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. Fe...

Monitoring tool conditions and sub-assemblies before final integration is essential to reducing processing failures improving production quality for manufacturing setups. This research study proposes a real-time deep learning-based framework identifying faulty components due malfunctioning at different stages in the aerospace industry. It uses convolutional neural network (CNN) recognize classi...

The unique properties of advanced composite materials make it an ideal material for aircraft manufacturing. processing research has received extensive attention at home and abroad. structure shape typical rib parts are analyzed, a trimming fixture is designed to ensure that can be applied different specifications, while ensuring easy use, making the universal, convenient economical.

This paper deals with the study and comparison of passive and active landing gear system of  the aircraft and dynamic responses due to runway irregularities while the aircraft is taxying. The dynamic load and vibration caused by the unevenness of runway will result in airframe fatigue, discomfort of passengers and the reduction of the pilot’s ability to control the aircraft. One of the objectiv...
