Continuous Moldline Technology Researchers are developing the application of a highly flexible structure to enable adaptation of aircraft geometry to different flight conditions and mission requirements for future morphing aircraft. AFRL's Air Vehicles Directorate, Structures Division and Aeronautical Sciences Division, Wright-Patterson AFB OH Adaptive structures technology development is currently of high interest in aeronautics, evidenced by many activities at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and AFRL. Recent technology developments in compact actuators are providing a foundation for future adaptive structures applications. Some advanced materials enable an integral structure and actuation mechanism. The development of highly flexible structures, such as CMT, is also enabling to future adaptive structures applications. As shown in Figure 1, CMT consists of an elastomeric matrix, reinforced with stiffening rods that are able to slide within the matrix to achieve very high deformation. Researchers demonstrated CMT structures to 30% elongation and compression as well as very large bending and twisting deformation. While the wind tunnel testing verified some of the aerodynamic and control benefits associated with this application, transition of this technology would ultimately require the demonstration of CMT structure at the highest dynamic pressures and Mach numbers associated with a typical fighter aircraft flight environment. The team performed an analysis of test environments, cost, and data collection possibilities and identified the NASA F-15B Flight Test Fixture (FTF) as the best test bed for continuing the development of CMT.

62. Swing-wing - Slider The term variablegeometry is often used synonymously with swing-wing, meanwhile, adopted variable geometry for the Multi-Role Combat aircraft (MRCA) http://enc.slider.com/Enc/Variable_geometry_wing

Advanced Help Encyclopedia Directory Encyclopaedia V Va Vaa ... Vaz Swing-wing (Redirected from Variable geometry wing A swing-wing is a type of pivoted wing planform that attempts to combine the advantages of a swept wing at high speeds, while avoiding its problems at lower speeds. The design is successful in this respect, but the added mass and complexity are currently believed to outweigh the advantages. The term variable-geometry is often used synonymously with swing-wing, though strictly speaking swing-wing is a specific type of variable geometry. F-14 Tomcat with wings unswept F-14 Tomcat with wings swept Swing-wing aircraft developed from earlier experimental aircraft that were built to study the effects of a swept wing. The first of these was the Messerschmitt P.1101 which allowed its sweep angle to be changed on the ground. A number of test flights were carried out at various angles to try to examine the tradeoffs. At the end of World War II the P.1101 was taken to the United States for further study at Bell Aircraft , where further versions were built that could vary their angle in flight. One problem that was discovered while testing the Bell X-5 was that as the wing was pivoted rearward, the center of lift also moved to the rear, pushing the nose down. Some sort of system needs to be added to overcome this effect.

RAGE Rapid Geometry Modeler (Java available for most platforms) RAGE allows for the generation of a variety of computational aerodynamic models from a central parameterized geometry definition. Designers can quickly and easily develop aircraft geometries that range from very simple to quite detailed for analysis with an assortment of computational aerodynamics tools. This allows the designer to avoid CADD-based preliminary design, which is often a bottleneck in efficiency. The designer can make minor and even major changes to the aircraft design very efficiently. Once a candidate design has been developed, the geometry can be output into a format most CADD systems can read for the next stage in the design process. Currently RAGE can generate aerodynamic models for the high-order panel code A502 and the Euler CART3D package (PLOT3D format). Development is ongoing for generating models for LinAir, overset Navier-Stokes analyses (such as OVERFLOW), and unstructured analyses (such as USM3D and FUN3D). Many different kinds of aircraft can be modeled with RAGE. Thus far several different aircraft configurations have been modeled including supersonic business jets, oblique flying wings, a modern sailplane, and a light sport general aviation airplane. Extensive nacelle and inlet integration and design (on supersonic business jets) has also been accomplished with RAGE. Many other geometries are possible including general aviation aircraft, conventional commercial transports, rockets, missiles, and similar designs. RAGE can also be customized to handle more specialized geometries by Desktop Aeronautics or directly by the user.

Culture Geography History Life ... WorldVillage Fixed-wing aircraft From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (Redirected from Airplane Fixed-wing aircraft is a term used to refer to what are more commonly known as aeroplanes in Commonwealth English (excluding Canada) or airplanes in North American English Fixed-wing aircraft include monoplanes biplanes and triplanes ; in fact all conventional aircraft that are neither balloons airships autogyros helicopters or tiltrotors are fixed-wing aircraft. An American Airlines fixed-wing aircraft The term embraces a minority of aircraft that have folding wings, intended to fold when on the ground, perhaps to ease stowage or facilitate transport on, for example, a vehicle trailer or the powered lift connecting the hangar deck of an aircraft carrier to its flight deck. It also embraces an even smaller number of aircraft, such as the General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark Grumman F-14 Tomcat and the Panavia Tornado , which can vary the sweep angle of their wings during flight. In the early days of their development, these were termed "variable geometry" aircraft. When the wings of these aircraft are fully swept, usually for high speed cruise, the trailing edges of their wings abut the leading edges of their tailplanes, giving an impression of a single delta wing if viewed from above or below. There are also rare examples of aircraft which can vary the

AIRPORTS - Airport Geometry An airport provides takeoff, landing, and parking for aircraft. It also allows interchange between air transport service and other modes. Current commercial and private aircraft can remain airborne for relatively short periods of time. Only orbiting spacecraft overcome this limitation. Lighter than airships can remain in the air for long periods, but at present they are not important transport vehicles. The characteristics of the aircraft and traffic dictate the requirements. Airports began their evolution with the early flights by the Wright brothers. Early airports catered mostly to the small airplanes of the time. They required a relativly flat even surface so that straightline takeoffs and landings could take advantage of the wind conditions present when a landing or takeoff was attempted. High traffic airorts usually serve large metropolitan areas. Ideal airline service is nonstop direct from origin to destination airports. This usually means that ideally there are a range of traffic loads and trip lengths that vary from the smallest to the largest practical aircraft capacities and flight distances. Many studies have shown that air travel cannot compete with surface modes when the surface time is about two hours or less. For even three or four hour surface trips air travel may not be competitive. With current aircraft and ground transport speeds the critical unencumbered distance is between 300 and 400 km.

Weight, Geometry, Lift, Drag and Thrust Properties. 1. Weight. The weight (W) of the aircraft and its aerodynamic properties are the primary factors determining its flight performance. The weight of the aircraft can be broken down into fundamental components: the empty weight of the vehicle; the weight of the pilot, passengers and payload; the weight of the fuel. There will be limiting weight values due to the aircraft design and flight regulations: maximum weight of payload; maximum fuel load or fuel tank capacity; maximum take-off weight (MTOW); maximum landing weight. It is not simply a matter of adding the components together to obtain a final answer for the aircraft weight. For example it may be necessary to remove fuel weight so that additional payload may be carried while still maintaining the requirement of a maximum take-off weight. For stability and hence flight safety considerations an accurate "weight and balance" calculation should be performed prior to the flight of the aircraft. In flight the aircraft weight will change as fuel is burnt by the propulsion system or possibly dumped in an emergency situation.

From Geometry Generator to Numerical Simulation and Windtunnel tests The Geometry Generator is designed especially for aircraft definition. A Series of different generators from this series support several aircraft speeds and configuration types. CurrentWork: Visual Parametrical Geometry Design Screenshots of out Java Geometry Design Tool For a detailed description take a look at my paper from the AIAA 99 conference in Reno. Alternative Geometry Definition The geometry definition is different from conventional CAD systems. First some 2 dimensional key curves are specified. The curves are compositions of different basic curves like arcs, quintics, splines etc. The keys specify characteristic lines such as the crownlines or planform of an airplane. Special functions calculate the 3 dimensional model from the 2 dimensional curves. The functions are specialized to the different configuration types such as low speed, transonic or supersonic transport. Special algorithms can be used for smooth connections between wings and bodies. We destinguish between wing-type and body-type parts. Proven airfoil sections from catalogs or which have already been tested, can be used for wing definition. The body cross sections are for example given by superelliptical functions, box type shapes or refined cross sections derived by special flow modelling calculations.

Times and distances shown are based on "head on" closure speeds. Assuming 12 seconds to perceive another aircraft and then avoid it, the chart shows that recognition under 3 miles will normally result in a collision. 2. Reaction Time: The time to perceive and recognize an aircraft, become aware of a collision potential, and decide appropriate action, may vary from as little as 2 or 3 seconds to 10 seconds or more, depending on the human, type of aircraft, and geometry of the collision situation. On top of this time, aircraft reaction time must be added. Also remember that any evasive action contemplated should include maintaining visual contact with other aircraft, if practical.

See how long you go without looking out the window. If you find that you glance out and give the old one-two without stopping to focus on anything or you stare out into one spot for an extended period of time, your "scan" is inadequate and you may be headed for an in-flight collision. So what can you do? LEARN AN EFFICIENT SCAN PATTERN! There are currently two basic methods that have proven best for pilots. The first, is the "side to side" (figure 1). Start at the far left of your visual area and make a methodical sweep to the right, pausing in each block to focus. At the end of the scan, return to your instruments. The second is the "front to side" (figure 2). Start with a fixation in the center of the block of your visual field. Move your eyes to the left, focusing in each block, swing quickly back to the center block, and repeat the procedure to the right.
