The NATO Science and Technology Organization Science & Technology (S&T) in the NATO context is defined as the selective and rigorous generation and application of state-of-the-art, validated knowledge for defence and security purposes. S&T activities embrace scientific research, technology development, transition, application and field-testing, experimentation and a range of related scientific activities that include systems engineering, operational research and analysis, synthesis, integration and validation of knowledge derived through the scientific method. In NATO, S&T is addressed using different business models, namely a collaborative business model where NATO provides a forum where NATO Nations and partner Nations elect to use their national resources to define, conduct and promote cooperative research and information exchange, and secondly an in-house delivery business model where S&T activities are conducted in a NATO dedicated executive body, having its own personnel, capabilities and infrastructure. The mission of the NATO Science & Technology Organization (STO) is to help position the Nations’ and NATO’s S&T investments as a strategic enabler of the knowledge and technology advantage for the defence and security posture of NATO Nations and partner Nations, by conducting and promoting S&T activities that augment and leverage the capabilities and programmes of the Alliance, of the NATO Nations and the partner Nations, in support of NATO’s objectives, and contributing to NATO’s ability to enable and influence security and defence related capability development and threat mitigation in NATO Nations and partner Nations, in accordance with NATO policies. The total spectrum of this collaborative effort is addressed by six Technical Panels who manage a wide range of scientific research activities, a Group specialising in modelling and simulation, plus a Committee dedicated to supporting the information management needs of the organization. • AVT Applied Vehicle Technology Panel • HFM Human Factors and Medicine Panel • IST Information Systems Technology Panel • NMSG NATO Modelling and Simulation Group • SAS System Analysis and Studies Panel • SCI Systems Concepts and Integration Panel • SET Sensors and Electronics Technology Panel These Panels and Group are the power-house of the collaborative model and are made up of national representatives as well as recognised world-class scientists, engineers and information specialists. In addition to providing critical technical oversight, they also provide a communication link to military users and other NATO bodies. The scientific and technological work is carried out by Technical Teams, created under one or more of these eight bodies, for specific research activities which have a defined duration. These research activities can take a variety of forms, including Task Groups, Workshops, Symposia, Specialists’ Meetings, Lecture Series and Technical Courses The content of this publication has been reproduced directly from material supplied by STO or the authors.

  • Effectiveness of the Compound Helicopter Configuration in Rotorcraft Performance Increase
    transactions on aerospace research 4(261) 2020, pp.81-106 DOI: 10.2478/tar-2020-0023 eISSN 2545-2835 effectiveness of the compound helicopter configuration in rotorcraft performance increase Jarosław stanisławski Retired doctor of technical sciences [email protected] • ORCID: 0000-0003-1629-4632 abstract The article presents the results of calculations applied to compare flight envelopes of varying helicopter configurations. Performance of conventional helicopter with the main and tail rotors, in the case of compound helicopter, can be improved by applying wings and pusher propellers which generate an additional lift and horizontal thrust. The simplified model of a helicopter structure, consisting of a stiff fuselage and the main rotor treated as a stiff disk, is applied for evaluation of the rotorcraft performance and the required range of control system deflections. The more detailed model of deformable main rotor blades, applying the Galerkin method, is used to calculate rotor loads and blade deformations in defined flight states. The calculations of simulated flight states are performed considering data of a hypothetical medium class helicopter with the take-off mass of 6,000kg. In the case of both of the helicopter configurations, the articulated main rotor hub is taken under consideration. According to the Galerkin method, the elastic blade model allows to compute blade deformations as a combination of the blade bending and torsional eigen modes. Introduction of additional wing and pusher propellers allows to increase the range of operational speed over 300 km/h. Results of the simulation are presented as time- runs of rotor loads and blade deformations and in a form of disk distribution plots of rotor parameters.

Brentner Professor of Aerospace Engineering Thesis Advisor Jacob W. Langelaan Associate Professor of Aerospace Engineering George A. Lesieutre Professor of Aerospace Engineering Head of the Department of Aerospace Engineering ∗Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. Abstract The desire for a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft capable of high forward flight speeds is very strong. Compound lift-offset coaxial helicopter designs have been proposed and have demonstrated the ability to fulfill this desire. However, with high forward speeds, noise is an important concern that has yet to be thoroughly addressed with this rotorcraft configuration. This work utilizes a coupling between the Rotorcraft Comprehensive Analysis System (RCAS) and PSU-WOPWOP, to computationally explore the acoustics of a lift-offset coaxial rotor sys- tem. Specifically, unique characteristics of lift-offset coaxial rotor system noise are identified, and design features and trim settings specific to a compound lift-offset coaxial helicopter are considered for noise reduction. At some observer locations, there is constructive interference of the coaxial acoustic pressure pulses, such that the two signals add completely. The locations of these constructive interferences can be altered by modifying the upper-lower rotor blade phasing, providing an overall acoustic benefit.

  • Quality of Inter-Hospital Transportation in 431 Transport Survivor Patients
    Blecha et al. Ann. Intensive Care (2018) 8:5 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13613-018-0357-y RESEARCH Open Access Quality of inter‑hospital transportation in 431 transport survivor patients sufering from acute respiratory distress syndrome referred to specialist centers Sebastian Blecha1* , Frank Dodoo‑Schittko2, Susanne Brandstetter2, Magdalena Brandl2, Michael Dittmar1, Bernhard M. Graf1, Christian Karagiannidis3, Christian Apfelbacher2, Thomas Bein1 and For the DACAPO Study Group Abstract Background: The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening condition. In special situations, these critically ill patients must be transferred to specialized centers for escalating treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of inter-hospital transport (IHT) of ARDS patients. Methods: We evaluated medical and organizational aspects of structural and procedural quality relating to IHT of patients with ARDS in a prospective nationwide ARDS study. The qualifcation of emergency staf, the organizational aspects and the occurrence of critical events during transport were analyzed. Results: Out of 1234 ARDS patients, 431 (34.9%) were transported, and 52 of these (12.1%) treated with extracorpor‑ eal membrane oxygenation. 63.1% of transferred patients were male, median age was 54 years, and 26.8% of patients were obese. All patients were mechanically ventilated during IHT. Pressure-controlled ventilation was the preferred mode (92.1%). Median duration to organize the IHT was 165 min. Median distance for IHT was 58 km, and median duration of IHT 60 min. Forty-two patient-related and 8 technology-related critical events (11.6%, 50 of 431 patients) were observed. When a critical event occurred, the ­PaO2/FiO2 ratio before transport was signifcant lower (68 vs.
