Wind-tunnel Investigation of the Aerodynamic Characteristics in Pitch and Sideslip at High Subsonic Speeds of a Wing-fuselage Combination Having a Triangular Wing of Aspect Ratio 4
Author: Paul G. FournierPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Airplanes
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
The results presented in the present paper are part of a program conducted to investigate the effect of wing plan form on the aerodynamic characteristics in pitch, in sideslip, and during steady roll. This paper presents the aerodynamic characteristics in pitch and sideslip at high subsonic speeds of a wing-fuselage combination having a triangular wing of aspect ratio 4, a leading-edge sweep of angle of 45 degrees, and with an NACA 65A006 airfoil section parallel to the plane of symmetry.
Fundamentals of Aircraft and Rocket Propulsion
Author: Ahmed F. El-SayedPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 1447167961
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 1025
Book Description
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.
A Modern Course in Aeroelasticity
Author: E.H. DowellPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401104999
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 724
Book Description
Aeroelasticity is the study of flexible structures situated in a flowing fluid. Its modern origins are in the field of aerospace engineering, but it has now expanded to include phenomena arising in other fields such as bioengineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering and nuclear engineering. The present volume is a teaching text for a first, and possibly second, course in aeroelasticity. It will also be useful as a reference source on the fundamentals of the subject for practitioners. In this third edition, several chapters have been revised and three new chapters added. The latter include a brief introduction to `Experimental Aeroelasticity', an overview of a frontier of research `Nonlinear Aeroelasticity', and the first connected, authoritative account of `Aeroelastic Control' in book form. The authors are drawn from a range of fields including aerospace engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, rotorcraft and turbomachinery. Each author is a leading expert in the subject of his chapter and has many years of experience in consulting, research and teaching.
Advances in Aerospace Guidance, Navigation and Control

Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
Over the last few decades, both the aeronautics and space disciplines have greatly influenced advances in controls, sensors, data fusion and navigation. Many of those achievements that made the word “aerospace” synonymous with “high–tech” were enabled by innovations in guidance, navigation and control. Europe has seen a strong trans-national consolidation process in aerospace over the last few decades. Most of the visible products, like commercial aircraft, fighters, helicopters, satellites, launchers or missiles, are not made by a single country – they are the fruits of cooperation. No European country by itself hosts a specialized guidance, navigation and controls community large enough to cover the whole spectrum of disciplines. However, on a European scale, mutual exchange of ideas, concepts and solutions is enriching for all. The 1st CEAS Specialist Conference on Guidance, Navigation and Control is an attempt to bring this community together. This book is a selection of papers presented at the conference. All submitted papers have gone through a formal review process in compliance with good journal practices. The best papers have been recommended by the reviewers to be published in this book.
Aircraft Loading and Structural Layout
Author: Denis HowePublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 632
Book Description
In this latest contribution to the conceptual design of an aircraft Denis Howe presents comprehensive coverage of all aspects of loading action analysis, together with the logical extension to the conceptual design of the airframe. He thereby meets two perceived needs which are not currently addressed by existing aircraft design texts, where loading analysis tends to be dealt with somewhat superficially, treating only the basic symmetric flight envelope, and where structural analysis often assumes that a certain level of design detail has already been established. Graduate and post-graduate level aeronautical students will welcome the approach offered by Aircraft Loading and Structural Layout. Practising engineers in the aircraft industry will find a useful loading action reference, providing a simple method for the derivation of initial structural data for input to advance analysis programs and the interpretation of the output from them.
An Investigation at Transonic Speeds of the Effects of Thickness Ratio and of Thickened Root Sections on the Aerodynamic Characteristics of Wings with 47© Sweepback, Aspect Ratio 3.5, and Taper Ratio 0.2 in the Slotted Test Section of the Langley 8-foot High-speed Tunnel

Book Description
Four wing-body combinations of the same plan form (47 degree sweep, 3.5 aspect ratio, and 0.2 taper ratio) were compared at transonic speeds in the Langley 8-foot high-speed tunnel. Three wings were 4, 6, and 9 percent thick; the fourth was 6 percent thick but, on the inner 0.4 span, tapered to 12-percent thickness at the roots.
