This can be referred in future studies into the hypersonic regime and shape optimization to get the best suited geometry with high aerodynamic performance for a given free stream condition.

Abstract To assist in initializing the conceptual design of hypersonic aircraft, we outline a new, systematic framework based on historical aircraft data and primarily composed of design data and regression models. ...An example is provided to demonstrate the application of the framework to launch the conceptual design of a new hypersonic aircraft with a given set of mission requirements.

Abstract At hypersonic speed, severe aerodynamic heating is observed, and temperatures are too high to cool by radiation cooling; active cooling such as ablative cooling is helpful in this situation. ...A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation of a two-dimensional (2D) lifting body against thermally perfect air in a hypersonic region (Mach number, M > 5) is carried out for M = 5–9 to obtain a heat-transfer-minimized sweepback angle (ΛHT-min), at which heat transfer to the vehicle is minimum.

Focused on design For Missouri S&T Racing, knowing why a system was designed in a particular way is as important as knowing how it was designed. Taking the classroom to the racetrack Purdue University's Formula SAE team makes good racecars, even better engineers. Sticking to the schedule By strictly meeting deadlines, West Virginia University Institute of Technology team hopes to reach new heights in SAE Aero Design.

The Center for Automotive Research (CAR) and Velodyne Lidar, Inc. have joined the International Alliance for Mobility Testing & Standardization (IAMTS). Alongside SAE International, the two organizations will serve as as core members of IAMT’s Technical Leadership Committee.

Originally published in 1995, now updated and expanded with new specifications, this seminal work focuses on the development of Allied aircraft engines that helped turn the tide of World War II.

Capital software provides Mazda with extensive simulation and verification functionalities which can reduce error and cost when integrating systems across multiple, increasingly complex vehicle platforms.

Together, the companies will develop customized lightweight material systems and advanced manufacturing processes, such as metal additive manufacturing – also known as 3D printing – to advance current and next-generation aerospace and defense solutions, including new structures and systems not currently in existence.

Fastener industry on fast track of change Technologies developed for fastening of metal aerospace parts are being transferred for bonding of composite parts. Moving toward sensor standardization One of the challenges facing aerospace developers is getting accurate test data from the many sensors used to monitor performance, simplifying setup and calibration. Wing design opens the envelope Technology presented at ACE describes a design process for a lightweight wing with an aerodynamic shape that is optimal for a large part of the cruise flight.

Introducing S.M. Shahed, SAE President for 2002 From humble beginnings, S.M. Shahed carves out a seat at the society's top spot. Aerospace online Rapidly developing Internet-based technologies are profoundly changing the engineering/design process, revolutionizing the way OEMs and suppliers do business, and speeding industry's time-to-market. Mobilizing Canadarm2 Components set for delivery and assemblyon the International Space Station this year will provide mobility to the Space Station Remote Manipulator System or Canadarm2, enabling further construction of the station to continue. Collaborating via the Web The next stage of product development and engineering support software looks to enhance engineers' ability to collaborate with each other via the Internet.

A balanced program involving both the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and industry has been structured to carry out a Supersonic Laminar Flow Control (SLFC) program. The program utilizes a balanced mix of computational efforts, ground facility experiments, and flight testing. Advanced Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) methods and boundary-layer stability codes offer the opportunity to analyze flow phenomena to a greater level of accuracy than in the past, yet the computational prediction and design tools need considerable development and validation for the highly three-dimensional supersonic flow conditions of the F-16XL and the High Speed Civil Transport (HSCT). Swept-wing model experiments are underway in a low-disturbance supersonic tunnel to provide data on leading-edge transition physics and flow mechanisms. On-going F-16XL-1 flight tests are obtaining laminar-flow data that will reduce the risk for the NASA experiment on the F-16XL-2.

Examples from the aircraft industry include hypersonic airplanes in which the fuel serves as a coolant to heat sensitive frame components, and the frame serves as part of the engine.

This publication outlines general design concepts considered the minimum acceptable standards for use in electrical and electronic equipment. The objective is increased reliability of the equipment without penalizing the aircraft performance.
