A Review of Propulsion for High Mach Number Aircraft: A survey of the types of engine that will be used in the next generation of supersonic and hypersonic aircraftTHE problem of providing engines suitable for high Mach number aircraft is a fascinating study which at the moment has only been...
There are a total of [ 946 ] United States Aircraft List (Current and Former Types) entries in the Military Factory. Entries are listed by initial year of service descending, then grouped by designation (A-to-Z) to better showcase a given country's evolution in the field of aviation. ...
FERROGRAPHY AND ITS APPLICATION IN THE MAINTENANCE OF AIRCRAFT PROPULSION SYSTEMS adaptable to machinery condition monitoring as a complement to existing methods and in selective applications were reliability is critical, and that a primary role of the method will continue to be in mechanical failure ...
In coming years, the price for what is now considered to be high-end equipment should come down to where it more affordable. The quieter propulsion systems, comparable performance and lack of exhaust mess all over the airframe should make electric much more enticing. In fact, in some places,...
affected by the movement of the case in which it is enclosed. When the aircraft deviates in any way from its previous situation, the gyro is manipulated by the movement of the case. Then, the movement of the altered gyros affects the needles and other indicators connected to these machines....
A Pratt and Whitney F119 jet aircraft engine creates 156,000 newtons (35,000 pounds) of thrust during this US Air Force test in 2002. That sounds like a lot of power, but it's less than half the thrust produced by one of the vast jet engines (turbofans) on an airliner, as you ...
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
foxes - A modular wind farm simulation and wake modelling toolbox which is based on engineering wake models. CN-AeroModels - Developed to provide methods to compute the aerodynamic forces generated by wind propulsion systems for ships.Hydro EnergyWecO...
All sailing boats have one or more foils below the hull that minimise leeway, the tendency for a boat to be blown sideways by a crosswind. These use the forward motion of a boat to provide lift in an analogous way to an aircraft wing. ...
Steam turbines are mechanical devices that convert the thermal energy of pressurized steam into mechanical work, which is then used to generate electricity or perform other types of mechanical tasks. They are widely used in power plants, industrial processes, and marine propulsion systems. A machine...
