  • Robust Gas Turbine and Airframe System Design in Light of Uncertain
    Robust Gas Turbine and Airframe System Design in Light of Uncertain Fuel and CO2 Prices Stephan Langmaak1, James Scanlan2, and András Sóbester3 University of Southampton, Southampton, SO16 7QF, United Kingdom This paper presents a study that numerically investigated which cruise speed the next generation of short-haul aircraft with 150 seats should y at and whether a con- ventional two- or three-shaft turbofan, a geared turbofan, a turboprop, or an open rotor should be employed in order to make the aircraft's direct operating cost robust to uncertain fuel and carbon (CO2) prices in the Year 2030, taking the aircraft pro- ductivity, the passenger value of time, and the modal shift into account. To answer this question, an optimization loop was set up in MATLAB consisting of nine modules covering gas turbine and airframe design and performance, ight and aircraft eet sim- ulation, operating cost, and optimization. If the passenger value of time is included, the most robust aircraft design is powered by geared turbofan engines and cruises at Mach 0.80. If the value of time is ignored, however, then a turboprop aircraft ying at Mach 0.70 is the optimum solution. This demonstrates that the most fuel-ecient option, the open rotor, is not automatically the most cost-ecient solution because of the relatively high engine and airframe costs. 1 Research Engineer, Computational Engineering and Design 2 Professor of Aerospace Design, Computational Engineering and Design, AIAA member 3 Associate Professor in Aircraft Engineering, Computational Engineering and Design, AIAA member 1 I. Introduction A. Background IT takes around 5 years to develop a gas turbine engine, which then usually remains in pro- duction for more than two decades [1, 2].

  • Critical Mach Number, Transonic Area Rule
    Critical Mach number - Compressibility Effects on Lift The design parameter that influences compressibility effects on lift is the Critical Mach number (Mcr). This is the free stream Mach number when sonic conditions (M = 1) is reached at some point on the airfoil surface The figure illustrates the same airfoil, at the same angle of attack at different free stream Mach numbers leading to the definition of the critical Mach number The critical Mach number can be obtained through the curve for the minimum pressure coefficient as a function of Mach number. It can be determined through the intersection of the two equations The lift coefficient correction for compressibility is The figure above illustrates that If you plan to fly at high free stream Mach number, you airfoil should be thin to (a) increase your critical Mach number as this will keep your drag rise small This will also result in lower minimum pressure: Therefore your lift coefficient will decrease Note that the minimum pressure coefficient on thick airfoil is high; this means that the velocity is also correspondingly high. Therefore the critical Mach number is reached for lower value of the free stream Mach number. Swept wing A B-52 Stratofortress showing wing with a large sweepback angle. A swept wing is a wing planform favored for high subsonic jet speeds first investigated in Germany from 1935 onwards until the end of the Second World War. Since the introduction of the MiG-15 and North American F-86 which demonstrated a decisive superiority over the slower first generation of straight-wing jet fighters during the Korean War, swept wings have become almost universal on all but the slowest jets (such as the A- 10).

We accept no responsibility for the use or application of this information. We suggest that readers contact the specific government and military programme offices if seeking to confirm the reliability of any data. 1 MARKET OVERVIEW Broadly speaking, the global helicopter market is currently facing a two- pronged assault. The military helicopter segment has been impacted significantly by continued defense budgetary pressures across most traditional markets, and a recent slide in global crude oil prices has impacted the demand for new civil helicopters as well as the level of activity for existing fleets engaged in the offshore oil & gas exploration sector. This situation has impacted industry OEMs significantly, many of which had been working towards strengthening the civil helicopter segment to partially offset the impact of budgetary cuts on the military segment. However, the medium- to long-term view of the market is promising given the presence of strong fundamentals and persistent, sustainable growth drivers. The market for military helicopters in particular is set to cross a technological threshold in the form of next-generation compound helicopters and tilt rotorcraft.

  • Comparison of Helicopter Turboshaft Engines
    Comparison of Helicopter Turboshaft Engines John Schenderlein1, and Tyler Clayton2 University of Colorado, Boulder, CO, 80304 Although they garnish less attention than their flashy jet cousins, turboshaft engines hold a specialized niche in the aviation industry. Built to be compact, efficient, and powerful, turboshafts have made modern helicopters and the feats they accomplish possible. First implemented in the 1950s, turboshaft geometry has gone largely unchanged, but advances in materials and axial flow technology have continued to drive higher power and efficiency from today's turboshafts. Similarly to the turbojet and fan industry, there are only a handful of big players in the market. The usual suspects - Pratt & Whitney, General Electric, and Rolls-Royce - have taken over most of the industry, but lesser known companies like Lycoming and Turbomeca still hold a footing in the Turboshaft world. Nomenclature shp = Shaft Horsepower SFC = Specific Fuel Consumption FPT = Free Power Turbine HPT = High Power Turbine Introduction & Background Turboshaft engines are very similar to a turboprop engine; in fact many turboshaft engines were created by modifying existing turboprop engines to fit the needs of the rotorcraft they propel. The most common use of turboshaft engines is in scenarios where high power and reliability are required within a small envelope of requirements for size and weight. Most helicopter, marine, and auxiliary power units applications take advantage of turboshaft configurations. In fact, the turboshaft plays a workhorse role in the aviation industry as much as it is does for industrial power generation. While conventional turbine jet propulsion is achieved through thrust generated by a hot and fast exhaust stream, turboshaft engines creates shaft power that drives one or more rotors on the vehicle.

    Fiche pédagogique ANPI Date : 10/07/2019 – page : 1/20 Référence : FICHE ANPI 2019/1 Rédacteur : Pierre Belair L’approche, l’atterrissage… et la remise des gaz Normalement, tout vol se termine par un atterrissage… Eventuellement une remise des gaz si celui-ci s’avère mal engagé ! A travers ce mémo (ok, un peu plus long que de coutume, mais le sujet le mérite), nous allons tenter de comprendre ce qui se passe, ou peut se passer, lors de cette phase critique du vol. Avant tout une histoire d’énergie Comme chacun sait, voler nécessite de l’énergie ! Si un planeur ne dispose que de sa perpétuelle chute comme source d’énergie, un avion profite d’un moteur aux ordres du pilote. Il pourra, dans certaines limites évidemment, ajuster la quantité d’énergie disponible à la quantité requise pour tenir une pente (vitesse verticale) et une vitesse (vitesse horizontale). Pour commencer, un petit rappel sur l’incidence : Exclusivement en palier (avion – 1 –), l’assiette « i » peut être 1 Incidence assimilée à l’incidence de l’avion « A » « A » ; L’incidence de l’aile est généralement légèrement plus horizon Pente élevée (calage de l’aile) mais pas représentée sur ces schémas. Vitesse « A » Incidence Pour une masse donnée, « A » l’incidence et la vitesse sont liées : Les schémas – 1 – et – 2 – représentent des avions volant à 2 la même incidence, donc la horizon même vitesse, pour une assiette « i » inférieure à « ii ». L’avion – 1 – est en palier. L’avion – 2 – est en montée. Incidence L’assiette « ii » est identique sur « B » 3 les schémas – 2 – et – 3 –, horizon toutefois l’incidence « B » est supérieure à l’incidence « A » correspondant à une vitesse plus faible.
