Abstract:

Fighter aircraft wings are the leading lift generating components for any aerospace vehicle. The recital of any flying vehicle largely depends on its wing design. Missiles and the fighter aircrafts which are having propulsion system mostly have fins to control and maneuver. In this present paper work an attempt has been made to design a fighter aircraft wing configuration which will be used in some air launched air to surface guided weapons fighter aircraft. The main focus of this paper agreement in determining the Sweep-back effects on fighter aircraft wing under transonic condition at differ

This paper aims at describing how to design for human factors in the technology-intensive domain of fighter aircraft. Similar to space industry, the fighter aircraft industry has to manage technology-intensive development where the end user often has implicit or explicit human factors requirements or expectations that has to be managed though design. This paper describes the specifics of the domain of fighter aircraft development with examples of what is special and design concepts to handle it. Specifically useful human factors' considerations are highlighted and recommended approaches for ma

Abstract:

An aircraft is an advanced mechanical structure made by man which has been dominating the skies from the early 19th centuries. It has been used for transportation of cargo/ passengers from one place to another in a shorter period of time. Advances in aeronautics lead to the development of fighter aircrafts with exciting and dominating characteristics. A fighter aircraft is to be designed in such a way that it can withstand heavy loadings on the wing due to its high manoeuvrability. A fighter aircraft is designed to be marginally unstable, which makes control easier and better during manoeuvrab

The program covering the design and early technology development of Configuration E-7, a supersonic STOVL Fighter/Attack aircraft, is described. This aircraft uses the ejector principle to augment engine fan air for vertical lift. The initial design objectives selected in 1980 are listed and discussed. Some design considerations applicable to the propulsion concept and the chosen configuration are mentioned. The test program accomplished thus far, including wind tunnel models plus other test articles and activities, is outlined. The program has proceeded without major technological obstacles a

Abstract:

In recent years aircraft maintenance practices have been influenced by changes in aircraft design philosophy and improvements in engineering technology. Advances in manufacturing techniques and material specifications have made it less necessary to carry out frequent disassembly of aircraft and components to establish confidence. The need to be competitive and to reduce costs has meant that the aviation industry has sought to gain advantage from these improvements by moving from time consuming and cost extensive, invasive maintenance to a philosophy of on condition maintenance (OCM).

This thesis presents results of the application of energy-based large-scale optimization of a two-subsystem (propulsion subsystem (PS) and airframe subsystem-aerodynamics (AFS-A)) air-to-air fighter (AAF) with two types of AFS-A models: a fixed-wing AFS-A and a morphing-wing AFS-A. The AAF flies 19 mission segments of a supersonic fighter aircraft mission and the results of the study show that for very large structural weight penalties and fuel penalties applied to account for the morphing technology, the morphing-wing aircraft can significantly outperform a fixed-wing AAF counterpart in term

Abstract:

The working situation of fighter pilots is often very challenging. The pilots are requested to perform their tasks and make decisions in situations characterised by time-pressure, huge amounts of data and high workload, knowing that wrong decisions might result in fatal consequences. To aid the pilots, several automatic support systems have been implemented in modern fighter aircraft and will continue to be implemented in pace with technological advancements and new demands posed on the pilots. For example, innovations within the information fusion (IF) domain have made it possible to fuse lar

In particular, a morphing-wing AAF is compared to a traditional fixed-wing AAF by applying large-scale optimization using exergy- and energy-based objective functions to the synthesis/design and operation of the AAF which consists of an Airframe Subsystem (AFS-A) and Propulsion Subsystem (PS).

The objective of this study was to design a launch vehicle capable of deploying a nanosatellite into a Sun-synchronous orbit at 500 km orbital altitude from the JAS 39E/F Gripen fighter aircraft. This was achieved by first performing theoretical calculations for the required nozzles and solid propellant grain configurations for the first two solid stages, followed by the necessary liquid propellant configuration for the third stage. Lastly, two methods were investigated in solving the trajectory ascent problem for the launch vehicle design. First, by stating the trajectory problem as an initia

Abstract:

As discussed in Chapter 2, the supercharger (basically, an air compressor) can also be driven by an exhaust gas turbine. In this case, the overall system is referred to as a turbocharger or turbosupercharger (Abgasturbolader in German). The focus in Kollmann’s manuscript is exclusively on radial compressors used as superchargers driven by a gear drive connected to the main engine shaft. This is not so surprising considering that, although significant R&D effort was spent on the turbine design (especially, turbine blade cooling), turbocharged German aircraft engines did not enter service until the end of the war. Even then, the service experience was limited to Junkers Ju 388 (mostly for high altitude reconnaissance) powered by two 1,500-HP BMW 801 J turbocharged engines. Many other designs (e.g., the DB 623) were eventually abandoned. The dilemma facing the German engineers at the time (1940s) was this: whether to develop an aircraft engine from the get-go with a turbocharger or to develop a turbocharger to be fitted into an existing engine (e.g., the DB 603). Since the need for the turbochargers arose during the war by the need for higher flight altitudes (10 to 14 km), e.g., to attack the Allied bomber formations and their fighter escort, the urgency of the situation made the choice for them1. Not surprisingly, they went with the latter option.
