Abstract:

The following reports on the past four years of work to examine the feasibility, sustainability and economic viability of developing a renewable, greenhouse-gas-neutral, liquid biofuel for commercial aircraft. The sharp increase in environmental concerns, such as global warming, as well as the volatile price fluctuations of fossil fuels, has ignited a search for alternative transportation fuels. However, commercial aircraft can not use present alternative fuels that are designed for ground transportation. Aircraft also have much longer service lives, are capital intensive to purchase, require

Abstract:

Thesis (MEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Increasing air traffic and urbanisation has led to a cluttered airspace, particularly near airports, where both complex terrain and multiple moving obstacles are frequent. Accurately and efficiently predicting violations in safe separation criteria for commercial aircraft, a process called conflict detection, is therefore crucial in assessing risk associated with threats of collision. Existing avoidance systems in operation such as TCAS, EGPWS and ATC exhibit shortcomings, leaving room for uncertainty and possible conflict

Abstract:

Shock control bumps (SCBs) are considered promising flow control devices for transonic commercial aircraft. By generating a λ-shock structure, 2D SCBs offer large drag savings, but perform poorly when that structure breaks down off-design. Milder-performing 3D devices produce weak vortices, that may offer some boundary layer control, and SCBs also affect buffet via direct impact on shock motions and separation. To date however, design studies have largely ignored complications from the swept, spanwise-varying flows, so this thesis tackles the question of whether SCB arrays can offer useful ben

Airworthiness certification of commercial transport aircraft requires a safety analysis of the propulsion system to establish that the probability of a failure jeopardising the safety of the aeroplane is acceptably low. The needs and desired features of such a propulsion system safety analysis are discussed, and current techniques and assumptions employed in such analyses are evaluated. It is concluded that current assumptions and techniques are not well suited to predicting behaviour of the propulsion system in service.

Abstract:

A need has been established in industry and academic publications to link an engine's maintenance costs throughout its operational life to its design as well as its operations and operating conditions. The established correlations between engine operation, design and maintenance costs highlight the value of establishing a satisfactory measure of the relative damage due to different operating conditions (operational severity). The methodology developed in this research enables the exploration of the causal, physics-based relationships underlying the statistical correlations in the public domain

To improve the recoverability and survivability of aircraft after damage, a better understanding of the flight dynamics and the structural loads is needed. However, damage can introduce asymmetries that complicate the modeling. An extended vortex lattice code is used to model the quasi-steady aerodynamic forces. The vortex lattice method provides the force distribution which is not available elsewhere. Snapshots from the vortex lattice model are used to generate a reduced order model (ROM). This ROM contains non-linear terms to account for non-linearities that the damage can introduce. The ROM

The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.<br>Design and regulatory initiatives for aircraft noise and emissions should appreciate the integrated nature of the aircraft system. The computational ability exists to consider environmental and traditional performance objectives of aircraft concurrently. This context of multi-disciplinary system

Abstract:

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2000.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 181-187).<br>Autoflight systems in the current generation of aircraft have been implicated in several recent incidents and accidents. A contributory aspect to these incidents may be the manner in which aircraft transition between differing behaviours or "modes." The current state of aircraft automation was investigated and the incremental development of the autoflight system was tracked through a set of aircraft to gain insight into how these systems de
