Abstract:
This paper presents a selected aspect of design activity devoted to optimising HALE and MALE UAVs. The project is taking place at Warsaw University of Technology under the V Framework of European Union in the CAPECON project. This paper deals with wing airfoil selection, defining of the configuration layout and power unit integration. A brief overview of wing sections developed in some design centres (mainly in Israel Aircraft Industry and in Northrop Grumman) is included. Aircraft layout depends on the mission and sensor selection and is discussed using the examples of PW‐103 and PW‐114. Engine suspension and integration with aircraft is included in the analysis because if it is not properly analysed, it can lead to an excessive vibration and fatigue of the whole aircraft structure.

Abstract:
Over 10 years ago, a paper was published at the ION-GPS ‘99 conference that detailed the design of the navigation system implemented on the Global Hawk UAS program then being run under the auspices of DARPA. Since that time, many changes have occurred in the program including transition from DARPA to USAF management, the development of the larger Block 20/30 unmanned aircraft (UA) and the awarding of the Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) program to Northrop Grumman which is based on the Global Hawk Block 20/30 aircraft. In addition, many changes have been made to the aircraft navigation system as well as many lessons learned on the kind of navigation system required to support a long endurance UA. The result has been a much more robust set of navigation sensors that allows this aircraft to successfully support the efforts to counter terrorism in the world today.1

Abstract:
This paper reviews history of unmanned aircraft that are making news today. A team led by the inventor Charles Kettering had developed the airborne contraption, conceived as a top-secret weapon to deliver explosives against enemy troops. The craft was the first practical unmanned airplane. Unmanned aerial vehicles such as this circa 1946 target drone were built by the Radioplane Co. to train antiaircraft gunners during World War II. Weary bombers, such as the radio-controlled B-17G Flying Fortress, were used with small success as flying bombs during the World War II. World War II era target drones preceding unmanned aerial vehicles for surveillance in the coming decades. In 1999, Northrop Grumman boosted its presence in target aircraft further by acquiring Ryan Aeronautical, the company that built the Spirit of St. Louis for Charles Lindbergh in 1927.

Abstract:
As the sole builder of nuclear aircraft carriers for the U.S. Navy, Northrop Grumman Newport News relies heavily on the 900-metric-ton Goliath gantry crane to assembly the 162 critical "super lifts" that compose a completed carrier structure. Prior to 1999, it was apparent that the 25-year-old crane needed a major overhaul. When the project was funded in 1999, Newport News assembled a team composed of engineering, maintenance, and operations to perform detailed design, develop the specification, manage the bidding process, and manage the project. Capital constraints on the project required the team to collaborate with suppliers to move portions of the project scope back to Newport News, reducing risk for the suppliers and reducing capital costs for Newport News. This team/collaboration approach proved successful as the project was completed on schedule and within budget.

NASA and the US Navy are exploring magnetic fields in search of quicker, smoother, and cheaper launches. A Navy program based in Lakehurst, NJ, wants to learn if magnetic propulsion is the answer. It awarded two contracts in December for what it calls the electromagnetic aircraft launch system. One award went to Northrop Grumman of Sunnyvale, California, and the other to General Atomics in San Diego. NASA is in the second year of a three-year program to investigate magnetic launch technology. The systems under study by NASA combine linear induction, to accelerate the vehicle to launch speed, with magnetic levitation, using opposing magnetic fields to suspend the vehicle above its track. The Navy’s catapult program does not require magnetic levitation. The US Maglev Technology Assessment, written jointly by the Corps of Engineers and the Department of Transportation, points out that since ‘magnetic drag is small at high speeds, only aerodynamic drag consumes appreciable energy.

Abstract:
Abstract The recent period has been filled with exceptionally interesting developments and advances, resulting in high-performance conventional and non-conventional manned and unmanned aircraft. Although those vehicles seem to comply well with specific mission performance requirements, one is still confronted with an apparent weakness to reliably stabilise and control throughout the flight envelope. Since the provision of satisfactory stability and control characteristics invariably compromises flight performance, it becomes essential to identify and integrate performance-optimal stability and control design solutions early during the flight vehicle definition phase. In particular, the conceptual design of integrated control effectors for advanced aircraft is far from being trivial. Never before have we been presented with such tremendous wealth of specialised data and information suitable for detail design of controls. In contrast, never before has it been necessary to approach any one of the primary design disciplines still as entirely ad hoc and inconsistent as in the case of designing controls during the conceptual design phase. This need initiated the development of a configuration independent (generic) stability and control methodology capable of sizing primary control effectors of fixed wing subsonic to hypersonic designs of conventional and unconventional, symmetric and asymmetric configuration layouts. This paper summarises the methodology concept and demonstrates its versatility and validity by analyzing selected stability and control characteristics of the Northrop YB-49 flying wing.

Abstract:
AbstractPreviously it was demonstrated that gravity is directly responsible for the attenuation of sonic booms as they propagate towards the ground, while the gradient in acoustic impedance has no effect on the wave strength. This was a significant departure from the well accepted acoustic theory and naturally led to questions concerning comparison with experiment and the implications for low boom design. This paper presents a comparison of measured ground signatures of the Northrup-Grumman Shaped Sonic Boom Demonstrator (SSBD) with a method of characteristics extrapolation from a close proximity flight measurement of static pressure under the aircraft. Comparison is also made with Whitham’s theory, extended to include gravity and the ambient temperature variation, as presented in the previous paper. The calculations are both in good agreement with the experimental ground signature. The usual equations that define the acoustic propagation (gravitational body force neglected) are transformed so that the computational algorithms of the extended Whitham theory are applicable. The transformation simplifies the acoustic model and reveals the conditions under which the errors in its prediction will be large. At the Mach number of 1.4, corresponding to the SSBD flight, the error is relatively small and the acoustic prediction is also in close agreement with the ground signature.

Abstract:
There is a revolution underway in military aircraft assembly. This has been spurred by a combination of customer demands for faster and less expensive solutions, competition in the global aircraft market, and the opportunity to capitalize on technologies that have been developed for other industry segments. In addition, the workforce in military aviation in the US is aging and there is a need to train and educate a new workforce. This paper describes the formation of a unique consortium and the resultant strategic alliance(s) that are formed involving aircraft manufacturers, their equipment suppliers, and education. At the forefront of the educational efforts is Mechanical Engineering Technology. MET is in a unique position to assist in the test, evaluation, modification and technology assessments for their strategic industry and supplier partners. At the same time students are familiarized with the specific processes that the technology addresses and the problems of industry that the technology is targeted to resolve. The involvement of universities in industry research facilitates the familiarization of students with the unique and current problems faced by industry so that graduates enter the work force ready to assimilate into the value stream with minimum training and instruction. The development of a collaborative project between Northrop Grumman Corporation, M. Torres, SA, and the MET Department of Purdue University is discussed. The goal of this project is to develop a lower cost method of fixturing aircraft parts during assembly, with an integrated metrology system. Particular emphasis is placed on overcoming and aligning the scheduling, cultural and business obstacles in bringing together a Spanish machine builder, an American aircraft manufacturer and an academic department to address all aspects of the problem.
