  • ICAO Safety Report |2020
    SAFETY Safety Report 2020 Edition Foreword A Coordinated, Risk-based Approach to Improving Global Aviation Safety The air transport industry plays a major role in global economic activity and development. One of the key elements to maintaining the vitality of civil aviation is to ensure safe, secure, efficient and environmentally sustainable operations at the global, regional and national levels. A specialized agency of the United Nations, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) was established in 1944 to promote the safe and orderly development of international civil aviation throughout the world. ICAO promulgates Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) to facilitate harmonized regulations in aviation safety, security, efficiency and environmental protection on a global basis. Today, ICAO manages over 12 000 SARPs across the 19 Annexes and five Procedures for Air Navigation Services (PANS) to the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention), many of which are constantly evolving in tandem with latest developments and innovations. ICAO serves as the primary forum for co-operation in all fields of civil aviation among its 193 Member States. Improving the safety of the global air transport system is ICAO’s guiding and most fundamental strategic objective. The Organization works constantly to address and enhance global aviation safety through the following coordinated activities: • Policy and Standardization; • Monitoring of key safety trends and indicators; • Safety Analysis; and • Implementing programmes to address safety issues. The ICAO Global Aviation Safety Plan (GASP) presents the strategy in support of the prioritization and continuous improvement of aviation safety. The GASP sets the goals and targets and outlines key safety enhancement initiatives (SEIs) aimed at improving safety at the international, regional and national levels.

  • Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Incorporates Many Significant Technological Enhancements Derived from Predecessor Development Programs
    AIAA AVIATION Forum 10.2514/6.2018-3368 June 25-29, 2018, Atlanta, Georgia 2018 Aviation Technology, Integration, and Operations Conference F-35 Air Vehicle Technology Overview Chris Wiegand,1 Bruce A. Bullick,2 Jeffrey A. Catt,3 Jeffrey W. Hamstra,4 Greg P. Walker,5 and Steve Wurth6 Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company, Fort Worth, TX, 76109, United States of America The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II incorporates many significant technological enhancements derived from predecessor development programs. The X-35 concept demonstrator program incorporated some that were deemed critical to establish the technical credibility and readiness to enter the System Development and Demonstration (SDD) program. Key among them were the elements of the F-35B short takeoff and vertical landing propulsion system using the revolutionary shaft-driven LiftFan® system. However, due to X- 35 schedule constraints and technical risks, the incorporation of some technologies was deferred to the SDD program. This paper provides insight into several of the key air vehicle and propulsion systems technologies selected for incorporation into the F-35. It describes the transition from several highly successful technology development projects to their incorporation into the production aircraft. I. Introduction HE F-35 Lightning II is a true 5th Generation trivariant, multiservice air system. It provides outstanding fighter T class aerodynamic performance, supersonic speed, all-aspect stealth with weapons, and highly integrated and networked avionics. The F-35 aircraft

  • Modeling and Analysis of Disc Rotor Wing
    © 2020 JETIR March 2020, Volume 7, Issue 3 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) MODELING AND ANALYSIS OF DISC ROTOR WING 1 2 3 G. MANJULA , L. BALASUBRAMANYAM , S. JITHENDRA NAIK 1PG scholor, 2Asso.Professor, 3Asso.Professor Mechanical Engineering Department 1P.V.K.K Engineering College, Anantapur, AP, INDIA. Abstract-Disc rotor configuration may be a conceptual design. the aim of the Project is to guage the merits of the DiscRotor concept that combine the features of a retractable rotor system for vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) with an integral, circular wing for high-speed flight. The primary objective of this project is to style such a configuration using the planning software Unigraphics and afterward analyzing the designed structure for its structural strength in analysis software ANSYS. This project deals with the all the required aerodynamic requirements of the rotor configuration. In today’s world most the vtol/stol largely depends upon the thrust vectoring that needs huge amounts of fuel and separate devices like nozzles etc., whose production is extremely much tedious and dear. this is often an effort to use a rotor as within the case of helicopters for vtol/stol thus reducing the foremost of the value though weight would be considered as a hindrance to the project. Keywords: Disc rotor wing, vertical take-off and landing (VTOL), UNIGRAPHICS, ANSYS software, Force, Coefficients, Wall and Wing. I. INTRODUCTION A circular wing, or disc, is that the primary lifting surface of the Disc Rotor aircraft during high-speed flight (approx. 400knots). During the high-speed flight, the disc are going to be fixed (i.e.

  • A Conceptual Design of a Short Takeoff and Landing Regional Jet Airliner
    A Conceptual Design of a Short Takeoff and Landing Regional Jet Airliner Andrew S. Hahn 1 NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, VA, 23681 Most jet airliner conceptual designs adhere to conventional takeoff and landing performance. Given this predominance, takeoff and landing performance has not been critical, since it has not been an active constraint in the design. Given that the demand for air travel is projected to increase dramatically, there is interest in operational concepts, such as Metroplex operations that seek to unload the major hub airports by using underutilized surrounding regional airports, as well as using underutilized runways at the major hub airports. Both of these operations require shorter takeoff and landing performance than is currently available for airliners of approximately 100-passenger capacity. This study examines the issues of modeling performance in this now critical flight regime as well as the impact of progressively reducing takeoff and landing field length requirements on the aircraft’s characteristics. Nomenclature CTOL = conventional takeoff and landing FAA = Federal Aviation Administration FAR = Federal Aviation Regulation RJ = regional jet STOL = short takeoff and landing UCD = three-dimensional Weissinger lifting line aerodynamics program I. Introduction EMAND for air travel over the next fifty to D seventy-five years has been projected to be as high as three times that of today. Given that the major airport hubs are already congested, and that the ability to increase capacity at these airports by building more full- size runways is limited, unconventional solutions are being considered to accommodate the projected increased demand. Two possible solutions being considered are: Metroplex operations, and using existing underutilized runways at the major hub airports.

  • Development and Use of CTOL Aircraft Carriers in the Soviet Union and Russian Federation, 1945-Present
    Beyond Submarines: Development and Use of CTOL Aircraft Carriers in the Soviet Union and Russian Federation, 1945-present THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Sara Anne Garrett Graduate Program in Slavic and East European Studies The Ohio State University 2011 Master's Examination Committee: John Francis Guilmartin, Advisor Peter Mansoor Copyright by Sara Anne Garrett 2011 Abstract Russian and Soviet thinking on the construction and use of aircraft carriers evolved from initial opposition to acceptance of the concept of aircraft-capable ships. However, the Russian Navy currently possesses only one CTOL-capable aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov. This thesis examines the influence of social, political, and economic factors on the Soviet and Russian approach to carrier-based aviation and then considers the Moskva, Kiev, and Kuznetsov classes of carriers. The technical and personnel issues affecting the Kuznetsov‟s operation in the post-Soviet period provide a framework for evaluating the future of proposed carrier programs for the Russian Navy. In light of Russian ambitions on the world stage, public statements by naval leadership, and a marked increase in Navy spending on new ships, a continuation of Russia‟s carrier ambitions seems likely. ii Dedication This thesis is dedicated to my parents, for encouraging me to follow my interests and to stay the course. iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank the staff of the library at the Naval War College for permitting me to avail myself of their collection. This thesis would not exist without the War College‟s materials.

This paper focuses on the Dual Tilt-wing UAV, a vehicle capable of performing both flight modes (VTOL and CTOL). The UAV complete dynamic model is obtained using the Newton–Euler formulation, which includes aerodynamic effects, as the drag and lift forces of the wings, which are a function of airstream generated by the rotors, the cruise speed, tilt-wing angle and angle of attack. The airstream velocity generated by the rotors is studied in a test bench. The projected area on the UAV wing that is affected by the airstream generated by the rotors is specified and 3D aerodynamic analysis is performed for this region.
