  • The Historical Fuel Efficiency Characteristics of Regional Aircraft from Technological, Operational, and Cost Perspectives
    The Historical Fuel Efficiency Characteristics of Regional Aircraft from Technological, Operational, and Cost Perspectives Raffi Babikian, Stephen P. Lukachko and Ian A. Waitz* Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Massachusetts Institute of Technology 77 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge, MA 02139 ABSTRACT To develop approaches that effectively reduce aircraft emissions, it is necessary to understand the mechanisms that have enabled historical improvements in aircraft efficiency. This paper focuses on the impact of regional aircraft on the U.S. aviation system and examines the technological, operational and cost characteristics of turboprop and regional jet aircraft. Regional aircraft are 40% to 60% less fuel efficient than their larger narrow- and wide-body counterparts, while regional jets are 10% to 60% less fuel efficient than turboprops. Fuel efficiency differences can be explained largely by differences in aircraft operations, not technology. Direct operating costs per revenue passenger kilometer are 2.5 to 6 times higher for regional aircraft because they operate at lower load factors and perform fewer miles over which to spread fixed costs. Further, despite incurring higher fuel costs, regional jets are shown to have operating costs similar to turboprops when flown over comparable stage lengths. Keywords: Regional aircraft, environment, regional jet, turboprop 1. INTRODUCTION The rapid growth of worldwide air travel has prompted concern about the influence of aviation activities on the environment. Demand for air travel has grown at an average rate of 9.0% per year since 1960 and at approximately 4.5% per year over the last decade (IPCC, 1999; FAA, 2000a). Barring any serious economic downturn or significant policy changes, various * Contact author: 617-253-0218 (phone), 617-258-6093 (fax), [email protected] (email) 1 organizations have estimated future worldwide growth will average 5% annually through at least 2015 (IPCC, 1999; Boeing, 2000; Airbus, 2000).

  • 2. Afterburners
    2. AFTERBURNERS 2.1 Introduction The simple gas turbine cycle can be designed to have good performance characteristics at a particular operating or design point. However, a particu­ lar engine does not have the capability of producing a good performance for large ranges of thrust, an inflexibility that can lead to problems when the flight program for a particular vehicle is considered. For example, many airplanes require a larger thrust during takeoff and acceleration than they do at a cruise condition. Thus, if the engine is sized for takeoff and has its design point at this condition, the engine will be too large at cruise. The vehicle performance will be penalized at cruise for the poor off-design point operation of the engine components and for the larger weight of the engine. Similar problems arise when supersonic cruise vehicles are considered. The afterburning gas turbine cycle was an early attempt to avoid some of these problems. Afterburners or augmentation devices were first added to aircraft gas turbine engines to increase their thrust during takeoff or brief periods of acceleration and supersonic flight. The devices make use of the fact that, in a gas turbine engine, the maximum gas temperature at the turbine inlet is limited by structural considerations to values less than half the adiabatic flame temperature at the stoichiometric fuel-air ratio. As a result, the gas leaving the turbine contains most of its original concentration of oxygen. This oxygen can be burned with additional fuel in a secondary combustion chamber located downstream of the turbine where temperature constraints are relaxed.

  • JET: Jet, a Form of Lignite Coal, Is Classified As a Mineraloid
    JET: Jet, a form of lignite coal, is classified as a mineraloid. It is jet-black in color, very light in weight, takes a fine polish, and is easily worked into beads and ornamental objects. JET HISTORY, NAME, LOCALITIES: Jet has served as a gemstone since prehistory. Its name comes from jaiet, the French word for the same material. Collecting localities are found in Austria, Poland, England, Canada, Spain, Russia, and the United States (Maryland, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico). MINERALOGY, PROPERTIES, OCCURRENCE: Jet, pronounced as it is spelled, is classified as mineraloid and has neither a definite chemical composition nor a crystal structure. It has a Mohs hardness of 2.0-2.5, no cleavage, a conchoidal fracture, and a very low specific gravity of 1.1-1.3. It is jet-black in color with occasional dark-brown streaks and has a vitreous luster on freshly broken surfaces. Jet has an organic origin, consists primarily of carbon, and is a form of lignite coal that originated as ancient trees that grew in fresh-water swamps, then floated down rivers to sink in seas and become buried and compacted in a salt-water environment. It occurs as lenses in a hard shale known as “jet-rock.” METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES, LORE, USES: Jet jewelry was popular during the Roman period when it was thought to deflect the gaze of the “evil eye.” It again gained great popularity as gemstone in mourning jewelry during the Victorian Era. Easily carved and polished, jet is used to fashion rosary beads and ornamental objects. Metaphysical practitioners believe that jet removes negative thoughts and energies, protects against illness and violence, produces calmness and serenity, and reduces feelings of depression.

  • The Austro-Hungarian Hangars in Mostar - Part II
    ISSN 2232-9080 e-Zbornik 19/2020. Received: 06.02.2020. Accepted: 07.05.2020. Electronic collection of papers of the Faculty of Civil Engineering Preliminary communication The Austro-Hungarian hangars in Mostar - Part II Gottfried Holzschuh Art, construction and aviation historian, archaeologist, Vienna, Ph.D. Curator (ret.) of the Esterházy Collections, Eisenstadt, [email protected] Abstract: The first part of the survey covers the history of the Austro-Hungarian "Air Base", "Aviation Park no. 4" and "Reserve Squadron 11", which were stationed in Mostar between 1913 and 1918. The airfield of Mostar-Rodoč, evaluated as early as in 1912, was one of the oldest in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. The Imperial and Royal Army Air Service used it for basic pilot training in World War I. The second part is an expertise for the salvage, conservation and restoration of the four still existing Austro-Hungarian hangars at the former Mostar-Rodoč airfield in view of protection of historical monuments. Erected in 1917/18, these hangars are the oldest witnesses of aviation in Bosnia and Hercegovina. Because of their genuine and very efficient construction, they should be preserved as unique examples of technical and engineering architecture. One hangar of exactly the same type, restored in 2013 in Krakow, is now part of Poland's cultural heritage. Structural calculations have shown that these Austro-Hungarian hangars comply with modern EU building regulations. All used documents and plans from the Austrian State Archives/War Archives (ÖStA/KA) in Vienna are still unpublished. The paper is therefore the first scientific analysis of Austro-Hungarian aviation and its architecture in Bosnia and Hercegovina.
