An Active Flow Circulation Controlled Flap Concept for General Aviation Aircraft Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
A recent focus on revolutionary aerodynamic concepts has highlighted the technology needs of general aviation and personal aircraft. New and stringent restrictions on these types of aircraft have placed high demands on aerodynamic performance, noise, and environmental issues. Improved high lift performance of these aircraft can lead to slower takeoff and landing speeds that can be related to reduced noise and crash survivability issues. Circulation Control technologies have been around for 65 years, yet have been avoided due to trade offs of mass flow, pitching moment, perceived noise etc. The need to improve the circulation control technology for general aviation and personal air-vehicle applications is the focus of this paper. This report will describe the development of a 2-D General Aviation Circulation Control (GACC) wing concept that utilizes a pulsed pneumatic flap.

Autonomous Air Traffic Control for Non-Towered Airports
Half of all reported near mid-air collisions involve at least one general aviation aircraft. More than half of NTSB reports of mid-air collisions occur in the vicinity or in the traffic pattern of an airport, and a majority of them occur at non-towered airports. This paper proposes a concept for traffic collision prevention targeted for general aviation aircraft operating in the vicinity of non...
متن کاملSimulating the global atmospheric black carbon cycle: a revisit to the contribution of aircraft emissions
The black carbon (BC) burden of the upper troposphere and lowermost stratosphere (UTLS) is investigated with the general circulation model (GCM) ECHAM4. The special focus is the contribution of aircraft emissions to the UTLS BC loading. Previous studies on the role of aircraft emissions in the global BC cycle either neglect BC sources located at the Earth’s surface or simplify the BC cycle by a...
متن کاملConceptual Design of the TransAtlantic as a Research Platform for the Development of “Green” Aircraft Technologies
Recent concerns of the growing impact of aviation on climate change has prompted the emergence of a field referred to as Sustainable or “Green” Aviation dedicated to mitigating the harmful impact of aviation related CO2 emissions and noise pollution on the environment. In the current paper, a unique “green” business jet aircraft called the TransAtlantic was designed (using analytical formulatio...
متن کاملShort Takeoff Performance using Circulation Control
Historically, powered lift takeoff analysis has been prohibitively expensive for use in preliminary design. For powered lift, the coupling of aircraft systems invalidates traditional simplistic methods often used in early aircraft sizing. This research creates a tool that will automate the process of takeoff and balanced field length calculations for a circulation control wing aircraft. The pro...
متن کاملImplementation of an Attitude-heading Reference System State Estimate Filter Using Dissimilar Sensor Types and Sampling Rates
Domestic production of general aviation (GA) aircraft has declined markedly in recent years and an effort is underway to revitalize this industry by opening new markets for aviation, shifting the perception of general aviation as recreation to general aviation as a travel option. This can be achieved only by providing a product that is safer, easier to fly in all weather conditions, and no more...
