Small Aircraft Infrared Radiation Measurements Supporting the Engine Airframe Aero-thermal Integration

Evolution of Compression Processes in Aero-Engine Thermal Cycles

In order to provide a basis for the establishment of an applicable strategy for the development of aero-engine thermal cycles, the evolution of compression processes in aero-engine thermal cycles is reviewed in this paper by analyzing the compression requirements for the injection or extraction of energy. It is therefore concluded that the injection of energy in the compression is required for ...

Real-time measurements of jet aircraft engine exhaust.

Particulate-phase exhaust properties from two different types of ground-based jet aircraft engines--high-thrust and turboshaft--were studied with real-time instruments on a portable pallet and additional time-integrated sampling devices. The real-time instruments successfully characterized rapidly changing particulate mass, light absorption, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) content. Th...

A Rapid Restoration Method for Infrared Aero-Optical Degraded Image of High-Speed Reconnaissance Aircraft

In order to meet the requirement of rapidly deblurring aero-optical degraded image of high-speed reconnaissance aircraft, a rapid restoration method is proposed. By using a guide whose shape, size, and position information are unchanged in the reconnaissance images, the degraded function of the motion blurred image is effectively extracted, and then a inverse filter algorithm is employed to res...
