This paper presents an efficient method for securing navigation performance by suppressing divergence risk of LiDAR SLAM through a newly proposed geometric observability analysis in a three-dimensional point cloud map. For this, observability charact...

Studies on the geometry variation-related compressor uncertainty quantification (UQ) have often used dimension reduction methods, such as the principal component analysis (PCA), for the modeling of deviations. However, in the PCA method, the main eig...

In this paper we propose a novel virtual simulation-pilot engine for speeding up air traffic controller (ATCo) training by integrating different state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI)-based tools. The virtual simulation-pilot engine receives s...

The article presents the results of preliminary studies of the parameters of the return flight trajectory of a rocket plane for suborbital tourist flights into space. The rocket plane is designed as a tailless vehicle and has an unconventional arrang...

In this paper, we propose a three-dimensional autonomous drone exploration system (ADES) with a lightweight and low-latency saliency prediction model to explore unknown environments. Several studies have applied saliency prediction in drone explorati...

The increasing usage of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and their variants carrying complex weapon systems, known as unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs), has triggered a global revolution in complex military and commercial operations and has attr...

Transonic buffet is a phenomenon of large self-excited shock oscillations caused by shock wave-boundary layer interaction, which is one of the common flow instability problems in aeronautical engineering. This phenomenon involves unsteady flow, which...

The special use environment and uncertainty of extravehicular activities (EVAs) make it difficult to predict the lifetime consumption of extravehicular spacesuits in the traditional way. This paper presents a flexible reliability dynamic simulation m...

The buckling failure of the afterburner cylinder is a serious safety concern for aero-engines. To tackle this issue, the buckling simulation analysis of the afterburner cylinder was carried out by using finite element method (FEM) software to obtain...

Discovering and mitigating potential risks in advance is essential for preventing aviation accidents on routine flights. Although anomaly detection-based explanation techniques have successfully uncovered potential risks for proactive flight safety m...
