Optimal Design Operation Strategies of a Hyperloop Transportation System

Denis Tudor

In the last decades, transportation demand growth has played a major role in the increase of global CO2 footprint. At the same time, a number of countries have scheduled measurable and substantial cutback of CO2 emissions by 2050. As the transportation sec ...

RRT*-Based Algorithm for Trajectory Planning Considering Probabilistic Weather Forecasts

Maryam Kamgarpour, Eduardo Andres Enderiz

Convective weather and its inherent uncertainty constitute one of the major challenges in the air traffic management (ATM) system, entailing both safety hazards and economic losses. In the present work, we propose a stochastic algorithm for trajectory plan ...

Photogrammetric Mission Planner for RPAS

Jan Skaloud, Martin Rehak, Florian Gandor

This paper presents a development of an open-source flight planning tool for Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) that is dedicated to high-precision photogrammetric mapping. This tool contains planning functions that are usually available in professio ...

ACTIVE MODEL ROCKET STABILIZATION VIA COLD GAS THRUSTERS

Gautier Marie Pierre Rouaze, Anton Ivanov, Xavier Collaud, Raimondo Pictet, Danylo Malyuta, Mikael Martins Gaspar

This paper describes the development and testing of a reaction control system (RCS) for a model rocket named FALCO-4. The rocket uses cold gas jets to keep itself perfectly vertical at low speeds. We first describe the mechanical layout of FALCO-4 and the ...

Vortical Flow Patterns for High Lift for High Speed Aircraft Concepts

Pénélope Leyland, Michele Gaffuri

Enhancing detached vortical flow over leading edges and flap surfaces allow high lift configurations in critical regimes of take-off and acceleration. In the context of the FP6 Environmentally Friendly High Speed Aircraft project HISAC, future high speed a ...

Modeling and Optimization of Terminal Airspace and Aircraft Arrival Subject To Weather Uncertainties

Maryam Kamgarpour, Wei Zhang

We develop an accurate model for the arrival traffic dynamics in terminal airspace that takes into account the weather forecast and runway configuration changes. The planning of runway configuration switching subject to weather constraints is formulated as ...

American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics2011

We report on the fabrication of atomic force microscopy (AFM) probes using a novel technology that performs every machining step by means of one single deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) equipment. Specific etching conditions are optimized in order to define ...
