چکیده
As the aerospace industry is moving towards the More Electric Aircraft, there is a growing demand for electrical power to feed the increasing electrical loads in the aircraft. More Electric Aircraft (MEA) and More Electric Engine (MEE) are terms that are sometimes mistakenly being used interchangeably, but that are actually very different. This paper outlines some of the issues that have been considered in the MOET program that relate to the effects of increased electrical power provision on design of the aircraft engines and the differences between MEE and MEA from the authors perspective.

Design, Modelling and Measurement of Hybrid Powerplant for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
1 1 ABSTRACT The success or effectiveness for any aircraft design is a function of many trade-offs. Over the last 100 years of aircraft design these trade-offs have been optimized and dominant aircraft design philosophies have emerged. Pilotless aircraft (or uninhabited airborne systems, UAS) present new challenges in the optimization of their configuration. Recent developments in battery and m...
متن کاملROBUST FUZZY CONTROL DESIGN USING GENETIC ALGORITHM OPTIMIZATION APPROACH: CASE STUDY OF SPARK IGNITION ENGINE TORQUE CONTROL
In the case of widely-uncertain non-linear system control design, it was very difficult to design a single controller to overcome control design specifications in all of its dynamical characteristics uncertainties. To resolve these problems, a new design method of robust fuzzy control proposed. The solution offered was by creating multiple soft-switching with Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model for optim...
متن کاملSimultaneous Optimization of the Airframe, Powerplant, and Operation of Transport Aircraft
Global optimization of transport aircraft is performed to minimize fuel burn for a specified mission. The design space includes the geometry, wing airfoils, primary structure, engine size and cycle parameters, and the flight profile parameters. The method employs a number of physics-based models for structural sizing and weight estimation, viscous CFD for all major aerodynamic components, and a...
متن کاملComputer Network Time Synchronization using a Low Cost GPS Engine
Accurate and reliable time is necessary for financial and legal transactions, transportation, distribution systems, and many other applications. Time synchronization protocols such as NTP (the Network Time Protocol) have kept clocks of such applications synchronized to each other for many years. Nowadays there are many commercial GPS based NTP time server products at the market but they almost ...
متن کاملCauses and Trends in Maintenance-Related Accidents in FAA-Certified Single Engine Piston Aircraft
The accident rate for general aviation remains high. While most general aviation accident studies have been pilot-focused, there is little research on the involvement of aircraft maintenance errors. We undertook a study to answer this question. The Microsoft Access database was queried for accidents occurring between 1989 and 2013 involving single engine piston airplanes operating under 14CFR P...
