Aerospace medicine is the medical discipline responsible for assessing and conserving the health, safety, and performance of individuals involved in air and space travel. With the upward trend in airline travel, flight-related oral conditions requiring treatment have become a source of concern for aircrew members. Awareness and treatment of any potential physiological problems for these aircrew...

Aerospace engineers have always been leading in the field of design using computational simulations. We design vehicles that go fast, fly high, and operate in extreme conditions. Because computation can help reduce expensive tests that physically simulate these extreme conditions, we benefit from computational simulation and design. This is why successful aerospace companies and agencies, such ...

This report describes the progress made in the first year (Sept. 1, 1999 LO Aug. 3 1,2000) of work at The University of Toledo under the NASA Information Technology (IT) Program grant number NAG-1-2244. This research is aimed at developing a neiv and advanced simulation framework that will significantly improve the overall efficiency of aerospace systems design and development. This objective w...

The teaching of Lean Enterprise Thinking in the aerospace context requires that students understand a complex subject—aerospace enterprises and their transformation—in a deep and intuitive way. Without this context, the lessons of the LAI Lean Academy Course will make little sense. A rich simulation of an enterprise with a structure and problems typical of the US aerospace industry is used as a...

In the aerospace industry, engineers rely on fast, accurate results from simulation environments to design and develop ever more complex systems in shorter development times. An integrated approach for the development of complex aerospace systems is presented. This commercial off-the-shelf solution provides tooling to simplify the consolidation of collaborative efforts from diverse research, de...

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...
