Abstract:
The dynamical development of general aviation demands compilation of new aircraft control methods. Those methods allow people without special airborne qualifications to pilot these aircrafts. The main goals of such a control system are to reduce a pilot's load, to improve control precision, and to protect an aircraft against dangerous situations. There are many criterions applied to grading and describing an aircraft's flying characteristics and the handling qualities of general aviation airplanes equipped with classical mechanical control systems. But a modern, small, transport aircraft should be equipped with fly‐by‐wire control systems, and there are no clear, straight, rules rate and describe the handling qualities of small airplanes with fly‐by‐wire control systems. This paper presents a methodology created by the authors that classifies and compares the handling qualities of general aviation aircraft equipped with fly‐by‐wire control systems. It takes into consideration two parameters: pilot's effort during realization of ordered tasks and precision of his control.

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 different angles of attack (AoA) from 0 to 5 degrees. For this the fighter aircraft wing performance for various flow conditions and sweep angles are obtained based on the empirical, semi-empirical and CFD simulation results. Hence by studying these computational results would help in the optimizing geometry for better performance, an finest wing design for the air launched air to surface body with conservative wing can be obtained.

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose novel civil aircraft cost parameters’ selection method and novel cost estimation approach for civil aircraft so as to effectively simulate or forecast civil aircraft cost under poor information and small sample. Design/methodology/approach – Based on existent cost estimation indexes, this paper summarized civil aircraft research and manufacturing cost impact index system and adopted grey relational model to select most important impact factors. Consider civil aircrafts’ cost information could not be easily collected, the author must estimate their costs with limited sample and poor information. A combination model of GM (0, N) model and BP neural network algorithm is proposed. Both advantages of simulation of BP neural network algorithm and poor information generation of GM (0, N) were effectively combined. Then steps of combined model were given out. Finally, nine types of aircrafts were used to test the validity of proposed model. As comparing with the traditional multiple linear regression model and simple GM (0, N) model, results indicated that proposed model can do the work better. Findings – Grey relational model can be applied for parameters’ selection and combined GM (0, N) model and BP neural network algorithm can estimate aircraft’s cost as well. Results show that novel combined model could get high forecasting accuracy. Practical implications – Cost estimation is key problem in production management of civil aircraft. Effective cost management could promote competitiveness of aircraft manufacturing company. Proposed combined model can be applied for civil aircraft cost estimation. Similarly, it could be applied for other complex equipment cost estimation. Originality/value – The paper succeeds in proposing grey relational model for cost parameters’ selection and constructing a combination model of GM (0, N) model and BP neural network algorithm. Algorithm of the proposed model was discussed and steps were given out.

Abstract:
Purpose The paper aims to address the tracking algorithm based on deep learning and four deep learning tracking models developed. They compared with each other to prevent collision and to obtain target tracking in autonomous aircraft. Design/methodology/approach First, to follow the visual target, the detection methods were used and then the tracking methods were examined. Here, four models (deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN), deep convolutional neural networks with fine-tuning (DCNNFN), transfer learning with deep convolutional neural network (TLDCNN) and fine-tuning deep convolutional neural network with transfer learning (FNDCNNTL)) were developed. Findings The training time of DCNN took 9 min 33 s, while the accuracy percentage was calculated as 84%. In DCNNFN, the training time of the network was calculated as 4 min 26 s and the accuracy percentage was 91%. The training of TLDCNN) took 34 min and 49 s and the accuracy percentage was calculated as 95%. With FNDCNNTL, the training time of the network was calculated as 34 min 33 s and the accuracy percentage was nearly 100%. Originality/value Compared to the results in the literature ranging from 89.4% to 95.6%, using FNDCNNTL, better results were found in the paper.

Abstract:
Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2008.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 81-84).
Small aircraft engines traditionally have poorer performance compared to larger engines, which until recently, has been a factor that outweighed the aerodynamic benefits of commoditized and distributed propulsion. Improvements in the performance of small engines have, however, prompted another look at this old concept. This thesis examines aspects of aircraft engines that may have application to commodity thrust or distributed propulsion applications. Trends of engine performance with size and time are investigated. These trends are further extended to justify parameter choices for conceptual engines of the current, mid-term (10 years) and far-term (20 years). Uninstalled and installed performances are evaluated for these engines, and parametric studies are performed to determine the most influential and limiting factors. It is found that scaling down of engines is detrimental to SFC and fuel burn, mainly due to the Reynolds number effect. The more scaling done, the more prominent the effect. It is determined that new technology such as higher TIT, OPR and turbomachinery [eta]poly's for small aircraft engines enable the operation of larger bypass ratios, which is the most influential parameter to SFC and fuel bum. The increase of bypass ratio up to a value of 8 is found to be effective for such improvement. SFC decrease from the current to mid-term model is found to be ~20% and ~9% from mid-term to far-term. Range and endurance improvements are found to be ~30% and ~10% respectively for the mission examined. Finally, the mid-term engine model has performance comparable to that of a current, larger state-of-the-art engine, thus suggesting that improvement in small gas turbine technology in the next 10 years will make the application of commodity thrust or distributed propulsion an attractive option for future aircraft.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The worst recession that affected the world's economy since the Great Depression has had an even more devastating effect on the aviation industry. Following such a crisis, one of the most significant challenges awaiting airlines worldwide in the coming decade is the financing of their enormous fleet replacement and expansion activities. And this demands a tremendous effort, given that airline earnings are cyclical and, industry returns on capital investments have traditionally been poor. As international markets develop, especially in the emerging economies, there is a need for a constant search for new sources and methods to finance and acquire new equipment. Aircraft financiers and investors have always been wary to invest in developing countries. Aircraft are highly movable assets that can travel to various jurisdictions and this faculty has always posed a threat on lessors and owners' property interest, the more so, in small and emerging countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The challenges are obvious and seem insurmountable. Aircraft financing legal structures and practices that have worked in developed countries may be structured to apply to the benefit of States of small emerging economies. The point has been made for several years now in numerous international conferences that there is a lacuna in this area. This thesis seeks to address some of the legal aspects of aircraft financing generally and, in these small and emerging economies.
RESUME La pire des récessions qu'ait connu le monde depuis la grande dépression des années trente a eu un effet encore plus dévastatrice sur l'industrie aéronautique. Après une crise de cette ampleur, le défi de taille auquel doivent faire face les compagnies aériennes de par le monde dans la prochaine décennie est le financement du renouvellement et de l'expansion de leur flotte d'aéronefs. Et ceci demande un effort colossal, vu la nature aléatoire et incertaine des recettes des compagnies aériennes. Aussi, le retour sur les investissements capitaux ont été traditionnellement bien moindres. En ligne avec le développement continuel des marchés internationaux, particulièrement dans les pays émergents, il y a un besoin pour une recherche constante de nouvelles sources et de nouveaux modes de financement et d'acquisition d'aéronefs. Les investisseurs ont été très réticents à investir dans les pays en développement. Les avions sont des biens mobiliers et ceux-ci peuvent donc aisément passer d'une juridiction à l'autre. Ce caractère particulier a constamment posé une menace aux droits de propriété des bailleurs et propriétaires de l'avion, et c'est encore plus prononcé dans des pays émergents en Afrique, Asie ou Amérique Latine. Les défis sont évidents et apparaissent insurmontables. Des structures légales de financement d'aéronefs et des pratiques qui ont fait leurs preuves dans les pays développés peuvent être remodelées pour le bénéfice des petits états émergents. C'est un point qui a été constamment débattu dans des conférences internationales et il y a un manquement dans ce domaine. Cette présente thèse est une tentative d'adresser quelques uns des aspects légaux relatif au financement d'aéronefs en général, et dans ces pays émergents.

Abstract:
Emergency landing is a critical safety mechanism for aerial vehicles. Commercial aircraft have triply-redundant systems that greatly increase the probability that the pilot will be able to land the aircraft at a designated airfield in the event of an emergency. In general aviation, the chances of always reaching a designated airfield are lower, but the successful pilot might use landmarks and other visual information to safely land in unprepared locations. For small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS), triply- or even doubly-redundant systems are unlikely due to size, weight, and power constraints. Additionally, there is a growing demand for beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations, where an sUAS operator would be unable to guide the vehicle safely to the ground. This thesis presents a machine vision-based approach to emergency landing for small unmanned aircraft systems. In the event of an emergency, the vehicle uses a pre-compiled database of potential landing sites to select the most accessible location to land based on vehicle health. Because it is impossible to know the current state of any ground environment, a camera is used for real-time visual feedback. Using the recently developed Recursive-RANSAC algorithm, an arbitrary number of moving ground obstacles can be visually detected and tracked. If obstacles are present in the selected ditch site, the emergency landing system chooses a new ditch site to mitigate risk. This system is called Safe2Ditch.

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2012.
Cataloged from department-submitted PDF version of thesis. This electronic version was submitted and approved by the author's academic department as part of an electronic thesis pilot project. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 115-117).
This thesis quantifies mechanisms that limit efficiency in small core axial compressors, defined here as compressor exit corrected flow between 1.5 and 3.0 lbm/s. The first part of the thesis describes why a small engine core with high overall pressure ratio (OPR) is desirable for an efficient aircraft and shows that fuel burn can be reduced by up to 17% compared to current engines. The second part examines two specific effects: Reynolds number and tip clearance. At a core size of 1.5 lbm/s, Reynolds number may be as low as 160,000, resulting in reductions in stage efficiency up to 1.9% for blades designed for high Reynolds number flow. The calculations carried out indicate that blades optimized for this Reynolds number can increase stage efficiency by up to 1.6%. For small core compressors, non-dimensional tip clearances are increased, and it is estimated that tip clearances can be up to 4.5% clearance-to-span ratio at the last stage of a 1.5 lbm/s high pressure compressor. The efficiency penalty due to tip clearance is assessed computationally and a 1.6% decrease in polytropic efficiency is found for a 1% increase in gap-to-span ratio. At the above clearance, these efficiency penalties increase aircraft mission fuel burn by 3.4%, if current design guidelines are employed. This penalty, however, may be reduced to 0.4% if optimized blades and a smaller compressor radius than implied by geometric scaling, which allows reduced non-dimensional clearance, are implemented. Based on the results, it is suggested that experiments and computations should be directed at assessing: (i) the effects of clearance at values representative of these core sizes, and (ii) the effect of size on the ability to achieve a specific blade geometry and thus the impact on loss.

MBA Professional Report
The goal of this MBA Project is to investigate possible disconnects between doctrine and practice in the employment of the Raven Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (SUAV). The Army's current Small UAV requirements are based upon the Future Combat System's Operations Requirements Document and has not been validated at the platoon or company level. The Raven SUAV is a Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) item that swiftly became the Army's Small UAV of choice for operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Doctrine and Techniques, Tactics, and Procedures (TTP) have been written for the Raven SUAV; however, it is not standard practice for all units operating the system abroad. The last review of the SUAV operational requirements was conducted in 2003 but did not specifically address its usage on the battlefield. In an attempt to fill that gap, this project focuses on real-world usage of the Raven SUAV system. We compare doctrine versus practice using the Department of Defense's (DOD) Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Leadership, Personnel, Facilities (DOTML-PF) model as the primary logic construct. The report begins by providing a background of the Raven SUAV, to include its evolution from a COTS item to the Army's SUAV of choice, and how it has impacted the warfighter. Next, the authors provide an overview of DOTML-PF in order to provide a basis for comparing doctrine and practice. The study then looks in-depth at doctrine and practice using DOTML-PF as the model for revealing differences between the two. Finally, the authors analyze these differences and recommend solutions to mitigate shortfalls in actual Raven SUAV usage on the battlefield.--p. i.

Abstract:
All new nuclear power plants to be constructed and operated in the United States must meet regulatory requirements for aircraft impact from a large commercial aircraft under 10CFR50.150. Under the regulation, the applicant, using realistic analyses, must identify and incorporate into the design those design features and functional capabilities to show that, with reduced use of operator actions, 1) either the primary containment system remains intact or the reactor core remains cooled, and 2) either spent fuel cooling or spent fuel pool integrity is maintained. Small modular reactors have both advantages and disadvantages over conventional large plant designs in this regard. Small modular reactors generally have smaller footprints and can be configured where the reactor vessels and containment systems are entirely below grade. This minimizes the exposed structure that houses the reactors and spent fuel pool, which generally means that the structural configuration can be more efficiently hardened to resist the impact forces without excessive costs. However, the smaller footprint also means that transmission of shock through the structure can affect more safety equipment than in the larger conventional plant where the safety related equipment for the divisions are physically farther apart. Modular designs by nature tend to have all associated safety equipment together for each reactor module. Larger plants may be more tolerant for allowing internal damage and controlling ensuing fire due to perforation of aircraft wreckage at some strike locations, whereas the smaller footprints for small modular reactors could mean more systems are at risk if the reactor building is not hardened to prevent perforation. This paper presents design considerations employed for the NuScale 12 Module Power Plant in regards to aircraft impact requirements.

Abstract:
Although a 11 September 2001-style vicious attack on a nuclear power plant is considered as ‘beyond design basis’ event, an appropriate design of the nuclear facilities, with features and functional capabilities, is of meaningful importance to demonstrate that the reactor containment could safely withstand the impact of a large commercial aircraft without any radioactive release. This paper deals with the evaluation of the global structural response and of the vulnerability of a reactor building subjected to a deliberate commercial aircraft impact in the assumption of an attack from multiple entry directions. In this framework, separately from penetration and fire, the ‘shock’ loadings due to the progressive aircraft crashing on the power plant buildings were evaluated, taking into account that even if such penetration occurred, together with some concrete crushing and bent steel rebars, it very probably would not reach the reactor vessel. To the purpose a rather refined numerical methodology was employed and three-dimensional models (FEM approach) of a SMR reactor building and possible realistic, even if simplified, aircraft structures were set up and used in the performed analyses, taking also into account a suitable materials behaviour and constitutive laws. The analysis was performed increasing the severity of the crash scenario, assuming that the during the impact the aircraft transfers the full impact energy of the crash to the structure being struck. The obtained results were analysed to check the additional safety margin of the reactor containment and the fuel pool.

Abstract:
Increased automation for aircraft systems holds the promise to increase safety, precision, and availability for manned and unmanned aircraft. Specifically, established aviation segments, such as general aviation and light sport, could utilize increased automation to make significant progress towards solving safety and piloting difficulties that have plagued them for some time. Further, many emerging market segments, such as urban air mobility and small unmanned (e.g., small parcel delivery with drones) have a strong financial incentive to develop increased automation to relieve the pilot workload, and/or replace in-the-loop pilots for most situations. Before these advances can safely be made, automation technology must be shown to be reliable, available, accurate, and correct within acceptable limits based on the level of risk these functions may create. However since inclusion of these types of systems is largely unprecedented at this level of aviation, what constitutes these required traits (and at what level they must be proven to) requires development as well. Progress in this domain will likely be captured and disseminated in the form of best practices and technical standards created with collaboration from regulatory and industry groups. This work intends to inform those standards producers, along with the system designers, with the goal of facilitating growth in aviation systems toward safe, methodical, and robust inclusion of these new technologies. Produced by members of the manned and unmanned small aircraft community, represented by ASTM task group AC 377, this work strives to suggest and describe certain fundamental principles, or “pillars”, of complex aviation systems development, which are applicable to the design and architectural development of increased automation for aviation systems.

Abstract:
The aerospace industry is beginning to grapple with the reality of certifying electric aircraft (EA), signaling the maturing of the field. Many players are ramping up their activities to respond to imminent technical, safety, and regulatory requirements. While there are gaps in EA knowledge as well as the processes for certifying them, some leading standards development organizations (SDOs) such as SAE International, ASTM International, and RTCA—ably supported by representatives from regulatory agencies—are stepping in to address many of these issues. Of special importance are the new rule changes in the normal category (14 CFR Part 23, Amendment 64) that shift from a prescriptive philosophy to “performance-based rules.” Regarding system knowledge, there has been a trend in the use electrical energy to power systems that have long employed mechanical hydraulics. In the new EA paradigm, these components will be employed at criticality levels not previously witnessed in conventional aircraft, calling for a specific set of certification demands. Unsettled Issues Regarding the Certification of Electric Aircraft tackles the certification challenges faced by EA manufacturers in both the small (normal) and large (transport) categories, addressing technical, business, and process issues.
