To achieve improvements in aircraft efficiency and reduced environmental footprint, aircraft
must incorporate novel concepts, architectures, and technologies, such as distributed …

A typical aircraft certification process consists of obtaining a type, production, airworthiness,
and continued airworthiness certificate. During this process, a type certification plan is …

This work presents a comprehensive numerical model for ice accretion and Ice Protection
System (IPS) simulation over a 2D component, such as an airfoil. The model is based on the …

This study focuses on a system constituted of two piezoelectric transducers installed on a
slat representative element, with ice protection purposes. The waves generated by these …

Following the conceptual phase of aircraft design, sizing and performance estimations shift
from historical-based empirical equations to physics-based simulations. The initial aircraft …

The push for more-electric aircraft (MEA) has motivated numerous studies to quantify and
optimize the impact of subsystem electrification in early design phases. Past studies on multi …
