The present paper concerns developing an automated system for non-destructive evaluation of riveted aluminium joints. The system features an innovative eddy-current probe providing high sensitivity at low inspection frequencies and a computational tool aimed both at computer-aided electromagnetic design of the probe and quantitative reconstruction of detected defects (inverse problem). The appr...

This paper investigates the impact of various agglomeration forces on employment and innovation for a sample of aeronautical cluster firms in Northern Germany and a control group of geographically dispersed aeronautical firms in other German regions. Employment growth is positively affected by labor market pooling but this effect is not cluster-specific. The firms’ probability of innovating is ...

Paper discusses alternatives to currently deployed systems which could provide revolutionary improvements in metrics applicable to civilian aeronautics. Specific missions addressed include subsonic transports, supersonic transports and personal aircraft. These alternative systems and concepts are enabled by recent and envisaged advancements in electronics, communications, computing and “Designe...

In the coreless filament winding process (CFW) anchor points are wrapped with pre-impregnated fibre bundles (Towpregs) in a defined chronological order. With this process, fibre-polymer composite structures very high lightweight potential and little material consumption can be created for different applications automotive, aeronautical, sports architectural sector. The sequence interaction ther...

The paper discusses formulaic language, its classification, function, and role in Aeronautical English. On the one hand, using idiomatic expressions aviation communication may lead to ambiguity, confusion breakdown. other teaching student pilots air-traffic controllers can have positive effect on their fluency help them develop interactive communicative skills. Despite fact that research langua...
