Biographical / Historical General Dynamics Corporation (GD) is an American aerospace and defense company established through a series of acquisitions and mergers, forming in 1952 through the combination of the Electric Boat Company, Consolidated-Vultee (Convair) and many others. Convair itself was established in San Diego by Reuben H. Fleet was an American aviation pioneer, industrialist and army officer as well as founder of Consolidated Aircraft Co. in 1923. In 1936, he moved from Buffalo, NY, to San Diego, CA, where Convair was formed in 1943 by the merger of Vultee Aircraft and Consolidated Aircraft, after which the name Consolidated-Vultee shortened to Convair. Headquartered in San Diego, the company produced a number of pioneering aircraft. In 1952 Convair was acquired by GD, but eventually the Convair Division of General Dynamics terminated its aerospace manufacturing operation in San Diego in December 1995. The Division’s Lindberg Field plant and Harbor Drive Test Facility were on land leased from the San Diego Unified Port District. GD arranged with the Port District to surrender its leaseholds in phases. This process began in 1995 and continued through 1997. Altogether thirty-five buildings on 92.8 acres were demolished.

  • Materials for Liquid Propulsion Systems
    https://ntrs.nasa.gov/search.jsp?R=20160008869 2019-08-29T17:47:59+00:00Z CHAPTER 12 Materials for Liquid Propulsion Systems John A. Halchak Consultant, Los Angeles, California James L. Cannon NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama Corey Brown Aerojet-Rocketdyne, West Palm Beach, Florida 12.1 Introduction Earth to orbit launch vehicles are propelled by rocket engines and motors, both liquid and solid. This chapter will discuss liquid engines. The heart of a launch vehicle is its engine. The remainder of the vehicle (with the notable exceptions of the payload and guidance system) is an aero structure to support the propellant tanks which provide the fuel and oxidizer to feed the engine or engines. The basic principle behind a rocket engine is straightforward. The engine is a means to convert potential thermochemical energy of one or more propellants into exhaust jet kinetic energy. Fuel and oxidizer are burned in a combustion chamber where they create hot gases under high pressure. These hot gases are allowed to expand through a nozzle. The molecules of hot gas are first constricted by the throat of the nozzle (de-Laval nozzle) which forces them to accelerate; then as the nozzle flares outwards, they expand and further accelerate. It is the mass of the combustion gases times their velocity, reacting against the walls of the combustion chamber and nozzle, which produce thrust according to Newton’s third law: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. [1] Solid rocket motors are cheaper to manufacture and offer good values for their cost.

    Appendix C – Key Studies on Aircraft Deviation ACRP 4-09 - Risk Assessment Method to Support Modification of Airfield Separation Standards The following table summarizes some of the most relevant studies addressing lateral aircraft deviations during runway, taxiway and taxilane operations. The models developed by Scholz (2003a and 2003b) were used in the approach to analyze taxiway and taxilane separations. Table C-1. Relevant studies on aircraft lateral deviation in airfields Title Year/Author Description Evaluation of Brown & This study was conducted with test sections for B-47 Existing Thompson, 1973 (Stratojet), B-52, KC-87, and KC-135 aircraft.

Wander was defined as “the maximum lateral movement of a point on the centerline of an aircraft about the centerline (or guideline) on taxiways or runways during operation of the aircraft.” The lateral deviations for those aircraft from the taxiway and runway centerlines can be considered as approximately 3.2 ft and 33.7 ft, respectively, during 75 percent of the time.
