Effective predictive maintenance is crucial for ensuring aircraft reliability, reducing operational disruptions, and supporting spare part inventory management in airline operations. However, maintenance data is often sparse, with irregular observati...

Amidst the increasing aerial traffic and road traffic congestion, Urban Air Mobility (UAM) has emerged as a new mode of aerial transport offering less travel time and ease of portability. A critical factor in reducing travel time is the emerging elec...

Efficient resource allocation is critical for transportation hub operations, yet current scheduling systems require substantial domain-specific customization when deployed across different facilities. This paper presents a domain-adaptive deep reinfo...

The transfer of aircraft on deck relies on the traction system, which is easily affected by the offshore environment. Violent ship motion in the complex marine environment poses a great threat to the aircraft traction process, such as the tire sidesl...

As international lunar exploration shifts from mainly understanding the Moon to equally prioritizing its utilization, the requirement for highly similar lunar regolith simulants has grown. Current simulants, produced mainly by mechanical crushing and...

Aerospace power systems, including satellites in low earth orbit (LEO) and geostationary earth orbit (GEO), face stringent thermal constraints to minimize size, weight, and power (SWaP). Gallium nitride (GaN) devices offer superior radiation hardness...

Nitrous oxide (N₂O) has attracted increasing attention as an oxidizer for space propulsion systems due to its non-toxic nature and favorable handling characteristics. Its relatively high vapor pressure allows self-pressurization, while its wide stora...

Designing high-speed aircraft for wide-speed-range operation remains a major aerodynamic challenge. This study investigates the unsteady aerodynamics of a continuously morphing airfoil from transonic to hypersonic regimes. A smooth morphing trajector...

During lunar landing and takeoff, an extremely under-expanded jet from retrorocket engines generates a complex impingement flow, including multiple shocks and a near-field recirculation bubble, posing critical risks to lunar missions. To clarify the...

The increasing demand for air travel has intensified the need for more efficient air traffic management (ATM) solutions. One of the key challenges in this domain is the optimal sectorization of airspace to ensure balanced controller workload and oper...
