INTRODUCTION This issue of Aeronautical Engineering -- A Continuing Bibliography (NASA SP-7037) lists 519 reports, journal articles and other documents originally announced in February 1987 in Scientific and Technical Aerospace Reports (STAR) or in International Aerospace Abstracts (IAA). The coverage includes documents on the engineering and theoretical aspects of design, construc- tion, evaluation, testing, operation, and performance of aircraft (including aircraft engines) and as- sociated components, equipment, and systems. It also includes research and development in aerodynamics, aeronautics, and ground support equipment for aeronautical vehicles. Each entry in the bibliography consists of a standard bibliographic citation accompanied in most cases by an abstract. The listing of the entries is arranged by the first nine STAR specific categories and the remaining STAR major categories. This arrangement offers the user the most advantageous breakdown for individual objectives. The citations include the original accession numbers from the respective announcement journals.The lAA items will precede the STAR items within each category Seven indexes -- subject, personal author, corporate source, foreign technology, contract number, report number, and accession number -- are included. An annual cummulative index will be published. Information on the availability of cited publications including addresses of organizations and NTlS price schedules is located at the back of this bibliography. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Category 01 Aeronautics (General) 63 Category 02 Aerodynamics 66 Includes aerodynamics of bodies, combinations, wings, rotors, and control surfaces; and internal flow in ducts and turbomachinery.

Model variables made testing of the model possible with the canard in hiqh and low positions, with increased winglet area, with outboard win9 leading-edge droop. with fuselage-mounted vertical fin and rudder, with enlarged rudders, with dual deflecting rudders, and with ailerons mounted closer to the wing tips. The basic model exhibited generally good longitudinaland lateral stability and control characteristics. The removal of an outboard leading-edge droop degraded roll damping and produced lightly damped roll (wing rock) oscillations. In general, the model exhibited very stable dihedral effect but weak directional stability. Rudder and aileron control power were sufficiently adequate for control of most flight conditions, but appeared to be relatively weak for maneuvering compared with those of more conventionally configured models.

The goilerning equations, the numerical scheme, and modifications to the algebraic eddy-viscosity turbulence model are described; and results for three cones and one ogive-cylinder body (obtained using grids of 50 nonuniformly spaced points in the radial direction between the body and the outer boundary) are presented graphically and compared with published experimental data. The grids employed are found to provide sufficient spatial resolution of the leeward-side vortices; when combined with the modified turbulence

  • The Changing Structure of the Global Large Civil Aircraft Industry and Market: Implications for the Competitiveness of the U.S
    ABSTRACT On September 23, 1997, at the request of the House Committee on Ways and Means (Committee),1 the United States International Trade Commission (Commission) instituted investigation No. 332-384, The Changing Structure of the Global Large Civil Aircraft Industry and Market: Implications for the Competitiveness of the U.S. Industry, under section 332(g) of the Tariff Act of 1930, for the purpose of exploring recent developments in the global large civil aircraft (LCA) industry and market. As requested by the Committee, the Commission’s report on the investigation is similar in scope to the report submitted to the Senate Committee on Finance by the Commission in August 1993, initiated under section 332(g) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (USITC inv. No. 332-332, Global Competitiveness of U.S. Advanced-Technology Manufacturing Industries: Large Civil Aircraft, Publication 2667) and includes the following information: C A description of changes in the structure of the global LCA industry, including the Boeing-McDonnell Douglas merger, the restructuring of Airbus Industrie, the emergence of Russian producers, and the possibility of Asian parts suppliers forming consortia to manufacture complete airframes; C A description of developments in the global market for aircraft, including the emergence of regional jet aircraft and proposed jumbo jets, and issues involving Open Skies and free flight; C A description of the implementation and status of the 1992 U.S.-EU Large Civil Aircraft Agreement; C A description of other significant developments that affect the competitiveness of the U.S. LCA industry; and C An analysis of the aforementioned structural changes in the LCA industry and market to assess the impact of these changes on the competitiveness of the U.S.

  • Government and British Civil Aerospace 1945-64.Pdf
    Journal of Aeronautical History Paper No. 2018/04 Government and British Civil Aerospace 1945-64 Professor Keith Hayward Preface This paper is something of a trip down an academic memory lane. My first book, published in the early 1980s, carried a similar title, albeit with a longer time span. While it had the irreplaceable benefit of some first hand memories of the period, the official record was closed. A later history of the UK aircraft industry did refer in part to such material dating from the 1940s, but access to the ‘secret’ historical material of the 1950s and beyond was still blocked by the then “Thirty Year” rule. By the time the restrictions were relaxed to a “Twenty Year” rule or even more by the liberality offered by “Freedom of Information” legislation, I had moved on to the more pressing demands of analysing the world aerospace industry for the SBAC. 1 My years at the Royal Aeronautical Society afforded a bit more scope. Discovery of an archive on the formation of the British Aircraft Corporation, and published by the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Journal of Aeronautical History 2, stimulated a hankering to open more musty files on the 1950s. This led to a series of articles published in the Aviation Historian. However much this satisfied an initial hankering to look back to a critical period in UK aerospace, there were gaps to be filled in the narrative and the analysis. With the encouragement of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Aeronautical History, I have endeavoured to provide a more coherent overview of government policy towards the civil sector.

  • Common Factors in the Withdrawal of European Aircraft Manufacturers from the Regional Aircraft Market
    Technology Analysis & Strategic Management Vol. 22, No. 1, January 2010, 65–80 Common factors in the withdrawal of European aircraft manufacturers from the regional aircraft market Hans Heerkensa, Erik J. de Bruijna and Harm-Jan Steenhuisb∗ aSchool of Management and Governance, University of Twente, The Netherlands; bCollege of Business and Public Administration, Eastern Washington University, USA We investigate whether there were common causes for the withdrawal from the regional aircraft market of three established manufacturers (BAE Systems, Fokker and Saab), while competi- tors thrived. We focus on the markets for 50- and 100-seat aircraft. One cause concerning the 50-seat market was the introduction of a new class of aircraft, the regional jet, which pushed the less successful turboprop aircraft from the market. Turboprop aircraft that had been relatively successful before the introduction of regional jets survived. A probable reason for the with- drawal of BAE Systems and Fokker from the 100-seat market (in which Saab was not present) was that their products were ‘standalone’ aircraft, while those of their successful competitors were members of aircraft families, the larger members being far more successful. It was not the availability of technology that determined the success of regional aircraft manufacturers, but the application of (suppliers’) technology in new products. Keywords: aerospace industry; regional jet market; withdrawal strategy Introduction Downloaded By: [Universiteit Twente] At: 09:05 23 December 2009 For students of corporate strategy, there is an abundance of literature on factors that influence the success or failure of individual companies or products; see, for example, Johnson and Scholes (1999) and Kerzner (2003).
