Astronautics and Aeronautics, 1968: A Chronology on Science, Technology, and Policy

Aeronautics and Astronautics

TOPICS RELATED TO ROTORCRAFTAND VERTICAL FLIGHT: The rotary wing program led by Professor Wood has worked in the following areas: Professors Wood's and Danielson's and research for 1999 and 2000 is focused on developing the capability of modeling the effects of a 23mm HEI (high explosive incendiary) inside the Comanche helicopter. Recent work at NPS has resulted in a new and powerful tool for e...

The raison d'etre of the Airline Passenger Transportation System (APTS) is the rapid, affordable, and safe transportation of passengers (and cargo). Traditional APTS performance metrics, such as flight delays and cancellation rates, fail to account for the delays to passenger trips caused by cancelled flights, missed connections and diversions. Previous research estimated Passenger Trip Delays ...

Municipal solid waste (MSW), comprising food waste, residential rubbish and commercial waste, has been identified as a potential feedstock for the production of alternative fuels. Conversion of MSW to fuel could displace petroleum-derived fuels to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transportation, and also avoid the GHG emissions associated with existing waste management strategies su...

The use of a high-fidelity finite element model is investigated for the design and closedloop performance prediction of shaped and distributed sensors and actuators for structural acoustic control. Sensor and actuator design was found to be sensitive to nodeline discrepancies between the model and experiment caused by moderate manufacturing defects and/or boundary condition uncertainties. Relyi...
