total pressure immersions radially inward on each rake. The engines simulator cowl could be rotated 45 degrees for eight pressure rake positions, summing to a total of 24 total pressure measurements on the engine simulator inlet that would correspond to a turbo-jet fan face. The investigations simulated the interaction effects from take-off, climb and cruise conditions with variations of the simulated model geometry and was broken into two segments: In-flight Interaction effects and Take-off Interaction effects. The In-flight investigations required the model to be mounted with in the wind tunnel for simulation, ultimately determining the model size. Using the measured total pressures, the inlet distortions recorded have a measurement uncertainty of 2.4% and 2.1% for the In-flight wind tunnel investigations and Take-off static stand investigations respectively. The uncertainties are from combinations of pressure sensor instrumentation and repeatability in facility setup when the engine simulator cowl position change was required. The results gathered shows acceptable static distortion rates to transport aircraft engines (

This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary human activities that release carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere are the combustion of fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil) to generate electricity, the provision of energy for transportation, and as a consequence of some industrial processes. Although aviation CO2 emissions only make up approximately 2.0 to 2.5 percent of total global annual CO2 emissions, research to reduce CO2 emissions is urgent because (1) such reductions may be legislated even as commercial air travel grows, (2) because it takes new technology a long time to propagate into and through the aviation fleet, and (3) because of the ongoing impact of global CO2 emissions. Commercial Aircraft Propulsion and Energy Systems Research develops a national research agenda for reducing CO2 emissions from commercial aviation. This report focuses on propulsion and energy technologies for reducing carbon emissions from large, commercial aircraftâ€" single-aisle and twin-aisle aircraft that carry 100 or more passengersâ€"because such aircraft account for more than 90 percent of global emissions from commercial aircraft. Moreover, while smaller aircraft also emit CO2, they make only a minor contribution to global emissions, and many technologies that reduce CO2 emissions for large aircraft also apply to smaller aircraft. As commercial aviation continues to grow in terms of revenue-passenger miles and cargo ton miles, CO2 emissions are expected to increase. To reduce the contribution of aviation to climate change, it is essential to improve the effectiveness of ongoing efforts to reduce emissions and initiate research into new approaches.
