Fifty years of human space exploration have allowed space psychology as an applied area of science to take major steps forward [...]
As the value and importance of urban air mobility (UAM) are being recognized, there is growing attention towards UAM. To ensure that urban air traffic can serve passengers to the greatest extent while ensuring safety and generating revenue, there is...
Recent developments in aircraft electrical technology, such as the design and production of more electric aircraft (MEA) and major steps in the development of all-electric aircraft (AEA), have had a significant impact on aircraft’s electrical p...
Point cloud data obtained from scanning propellant grains with 3D scanning equipment exhibit positional uncertainty in space, posing significant challenges for calculating the relevant parameters of the propellant grains. Therefore, it is essential t...
Utilizing thermal updrafts shows potential for enabling long-endurance cruising of fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles without energy consumption. This article presents a novel online method based on sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics (SINDy...
Based on the performance and acoustic data files of reduced-size open-rotor engines in low-speed wind tunnels, the static sound pressure level was derived by converting the 1-foot lossless spectral density into sound-pressure-level data, the backgrou...
High-speed ballistic impact tests were conducted at room temperature and 500 °C on nickel-based superalloy GH4169 simulated blade specimens containing leading-edge features. The microscopic characteristics of the impact notch at room temperature...
A partial space elevator (PSE) is a multi-body tethered space system in which the main satellite, typically an ultra-large spacecraft or a space station in a higher orbit, is connected to a transport spacecraft in a lower orbit via a tether, maintain...
Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is one of the high-precision additive manufacturing techniques for producing complex 3D components. It is well known that defects appear in additive-manufactured parts, and they deeply affect the fatigue properties; eve...
