The electro-mechanical actuators are used in aerospace vehicle is used for attitude control of vehicle. Actuators used in aerospace vehicle require very accurate positioning accuracy, high dynamic requirements. Hence the actuator design in aerospace vehicle is very critical and plays very important role in total performance of the vehicle. The actuators are to be designed very compactly with hi...

The National Aerospace Laboratory NLR is the central aerospace research anddevelopment organization in the Netherlands, and is actively involved in international simulationprojects. In the HPCN project SIMULTAAN, NLR developes a generic scenario management toolnamed SMARTFED for real-time monitoring and control of networked simulations. The scenariomanagement tool also offers fu...

The reorganization of the supply chain in the aerospace industry has led to a new situation for small and medium-sized enterprises (SME). The suppliers are forced to deliver completed systems instead of components and assemblies. In order to react to the changed requirements, one possible solution is the project-oriented and temporary cooperation of SME by building a Virtual Organization in ord...

Lean techniques are having a major impact on aerospace manufacturing. However, the cost and value of aerospace (and many other) products is determined primarily in product development. Migrating lean to engineering processes is ongoing in the industry, and a subject of study at the MIT Lean Aerospace Initiative. This paper summarizes findings to date, with references to both research literature...

Neck injury is an unquantified clinical and epidemiological problem in pilots exposed to high G forces. The description and assessment of potential deleterious effects on the cervical vertebrae are important aspects of occupational preventive aerospace medicine. This report presents the findings from a prevalence study of acute neck injury, resulting from high G forces, in pilots of high perfor...
