The achievement of high block speed implies high cruising speed in flight: as fast as possible for the weight of fuel consumed. There is also, by implication, the need for easy turnaround on the ground, which leads back again to layout and structural design. A useful way of drawing these...

The equipment that can be replaced during a stop-over, commonly designated by the acronym LRU (Line-Replaceable Unit), is equipment that is designed in the form of modules in order to be replaced quickly and easily, for example when the aircraft is parked at an airport. ...
“It is necessary to remove the artificial separation of functions at the aircraft pre-design stage and to plan for a high production rate of aircraft manufacturing, assembly and installation right at the start,” said Paolo Trinchieri, Project Officer at Clean Sky. “It is not only a questio...
and demonstrating skills and ideas that can turn an everyday model into a show-stopper. Always inclusive, our core modelling content is aimed at all skill levels and disciplines. There is no 'right' way to build a model. We each assimilate skills and ideas to suit our own tastes, and no...
“In any attempt to impose sea control in the northern Arabian Sea and to interdict Pakistani seaborne commerce by enforcing a blockade of major Pakistani maritime nodes, Indian carrier forces would have to devote a portion of their already meager airpower to attacking Pakistani vessels, thereby ex...
However, legislation in force in certain countries may restrict the right of each passenger to display the other passengers of the aircraft in this way. In this case, each image may be processed between its capture by one of the cameras and its display on the screen of one of the in-...
This propulsion system is known with the acronym ACHEON (Aerial Coanda High Efficiency Orienting Nozzle). This paper investigates how the application of an all-electric ACHEONs propulsion system to a very traditional commuter aircraft can improve its relevant performances. This paper considers the ...
The information regarding limit of prohibited penetration zones contained in the TDB database60allows the autonomous protection system to model a surface surrounding and/or overlapping a prohibited penetration zone that the aircraft has no right to cross, for example by a ground trace and a minimum...
The failure rate of the innovative model can be “monotonically decreasing failure rate,”“monotonically increasing failure rate,” or “constant failure rate,” and the density of the model can be “asymmetric right skewed,”“symmetric,”“asymmetric left skewed,” or “uniform density”. The ...
