  • The Stepped Hull Hybrid Hydrofoil
    The Stepped Hull Hybrid Hydrofoil Christopher D. Barry, Bryan Duffty Planing @brid hydrofoils or partially hydrofoil supported planing boat are hydrofoils that intentionally operate in what would be the takeoff condition for a norma[ hydrofoil. They ofler a compromise ofperformance and cost that might be appropriate for ferq missions. The stepped hybrid configuration has made appearances in the high speed boat scene as early as 1938. It is a solution to the problems of instability and inefficiency that has limited other type of hybrids. It can be configured to have good seakeeping as well, but the concept has not been used as widely as would be justified by its merits. The purpose of this paper is to reintroduce this concept to the marine community, particularly for small, fast ferries. We have performed analytic studies, simple model experiments and manned experiments, andfiom them have determined some specljic problems and issues for the practical implementation of this concept. This paper presents background information, discusses key concepts including resistance, stability, seakeeping, and propulsion and suggests solutions to what we believe are the problems that have limited the widespread acceptance of this concept. Finally we propose a “strawman” design for a ferry in a particular service using this technology. BACKGROUND Partially hydrofoil supported planing hulls mix hydrofoil support and planing lift. The most obvious A hybrid hydrofoil is a vehicle combining the version of this concept is a planing hull with a dynamic lift of hydrofoils with a significant amount of hydrofoil more or less under the center of gravity. lit? tiom some other source, generally either buoyancy Karafiath (1974) studied this concept and ran model or planing lift.

  • Bilevel Rail Car - Wikipedia
    Bilevel rail car - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilevel_rail_car Bilevel rail car The bilevel car (American English) or double-decker train (British English and Canadian English) is a type of rail car that has two levels of passenger accommodation, as opposed to one, increasing passenger capacity (in example cases of up to 57% per car).[1] In some countries such vehicles are commonly referred to as dostos, derived from the German Doppelstockwagen. The use of double-decker carriages, where feasible, can resolve capacity problems on a railway, avoiding other options which have an associated infrastructure cost such as longer trains (which require longer station Double-deck rail car operated by Agence métropolitaine de transport platforms), more trains per hour (which the signalling or safety in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The requirements may not allow) or adding extra tracks besides the existing Lucien-L'Allier station is in the back line. ground. Bilevel trains are claimed to be more energy efficient,[2] and may have a lower operating cost per passenger.[3] A bilevel car may carry about twice as many as a normal car, without requiring double the weight to pull or material to build. However, a bilevel train may take longer to exchange passengers at each station, since more people will enter and exit from each car. The increased dwell time makes them most popular on long-distance routes which make fewer stops (and may be popular with passengers for offering a better view).[1] Bilevel cars may not be usable in countries or older railway systems with Bombardier double-deck rail cars in low loading gauges.

  • Human Powered Hydrofoil Design & Analytic Wing Optimization
    Human Powered Hydrofoil Design & Analytic Wing Optimization Andy Gunkler and Dr. C. Mark Archibald Grove City College Grove City, PA 16127 Email: [email protected] Abstract – Human powered hydrofoil watercraft can have marked performance advantages over displacement-hull craft, but pose significant engineering challenges. The focus of this hydrofoil independent research project was two-fold. First of all, a general vehicle configuration was developed. Secondly, a thorough optimization process was developed for designing lifting foils that are highly efficient over a wide range of speeds. Given a well-defined set of design specifications, such as vehicle weight and desired top speed, an optimal horizontal, non-surface- piercing wing can be engineered. Design variables include foil span, area, planform shape, and airfoil cross section. The optimization begins with analytical expressions of hydrodynamic characteristics such as lift, profile drag, induced drag, surface wave drag, and interference drag. Research of optimization processes developed in the past illuminated instances in which coefficients of lift and drag were assumed to be constant. These shortcuts, made presumably for the sake of simplicity, lead to grossly erroneous regions of calculated drag. The optimization process developed for this study more accurately computes profile drag forces by making use of a variable coefficient of drag which, was found to be a function of the characteristic Reynolds number, required coefficient of lift, and airfoil section. At the desired cruising speed, total drag is minimized while lift is maximized. Next, a strength and rigidity analysis of the foil eliminates designs for which the hydrodynamic parameters produce structurally unsound wings. Incorporating constraints on minimum takeoff speed and power required to stay foil-borne isolates a set of optimized design parameters.

  • Artifacts and Aircraft
    International Journal of Business, Humanities and Technology Vol. 5, No. 2; April 2015 The Ancients: Artifacts and Aircraft Susan Kelly Archer, EdD Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Department of Doctoral Studies College of Aviation Daytona Beach, Florida USA Abstract Throughout literature and other art forms, certain themes appear repeatedly. The same might be said for engineering designs, specifically the design of aerospace vehicles. In 1996, Lumir Janku wrote about a set of artifacts, discovered in Peru and determined to be Pre-Columbian, that can be interpreted as models of delta- winged fliers. The design of the Peruvian artifacts has been interpreted in multiple ways by a variety of professionals. The delta wing was also incorporated into the design of civilian aircraft during the 20th Century. Modern delta-winged aircraft were used successfully in both military and civilian applications for more than 40 years. It is interesting to read about the possibility that this aeronautical design may have originated millennia earlier with a culture that did not leave written records to explain its artifacts crafted in gold. Keywords: aviation history, delta wing, Pre-Columbian artifacts Throughout literature and other art forms, certain themes appear repeatedly. The same might be said for engineering designs, specifically the design of aerospace vehicles. Man’s fascination with how birds fly can be linked to the ancient legends of Daedalus or the winged Egyptian gods, and then more recently to John Damien’s attempt to fly with wings made from chicken feathers (Brady, 2000) or Otto Lillienthal’s essays linking the physiology of birds to the design of early gliders (Lillienthal, 2001).

  • 10. Supersonic Aerodynamics
    Grumman Tribody Concept featured on the 1978 company calendar. The basis for this idea will be explained below. 10. Supersonic Aerodynamics 10.1 Introduction There have actually only been a few truly supersonic airplanes. This means airplanes that can cruise supersonically. Before the F-22, classic “supersonic” fighters used brute force (afterburners) and had extremely limited duration. As an example, consider the two defined supersonic missions for the F-14A: F-14A Supersonic Missions CAP (Combat Air Patrol) • 150 miles subsonic cruise to station • Loiter • Accel, M = 0.7 to 1.35, then dash 25 nm - 4 1/2 minutes and 50 nm total • Then, must head home, or to a tanker! DLI (Deck Launch Intercept) • Energy climb to 35K ft, M = 1.5 (4 minutes) • 6 minutes at M = 1.5 (out 125-130 nm) • 2 minutes Combat (slows down fast) After 12 minutes, must head home or to a tanker. In this chapter we will explain the key supersonic aerodynamics issues facing the configuration aerodynamicist. We will start by reviewing the most significant airplanes that had substantial sustained supersonic capability. We will then examine the key physical underpinnings of supersonic gas dynamics and their implications for configuration design. Examples are presented showing applications of modern CFD and the application of MDO. We will see that developing a practical supersonic airplane is extremely demanding and requires careful integration of the various contributing technologies. Finally we discuss contemporary efforts to develop new supersonic airplanes. 10.2 Supersonic “Cruise” Airplanes The supersonic capability described above is typical of most of the so-called supersonic fighters, and obviously the supersonic performance is limited.

  • 04 Delta Wings
    ExperimentalExperimental AerodynamicsAerodynamics Lecture 4: Delta wing experiments G. Dimitriadis Experimental Aerodynamics Introduction •! In this course we will demonstrate the use of several different experimental aerodynamic methodologies •! The particular application will be the aerodynamics of Delta wings at low airspeeds. •! Delta wings are of particular interest because of their lift generation mechanism. Experimental Aerodynamics Delta wing history •! Until the 1930s the vast majority of aircraft featured rectangular, trapezoidal or elliptical wings. •! Delta wings started being studied in the 1930s by Alexander Lippisch in Germany. •! Lippisch wanted to create tail-less aircraft, and Delta wings were one of the solutions he proposed. Experimental Aerodynamics Delta Lippisch DM-1 Designed as an interceptor jet but never produced. The photos show a glider prototype version. Experimental Aerodynamics High speed flight •! After the war, the potential of Delta wings for supersonic flight was recognized both in the US and the USSR. MiG-21 Convair XF-92 Experimental Aerodynamics Low speed performance •! Although Delta wings are designed for high speeds, they still have to take off and land at small airspeeds. •! It is important to determine the aerodynamic forces acting on Delta wings at low speed. •! The lift generated by such wings are low speeds can be split into two contributions: –! Potential flow lift –! Vortex lift Experimental Aerodynamics Delta wing geometry cb Wing surface: S = 2 2b Aspect ratio: AR = "! c c! b AR Sweep angle: tan ! = = 2c 4 b/2! Experimental Aerodynamics Potential flow lift •! Slender wing theory •! The wind is discretized into transverse segments. •! The flow around each segment is modeled as a 2D flow past a flat plate perpendicular to the free stream Experimental Aerodynamics Slender wing theory •! The problem of calculating the flow around the wing becomes equivalent to calculating the flow around each 2D segment.
