Managing operations of the aircraft approach process and analyzing runway landing capacity, utilization and related risks require detailed insight into the stochastic characteristics of the process. These characteristics can be represented by probability distributions. The focus of this study is analyzing landings on a runway operating independent of other runways making it as a single runway. ...

My main research interest is to study why and how manufactured products and systems evolve over time and how we can ultimately design them to better accommodate future changes. Based on my 20 years of experience as a scholar and practicing systems engineer I find that man-made artifacts are not static but that they undergo constant modifications to assimilate innovative technologies, to respond...

Additive manufacturing is a relatively new direction in modern industry and has already taken its place various industries. The main benefits of the process are well aligned with requirements for technology used aircraft construction. It this reason that additive so quickly entered continues to develop it. This article provides brief introduction technologies an overview their possible use

Elevators are surfaces of flight control, typically at the rear an aircraft to control pitch plane, angle attack and wing lift. The most critical actuation device is longitudinal its failures will result in a catastrophic crash. This paper proposes Highly Redundant Fault Tolerant Control (HRFTC) policy for accommodate faults sensors actuators. Modified Triple Modular Redundancy (MTMR) has been ...

Abstract This chapter provides an overview of the common types defects found in various structural materials and joints aircraft. Materials manufacturing methods (including large-scale production) have been established aircraft industry. However, as will be seen this chapter, during in-service conditions are very across all material types. The include metals, composites, coatings, adhesively bo...

The “Electro-mechanical Landing gear system Integration for Small Aircraft” (E-LISA) research project has the objective of developing an innovative “iron bird”, a testing facility dedicated to executing tests on landing small aircraft. This document presents structural analyses this complex machine performed with Finite Element Method (FEM). Key purposes these numerical simulations were quantif...

An overview of the successful application modern composite materials for manufacturing turbine blades aircraft gas engines, axial mine and blast furnace compressors. Their main advantages these in comparison with metal are analyzed. Analytical calculations stresses arising material plastic starting turboexpanders carried out. The possibility glass-filled polyamide moving guide their operation a...

this paper presented methods to determine the aerodynamic forces that acton an aircraft wing during flight. these methods are initially proposed for asimplified two degree-of-freedoms airfoil model and then are extensivelyapplied for a multi-degree-of-freedom airfoil system. different airspeedconditions are considered in establishing such methods. the accuracy of thepresented methods is verifie...
