Launching satellites into the Earth’s orbit is a critical area of research, and very demanding satellite services increase exponentially as modern society takes shape. At the same time, the costs of developing and launching satellite missions w...

The integrity of airborne inertial navigation systems (INSs) is the key to ensuring the safe flight of civil aircraft. The airborne attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) is introduced into the construction of a redundant inertial navigation sy...

In various applications, the extended Kalman filter (EKF) has been vital in estimating a vehicle’s translational and angular motion in 3-dimensional (3D) space. It is also essential for the fusion of data from multiple sensors. However, for the...

Stochastic variations of the operation conditions and the resultant variations of the aerodynamic performance in Low-Pressure Turbine (LPT) can often be found. This paper studies the aerodynamic performance impact of the uncertain variations of flow...

In this paper, a novel flow perturbation model meant to investigate the effects of incoming wind shear on a hypersonic inlet/isolator is presented. This research focuses on the transient shock/boundary layer interaction and shock train flow evolution...

To make measurement of end-wall flow between blade rows in a compact multistage configuration possible, a miniature L-shaped five-hole probe was employed in this paper. This compact tip structure, realized by laser-printing instead of the conventiona...

The UAV cluster combat puts forward higher requirements for short-distance arresting gears for multitype aircraft. Based on magnetorheological technology, an arresting gear was designed, and the structural parameters of the MR damper were optimized....

(1) Background: Space tourism (ST) is an emerging frontier in tourism, attracting considerable stakeholders in the era of the New Space Economy. Thus, understanding the intentions and the characteristics of future space travelers is crucial. (2) Meth...

Uncertainties in the atmosphere and flight conditions can drastically impact the performance of an aircraft and result in certification delays. However, uncertainty propagation in high-fidelity simulations, which have become integral to the design pr...

Compression corner shock wave/boundary layer interaction (SWBLI) is a typical shock wave/boundary layer interaction (SWBLI) problem in supersonic/hypersonic flows. In previous studies, the separation flow is usually caused by a single shock wave. How...
