Multi-fuselage fuel-efficient aircraft concepts (including conversions of existing types) Issue 1R.K Nangia
This chapter provides an overview of the common types of defects found in various structural materials and joints in aircraft. Materials manufacturing methods (including large-scale production) have been established in the aircraft industry. However, as will be seen in this chapter, manufacturing defec...

In cars, trucks, and aircraft, Additive Manufacturing is beginning to transform both (1) unibody and fuselage design and production and (2) powertrain design and production. For example: In early 2014, Swedish supercar manufacturer Koenigsegg announced the One:1, a supercar that utilizes ...
However, circular-interface types of acoustic metamaterials (CAMs) that could be applied to aero-engine intakes and aircraft fuselages have not been extensively explored. Porous CAMs have been explored theoretically, numerically, and experimentally to investigate their acoustic properties, such as wave-...
Beginning in the 1990s, orbital flights were conducted using launch vehicles released from high-flying aircraft. Typically, the vehicle, a small-winged, multistage rocket, is carried aloft under the fuselage of a modified commercial jetliner to an altitude of about 12 km (40,000 feet) over open...
