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]. -
Introduction Firstly, We Have Given a Little Background of France, in Terms
Introduction Firstly, we have given a little background of France, in terms of its geographic, Demographic, political and economic characteristics and a brief History of France from its old age till the Modern times. Secondly, In order to find the absolute and comparative advantages of France, in terms of its international trade and economic prosperity, we have categorized the imports and exports of France into the following categories: Mineral products, Wood products, Metal products, Stones and glass products, Paper goods, Agriculture products, Animal products, Food stuffs, Weapons, Footwear and headwear, Animal hides, Textiles, Transportations, Machineries, Arts and antiques, Precious metals, Chemical products, instruments, plastics and rubbers. We have kept the imports/exports data of the year 2013 and 2014 under observations and had a relative comparison of France’s imports and exports commodities of these three years. The relative comparison of which are listed in the appendix, in terms of monetary value, percentage value of each categories and the overall imports and exports. Since, the imports and exports were in large numbers, thus we have taken the top 5 imports and exports of each category, as mentioned in the above paragraph, to find out the absolute and comparative advantages of France. Furthermore, we have: revealed the best comparative advantage by applying porter’s diamond model; determined the destination countries, where commodities are exported, by selecting a single company with in the industry that has the best comparative advantage. And finally, we determined the mode expansion using Foreign Direct Investment model. Background Geographically: France, with an Area of 643,801 Sq. -

Rotorcraft (2011)
Rotorcraft Overview The rotorcraft industry produces aircraft, powered by either turboshaft or reciprocating engines, capable of performing vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) operations. The rotorcraft sector includes helicopters, gyrocopters, and tiltrotor aircraft. Helicopters, which employ a horizontal rotor for both lift and propulsion, are the mainstay of the industry. Gyrocopters are produced in much smaller quantities, primarily for use in recreational flying. Tiltrotor aircraft, such as the V-22 Osprey1, can take off vertically and then fly horizontally as a fixed-wing aircraft. Rotorcraft are manufactured in most industrialized countries, based on indigenous design or in collaboration with, or under license from, other manufacturers. Manufacturers in the United States of civilian helicopters include American Eurocopter, Bell, Enstrom, Kaman, MD Helicopters, Robinson, Schweizer (now a subsidiary of Sikorsky), and Sikorsky. Bell moved its civilian helicopter production to Canada, with the last U.S. product completed in 1993.2 American Eurocopter—a subsidiary of the European manufacturer and subsidiary of EADS NV—has manufacturing and assembly facilities in Grand Prairie, Texas and Columbus, Missouri. European producers include AgustaWestland, Eurocopter, NHIndustries, and PZL Swidnik. Russian manufacturers including Mil Moscow, Kamov and Kazan helicopters, as well as a number of other rotorcraft related companies, have been consolidated under the Russian government majority-owned OAO OPK Oboronprom.3 (See this report’s Russia -

Uk Dti-Report 2014.Pdf
1 This is the second year that UKTI DSO has released defence and security export figures as ‘Official Statistics’. This year’s release has been compiled in conjunction with the BIS Statistics - Analysis team. The document takes into account feedback from readers via a User Engagement survey. Our defence statistics relate to sales to overseas Ministries of Defence and associated Armed Services. This makes them customer‐based, rather than product-based. Security data is provided by a contractor called kMatrix, under a multi-year contract to UKTI DSO. All the information collected on the defence and security markets is vital to our understanding of the shape of the market and trends. It helps UKTI DSO in targeting support to all sections of the defence and security industries. 2 3 The global defence export market in 2014 is estimated to be valued at more than £50Bn ($83Bn). In an increasingly competitive global export market, the UK’s defence export total of £8.5Bn in 2014 is a considerable achievement, particularly coming off the back of major platform exports in 2013. UK defence companies enjoyed global success throughout 2014. Selected UK defence wins included Trent 700 engines for A330 Multi-Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) aircraft to France; Advanced Short Range Air-to-Air Missiles (ASRAMM) to India and the ForceShield Integrated Air Defence System plus Starstreak Missiles to Indonesia. By geographic customer destination, the UK’s most important markets for defence and security exports were in the Middle East, North America and the Asia-Pacific. 4 Year-on-year, the global defence export market experiences peaks and troughs in response to fluctuations in defence spending levels, threat perception and national requirements. -
