Avionics go to war
Advanced helmet sight systems are being designed to help the
situational awareness of those pilots who actually still fly
aircraft, while also being seamlessly integrated with the aircraft
itself.
Model military engine behavior
While the concept of a variable cycle engine is not new, recent
advances in engine architecture technology suggest that adding a
second bypass stream to a traditional turbofan can provide
significant benefits.
Alternative seals for alternative fuels
When considering seal compatibility an aircraft from traditional
jet fuel to a synthetic fuel presents an interesting technical
challenge that has both financial and practical considerations,
especially for aircraft that are already in service.
