  • ACTIVE CONTROL TRANSPORT DESIGN CRITERIA Bertrand M
    ACTIVE CONTROL TRANSPORT DESIGN CRITERIA Bertrand M . Hall McDonnell Douglas Astronautics Company and Robert B. Harris Douglas Aircraft Company INTRODUCTION The question of design criteria for active control transports is one of the key issues involved in the design. The reason for this is that if one is to realize benefits in the form of increased range, decreased weight, etc., he must be able to apply design criteria which take into consideration the design improvements afforded by active controls. The work presented in this paper draws heavily from the report of an industry panel sponsored by NASA in 1972-73 to study vehicle design considerations for active control applications to subsonic transports. This work is soon to be published in a NASA document, reference 1. Additional background material has been drawn from references 2 through 16, which are not cited individually. In this paper today we will define what is meant by active control and then define those functions wiiich were considered by this panel and should be considered in any detailed study of design criteria. Fie will also touch briefly on the FAA regulations governing transport aircraft design. ACTIVE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY '4 The question of just what kind of an airplane configuration satisfies the definition of an active control aircraft is difficult. Several designations for this type of aircraft have been used (fly by wire, CCV, etc.) but an air- craft utilizing active controls can, in general, be identified as one in which significant inputs (over and above those of the pilot) are transmitted to the control surfaces for the purpose of augmenting vehicle performance.

    Contents Puge FOREWORD ...................... u 1947-56 ......................... 1 1957-66 ........................ 19 1967-76 ........................ 45 1977-86 ........................ 81 1987-97 ........................ 117 iii Foreword This chronology commemorates the golden anniversary of the establishment of the United States Air Force (USAF) as an independent service. Dedicated to the men and women of the USAF past, present, and future, it records significant events and achievements from 18 September 1947 through 9 April 1997. Since its establishment, the USAF has played a significant role in the events that have shaped modem history. Initially, the reassuring drone of USAF transports announced the aerial lifeline that broke the Berlin blockade, the Cold War’s first test of wills. In the tense decades that followed, the USAF deployed a strategic force of nuclear- capable intercontinental bombers and missiles that deterred open armed conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. During the Cold War’s deadly flash points, USAF jets roared through the skies of Korea and Southeast Asia, wresting air superiority from their communist opponents and bringing air power to the support of friendly ground forces. In the great global competition for the hearts and minds of the Third World, hundreds of USAF humanitarian missions relieved victims of war, famine, and natural disaster. The Air Force performed similar disaster relief services on the home front. Over Grenada, Panama, and Libya, the USAF participated in key contingency actions that presaged post-Cold War operations. In the aftermath of the Cold War the USAF became deeply involved in constructing a new world order. As the Soviet Union disintegrated, USAF flights succored the populations of the newly independent states.

  • The Parashield Entry Vehicle Concept: Basic Theory and Flight Test
    I I The ParaShield Entry Vehicle Concept: I Basic Theory and Flight Test Development I David L. Akint Abstract: With the emergence of microsatellite launch vehicle technology and the development of I interest in space commercialization, there is a renewed need for entry vehicle technology to return mass from low earth orbiL This paper documents the ParaShield concept of the Space Systems Laboratory. which is an ultra-low ballistic coefficient (UI...p) entry vehicle. Trajectory simulations show that. as the ballistic coefficient is lowered into the range of I 100-150 Pa (2-31b1ft2). the total heat load and peak heating flux drop markedly. due to primary deceleration in regions of extremely low dynamic pressure. In this range. any of a number of ceramic or glass-based fabrics can withstand the entry dynamic pressures and I heat loads. Incorporating an offset of the center of gravity from the symmetrical axis of the shield allows UD. and thus peak deceleration loads. to be controlled. By using a titanium support truss and deployment mechanism. a very large heat shield can be deployed from an entry capsule prior to deorbit; since the shield survives entry. the same rib-braced fabric I structure results in aerodynamic deceleration to a nominal landing velocity of 10-15 m/sec,. Thus. the same structure that provides heating protection for hypersonic entry is also the terminal decelerator in the subsonic regime. and either water splashdown or a mechanical I decelerator is used for landing impact attenuation. Since the same structure acts as both the heat shield and the landing parachute, the term "ParaShield" has been adopted to describe this concept Results presented show the application of the ParaShield concept to a variety of entry capsules.

The companies’ propulsion systems have helped to strengthen national defense, launch astronauts into space, and propel unmanned spacecraft to explore the universe. ➢ Aerojet’s diverse rocket propulsion systems have powered military vehicles for decades – from rocket-assisted takeoff for propeller airplanes during World War II – through today’s powerful intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). The systems helped land men on the moon, and maneuvered spacecraft beyond our solar system. ➢ For years, Rocketdyne engines have played a major role in national defense, beginning with powering the United States’ first ICBM to sending modern military communication satellites into orbit. Rocketdyne’s technology also helped launch manned moon missions, propelled space shuttles, and provided the main power system for the International Space Station (ISS). ➢ In 2013, these two rocket propulsion manufacturers became Aerojet Rocketydne, blending expertise and vision to increase efficiency, lower costs, and better compete in the market. Now, as an industry titan, Aerojet Rocketdyne’s talented, passionate employees collaborate to create even greater innovations that protect America and launch its celestial future. 2011 A Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) interceptor is being developed as part of the U.S. Missile Defense Agency’s sea-based Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System.

    BlackwellMalden,PECHP0149-0508©322ORIGINALeace 2007 & Peace USAChange Publishing ARTICLE History Inc Society and Peace and Justice Studies Association PEACEVoices of & Southern CHANGE/April Protest during Voices2007 the Vietnam War Era of Southern Protest during the Vietnam War Era: The University of South Carolina as a Case Study by Andrew Grose Throughout the decades following America’s involvement in the Vietnam War, historians have documented various aspects of the antiwar and dissident movements across the nation and on college campuses. Over time, the historio- graphy of the antiwar movement, especially as related to campus protest movements, has expanded considerably, particularly in regard to the origins, structure, and internal dynamics of the groups involved. Yet there are short- comings in the scholarly literature on this subject. Most historians have focused upon dissident movements in the American North and West while all but neglecting protest activities at colleges in the South. In this article, I show that dissent similar to that which shook other colleges around the nation occurred on the campus of the University of South Carolina. The spring of 1970 will be forever remembered as a tumultuous period in the history of the United States. By this time, America’s continuous involvement in the Vietnam War had resulted in massive increases in military and civilian casualties, contributing to a polarization of the country’s population that sparked numerous instances of massive pro- tests. Moreover, in April 1970, President Richard Nixon, who had earlier proposed a strategy to end American involvement in Vietnam through his plan of “Vietnamization,” ordered American military incursions into Cambodia.
