Eeloscope—Towards a Novel Endoscopic System Enabling Digital Aircraft Fuel Tank Maintenance

نویسندگان

چکیده

In this research article, a novel endoscopic system, which is suited to perform digital inspection of the aircraft wing fuel tanks, introduced. The aim work specifically design and develop an assisting called `Eeloscope’, allow accessing diving through kerosene tank in minimally invasive matter. Currently, mechanics often suffer from harsh working environment arduous maintenance duties within tank. To address such challenges derive tailored solution, adapted Design Thinking (DT) process applied. resulting system enables fully generation 3-dimensional structural data. Consequently, devices as Eeloscope will facilitate more efficient continuous tanks increase transparency regarding condition hardly accessible structures provide relief for at same time.

A Tank Heating Model for Aircraft Fuel Thermal Systems with Recirculation

Fuel thermal management has become an important consideration in the design and operation of modern high performance aircraft. In many cases, fuel is a primary heat sink for thermal loads associated with the cooling of the airframe as well as propulsion, electronic, actuator, and payload systems. It is now common for thermal systems to recirculate warm fuel to the tanks, resulting in a rise in ...
