Wildlife strikes in aviation represent a serious economic concern; however, in some jurisdictions, the costs associated with this phenomenon are not collected or shared. This hampers the industry’s ability to quantify the risk and assess the po...

This paper describes the transition towards a composite structure, with the same overall aerodynamic characteristics, for a tail rotor blade of an IAR330 helicopter. The newly proposed structure of the composite blade is made of a carbon-roving spar...

Obvious aeroelastic deformation occurs in spinning projectiles with large slenderness ratio, which seriously affects flight stability and maneuverability. This paper investigates the aeroelastic response of spinning projectiles with large slenderness...

Traditional methods are unable to effectively assess the health status of engine bleed air systems. To address the limitation, this paper proposes a methodology for constructing health indicators using multi-level feature extraction. First, this appr...

Sensor health assessments are of great importance for accurately understanding the health of an aeroengine, supporting maintenance decisions, and ensuring flight safety. This study proposes an intelligent framework based on a physically guided neural...

Hybrid rockets using specific oxidizer–fuel combinations are considered a green alternative to current propulsion systems, as they do not release very toxic or polluting exhausts, but only much less harmful substances such as carbon monoxide/di...

The penetration of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is an important aspect of UAV games. In recent years, UAV penetration has generally been solved using artificial intelligence methods such as reinforcement learning. However, the high sample demand o...

In an axial-flow turbine of a jet engine used for aircraft propulsion, the passage vortex (PV) and tip leakage vortex (TLV) generated inside the blade passage deteriorate the aerodynamic performance. In this study, a dielectric barrier discharge plas...

Small satellites with academic missions in low Earth orbit (LEO) employ magnetic attitude control systems primarily due to their ease of development and low cost. These systems utilize magnetorquers to generate a magnetic moment that interacts with E...

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been applied in different research fields. In this study, the XGBoost regression model is proposed to estimate JT9D engine thrust. The model performance mean absolute error (MAE) is 0.00484...
