In the framework of the MATIM project, an acoustic test campaign was conducted on a platform derived from a commercial-class quadcopter within the CIRA semi-anechoic chamber. A dedicated rotor rig allowed systematic measurements of thrust, torque, an...

During the process of flexible aerial refueling, the flexible structure of the hose drogue assembly is affected by internal and external interference, such as docking maneuvering, deformation of the hose, attitude changes, and body vibrations, causin...

This paper provides a comparative study of unsupervised Deep Learning (DL) methods for anomaly detection in Flight Data Monitoring (FDM). The paper applies Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN...

The aerodynamic optimization of airfoil shapes remains a critical research area for enhancing aircraft performance under various flight conditions. In this study, the RAE 2822 airfoil was selected as a benchmark case to investigate and compare the ef...

In airport operations management, accurately estimating the service durations of ground support equipment such as Potable Water Trucks (PWTs) is essential for improving resource allocation efficiency and ensuring timely aircraft turnaround. Tradition...

This paper presents a visual active SLAM method considering measurement and state uncertainty for space exploration in urban search and rescue environments. An uncertainty evaluation method based on the Fisher Information Matrix (FIM) is studied from...

The increasing presence of non-cooperative targets poses significant challenges to the space environment and threatens the sustainability of aerospace operations. Accurate on-orbit perception of such targets, particularly those without cooperative ma...

A turboprop aircraft is exposed to the risk of bird strikes during flight, which may have a serious impact on flight safety once the bird is sucked into the engine. In this study, the aerodynamic and bird exclusion characteristics of a branched turbo...

The terminal maneuvering area (TMA) serves as a critical transition zone between upper enroute airways and airports, representing one of the most complex regions for managing high volumes of arrival and departure traffic. This paper presents the mult...

The velocity distribution at the deflector jet outlet significantly influences the pressure characteristics of the pilot stage, thereby affecting the dynamic performance of the servo valve. Conventional mathematical models fail to account for the inf...
