This papers discusses ongoing development of an aircraft design course designed for mechanical engineering students. Almost without exception, aerospace engineering departments operate in conjunction, collaboration, or coexistence with mechanical engineering departments at most major American universities. On the other hand, the majority of mechanical engineering departments operate alone; i.e....

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 paper first gives an introduction to the broad features of the Darwin mission of ESA and then describes in some detail the data processing that is necessary to detect planets and spectrally characterize them. The proposed data processing method is validated by means of simulated data. in Astronomy with High Contrast Imaging III, EAS Publications Series, EDP Sciences, Les Ulis, France, 2006.

Investment cast aerospace components are prone to defects related to solidification process. The hollow columnar-grained aero engine Vane casting, being discussed in this paper, suffers further from extraneous defects such as inclusions, core shift and resultant dimensional deviations. Due to its design complexity and stringent specifications, non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of this component ...
