Jiménez-Espadafor Aguilar El tribunal nombrado para juzgar el trabajo arriba indicado, compuesto por los siguientes profesores: Presidente: Vocal/es: Secretario: acuerdan otorgarle la calificación de: El Secretario del Tribunal Fecha: Agradecimientos Los proyectos finales de carrera encierran muchas historias de constancia y superación a lo largo del tiempo. Con este proyecto, pongo fin a una etapa muy importante de mi vida. Escribir estas palabras supone una gran satisfacción por la meta alcanzada y una gran alegría, pues supone el inicio de la etapa como ingeniero, en la que aplicar todo lo aprendido a lo largo de la carrera. Este proyecto me ha hecho profundizar considerablemente en el campo de los motores aeronáuticos y las herramientas para su modelado matemático. Ha sido muy enriquecedor para mí y seguro que los conocimientos aquí adquiridos, me serán de gran utilidad. Este logro no es sólo personal, pues sin la ayuda y el acompañamiento de muchas personas no podría haberlo conseguido. Me siento muy agradecido a todos ellos y ellas, familia, amigos/as, profesores/as y compañeros/as, gracias a su apoyo nunca me he sentido sólo en esta larga travesía. En particular, quiero agradecer a mi tutor, Francisco, por las horas en su despacho. Agradecer al equipo IANair por el magnífico trabajo que realizaron en la asignatura de cálculo de aviones. El gran resultado que obtuvimos me ha permitido tomar de modelo el avión turbohélice, AIAN-1314, que diseñamos. Aunque lo normal es agradecer a las personas, quisiera agradecer a mi deporte, el waterpolo, mi gran afición, que me acompaña desde niño, todo lo que he aprendido practicándolo, los duros entrenamientos diarios me han ayudado a ganar en constancia y capacidad de esfuerzo. Un profesor me dijo que si quería terminar esta carrera debería dejar la competición. A día de hoy puedo decirle que tenía razón en que me dificultaría el viaje, pero no la tenía, al decir que sería imposible. También, mencionar una trascendental etapa, es en 2014 que me implico en política para ayudar a hacer de España un mejor país, esto supuso un freno en los estudios pero que ha sido muy constructivo en lo personal. Agradecer a toda la gente lo compartido en esa etapa. Y finalmente agradecer especialmente a mi familia, el apoyo incondicional que siempre he recibido. Mi madre, María Luisa, y su marido, Antonio, son los grandes pilares de la persona que hoy soy. Gracias a ellos he ido superando todas las etapas de estudios hasta llegar aquí. Agradecer a mi padre, Antonio, y a su esposa, Arantza, por su apoyo desde Barcelona. No podría imaginarme una juventud, sin mis hermanos, Patricio, Zahara y Elena, con quienes merendar o bajar a beber agua era la excusa para montar en el salón de casa un recreo y estar un rato charlando, dejando descansar los apuntes, los libros y los deberes en la mesa de cada uno. Por último, dar las gracias a mi mejor amiga, mi compañera, mi gran apoyo, mi esposa, Marta. Llegaste a mi vida al final de esta aventura, en la dura etapa que son los finales. Cuando me has visto flaquear has estado para animarme y apoyarme, siempre. Ahora, a seguir nuestra historia y a disfrutar de lo que nos depare el futuro. Resumen El incremento del precio de los combustibles entre 2007 y 2008 ha aumentado considerablemente la demanda de aviones con motores de tipo turbohélice. Además, se están desarrollando las conexiones aéreas en trayectos cortos en todo el mundo. Cada día hay más rutas idóneas para este tipo de avión, con una alta demanda de pasajeros. Se necesitan más número de este tipo de aviones y también una mayor capacidad de transporte de pasajeros por vuelo. Los aviones con motores turbohélices son especialmente eficientes y económicos cuando se utilizan para el transporte de pasajeros en vuelos de corta duración, es por ello que actualmente están siendo objeto de estudio, desarrollo e inversión en las grandes empresas aeronáuticas, motivando proyectos de final de carrera como este. Este proyecto pretende recoger el desarrollo de un modelo matemático que sirva para análisis de mejoras y evoluciones en un motor turbohélices de 3 ejes. Este paso es muy importante en el mundo de la ingeniería y más en particular en el sector aeronáutico, ya que reduce considerablemente los costes de diseño, permitiendo conocer el comportamiento del modelo y sus prestaciones antes de pasar a la construcción física del motor. En la memoria se recogerán los resultados obtenidos del modelo y el análisis de las prestaciones para diferentes aplicaciones del motor. Este documento recoge, además, las dificultades encontradas por el alumno en el desarrollo del proyecto y se pretende explicar las soluciones encontradas. Para el modelo matemático se utilizará como soporte el software Matlab y como referencia de los resultados obtenidos se utilizará el software Gasturb. Una vez se consiga una validación satisfactoria de los resultados obtenidos en Matlab comparándolos con los obtenidos en Gasturb, se realizará un análisis de consumo del motor. En primer lugar, se compararán el consumo de un motor variando sus puntos de operación. En segundo lugar, se comparará el efecto de la temperatura ambiente en las prestaciones del motor según sea la temperatura de -5ºC, 15ºC y 45ºC y la altura para un despegue en México. Abstract The rise in fuel prices between 2007 and 2008 has considerably increased the demand for airplanes with turbo-propeller engines. In addition, short-haul air connections are being developed around the world. Every day there are more routes suitable for this type of aircraft, with a high demand for passengers. More numbers of this type of aircraft and also a greater capacity of air transport of passengers are needed. Airplanes with turboprop engines are specially efficient and economical when used for the transport of passengers on short flights, which is the reason why they are currently under study, development and investment in large aeronautical companies, motivating end of career projects like this. This project aims to collect the development of a mathematical model that can be used for analysis of improvements and evolutions in a 3-axis turboprop engine. This step is very important in the world of engineering and more particularly in the aeronautical sector, as it considerably reduces design costs, allowing to know the behaviour of the model and its performance before starting with the physical construction of the engine. In the memory the results obtained from the model and the performance analysis for different engine applications will be collected. This document also includes the difficulties encountered by the student in the development of the project as well as explanations of the solutions found. Matlab software will be used as support for the mathematical model and the Gasturb software will be used as a reference for the results obtained. Once a satisfactory validation of the results obtained in Matlab is obtained, comparing them with those obtained in Gasturb, an analysis of motor consumption will be carried out. In the first place, the consumption of an engine will be compared by varying its operating points. Secondly, the effect of ambient temperature on the performance of the engine will be compared according to a temperature of -5°C, 15°C, and 45°C and the height for a takeoff in Mexico.

  • Safran's Philippe Petitcolin. Safran Is Easily Europe Rsquo
    50SKYSHADESImage not found or type unknown- aviation news SAFRAN'S PHILIPPE PETITCOLIN News / Personalities Image not found or type unknown © 2015-2021 50SKYSHADES.COM — Reproduction, copying, or redistribution for commercial purposes is prohibited. 1 Safran is easily Europe’s most diversified aerospace company, with a range of businesses covering airliner, helicopter and space rocket engines to security detection systems, and landing gear to unmanned air vehicles. However a year into the top job, chief executive Philippe Petitcolin is keen to slim down the partially state-owned group’s sprawling portfolio, divesting non-core subsidiaries in security, and using the proceeds – as well as revenues from Safran’s stake in the booming CFM International – to invest in enterprises in aerospace equipment that “fit our DNA”. At the same time – a decade after Safran came into existence with the merger of French household names Snecma and Sagem – he wants to create a group identity by rebranding its many operating companies. This will see some of the biggest names in aerospace, such as Snecma, Turbomeca, Labinal and Messier-Bugatti-Dowty, begin to disappear later this year. “We are 10 years old as a company and it is time to act and think as one Safran,” says Petitcolin, a 28- year veteran of the group, who previously ran engine maker Snecma and wiring specialist Labinal. Relentless demand for commercial aircraft means Safran’s aerospace propulsion business continues to dominate its revenues. Safran and General Electric each own 50% of 40-year-old joint venture CFM International, whose CFM56 has a roughly three-quarter share of the narrowbody market, powering Boeing 737s and its 737 Max successor, and about half of all Airbus A320 and A320neo family jets.

Can EREL Flight Engineer [email protected] This article contains the personal reviews and evaluations relating to participated activity, production and program about A400M by Can Erel who participated as an expert invited to the activity of “Commercial Press Briefing 2013” organized by Airbus Military company which is the manufacturer of A400M transport aircraft that Turkey is also located within the program group members with partner status. Its beginning is based on my university years and as an engine project engineer, I worked on Tyne- Mk-22 engine platform C-160 Transall and T56 engine platform C-130 Hercules aircraft duration at the inventory of Turkish Air Force and A400M project with development that effects the shape, was one of the project I have followed; I have always wondered the application centers and details… Project Development of A400M Transport Aircraft In place of the C-130 Hercules and C-160 Transall aircrafts that are in use, in 1982 a work group called “Future International Military Airlifter, FIMA” is established by Aérospatiale, British Aerospace (BAe), Lockheed and Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB) companies. Alenia (now called Alenia Aermacchi) and CASA companies are included to the FIMA group in 1987 and work group is renamed as FLAEG (Future Large Aircraft Exploratory Group). Workgroup development was impaired due to differences between the requirements of partners and the effect of international policy, therefore Lockheed company has left the workgroup in 1989 and initiated a product development program that it will develop its current aircraft called C-130J Super Hercules.

Received: 18 June 2020; Accepted: 7 August 2020; Published: 11 August 2020 Abstract: The race for speed ruled the early Jet Age on aviation. Aircraft manufacturers chased faster and faster planes in a fight for pride and capability. In the early 1970s, dreams were that the future would be supersonic, but fuel economy and unacceptable noise levels made that era never happen. After the 1973 oil crisis, the paradigm changed. The average cruise speed on newly developed aircraft started to decrease in exchange for improvements in many other performance parameters. At the same pace, the airliner’s power-plants are evolving to look more like a ducted turboprop, and less like a pure jet engine as the pursuit for the higher bypass ratios continues. However, since the birth of jet aircraft, the propeller-driven plane has lost its dominant place, associated with the idea that going back to propeller-driven airplanes, and what it represents in terms of modernity and security, has started a propeller avoidance phenomenon with travelers and thus with airlines. Today, even with the modest research effort since the 1980s, advanced propellers are getting efficiencies closer to jet-powered engines at their contemporary typical cruise speeds.
