A Centennial Review of Sub-sonic Transport Aircraft

Authors: not saved
Abstract:

From Wright Brothers 1903 to present day 2003, aeronautical technology has made a profound progress. This paper demonstrates the outcome of this progress in weight, wing area, and engine thrust in three categories of transport aircraft of short to long range, regional jets, and turbo-prop commuter aircraft. Also the paper includes those aircraft with distinct jump in aeronautical technology. Few of the technologies that have contributed to this progress are elaborated too. An average of four to three times progress in aerodynamic sciences, three to four times in weight reduction for material science, and system design, and two to one and half times progress in propulsion of turbo-fan, and turbo-prop engines are concluded.

Sonic Fatigue Study of an Aircraft Flap like Structure

Acoustic fatigue failures in aircraft are caused by the dynamic response of structures to unsteady pressure loading from aerodynamic and engine acoustic sources. Structural life is difficult to assess accurately and maybe affected by steady, thermal, in-plane and out-of-plane panel loads. These failures result in increased maintenance and inspection burdens associated with the operation of the ...

Core surface sub-centennial magnetic flux patches: characteristics and evolution

Short-term constituents of the secular variation, at inter-decadal (20–30 years) and sub-centennial (60–90 years) time scales, present in observatory data and main field models, are also found in the radial field evolution at core surface. The paper is focused on the sub-centennial constituent in the gufm1 model. Time–Longitude (t–λ) plots, covering the 400 years time span of the model, at vari...

Sperm Transport in the Mare Reproductive Tract: A Review

The objective of this study was to review the literature on sperm transport in the mare. During this process the sperm cells must reach the oviducts in order to fertilize the oocyte, but before reaching this site it must go through the uterus that is a hostile environment at this moment since there is an inflammatory reaction in this location that aims to eliminate excess spermatozoa and bacter...

The Aircraft Sonic Feature Extraction Based on the Wavelet Analysis

The aircraft passive sonic detects and identification technology as a traditional means of reconnaissance is an important component of airborne early-warning system. Using the sound wave what the acoustic targets produces in the rate process, to identify the targets is the basic task of passive acoustic detection system. This study using modern signal processing method studies the wavelet trans...
