This paper proposes a trajectory prediction method via the adaptive cost function to address the difficulties in inferring the attack intention and maneuver mode, as well as the accumulation of prediction error during the trajectory prediction of ree...

A damped iterative explicit guidance (DIEG) algorithm is proposed to address the problem of the insufficient convergence of classical explicit guidance methods in the event of thrust drop faults in multistage rockets. Based on the iterative guidance...

The welded pipeline structure of aircraft fuel is a complex and diverse entity, significantly influenced by fluid–solid coupling. The refined aviation fuel-welded pipeline model plays a pivotal role in the investigation of its fluid–solid...

With the rapid growth of air travel, reducing carbon emissions in aviation is imperative. Electric aircraft play a key role in achieving sustainable aviation, especially for large civil aircraft, where reducing emissions, improving the fuel efficienc...

This paper presents a systematic analysis of power generation technologies for a lunar outpost supporting six astronauts. Based on a detailed power budget analysis requiring 65 kWe for life support, scientific equipment, and in situ resource utilizat...

Collaborative flight formations represent a promising operational model, but the integration of multi-source information in manned interfaces often results in cognitive overload and reduced situation awareness. This study evaluates the effectiveness...

The JUpiter Icy Moon Explorer (JUICE) mission, launched on 14 April 2023, aims to explore Jupiter and its Galilean moons, with arrival in the Jovian system planned for mid-2031. One of the scientific investigations is the Geodesy and Geophysics of Ju...

This study investigates the utilization of barrel end-mills in machining titanium alloys for aerospace applications. It involves a comprehensive review of the relevant literature and a preliminary experimental investigation, incorporating the influen...

Fluidic oscillators have emerged as a prominent topic of research in the field of flow control, owing to their broad sweep range and enhanced control efficiency. However, the underlying mechanisms governing the operation of fluidic oscillators remain...

Major space agencies such as NASA and the ESA have long reported the growing dangers caused by resident space objects orbiting our planet. These objects continue to grow in number as satellites are imploded and space debris impacts each other, causin...
