With the need for more condensed airborne clusters in a shortened time, there are increased risks of parachute collision and other interactions in the air. In this paper, the flight dynamics model of the parachute system is proposed for the whole dep...
This article examines the flight dynamics and trajectory analysis of a parachute–payload system deployed from a C-17 aircraft. The aircraft is modeled with an open cargo door, extended flaps, and four turbo-fan engines operating at an altitude...
The airborne corner reflector (ACR), a novel radar passive jamming device, has attracted increasing attention from researchers worldwide due to its enhanced interference coverage when suspended by a parachute. However, the directional nature of ACRs...
Amid intensifying competition in airdrop equipment development, there is a growing demand for large-load, high-precision, maneuverable, and low-cost airdrop systems. However, Precision Aerial Delivery Systems (PADS) exhibit structural complexity and...
A comprehensive simulation model is established to predict the trajectory of a high-altitude zero-pressure balloon flight system with no parachute that is required to carry the load floating at the designated altitude for several hours or less. A ser...
The accurate modelling and simulation of vehicle dynamics is a fundamental prerequisite for the design and experimental flight testing of aerospace vehicles. In the case of high-altitude supersonic sounding rockets, it is critically important to prod...
In this work, we propose a systematic procedure to design a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) to control the lateral motion of powered parachute (PPC) flying vehicles. The design process does not require knowing the details of vehicle dynamics. Moreover,...
This study presents the design, fabrication, and experimental validation of the Hermes reusable model rocket platform integrating additive manufacturing, onboard sensing, and telemetry capabilities for low-cost aerospace experimentation. The rocket w...
Weather balloons are a popular tool to obtain atmospheric data. One of the biggest advantages of using this type of vehicle for scientific research is their inexpensiveness, as they are only composed of an inflated envelope, a parachute, and a sonde....
