In response to escalating environmental concerns and stringent economic constraints, there
is an urgent need to develop aircraft technologies and configurations that substantially …

The aviation sector is experiencing an increasing pressure to reduce emissions via long-
term strategies for a ceaselessly growing number of flight passengers. Aircraft currently in …

Subgrid-scale (SGS) modelling is formulated using a local transport of spectral kinetic
energy estimated by a wavelet multiresolution analysis. Using a spectrally and spatially local …

Newtonian physics provides a straightforward explanation of the forces created by all
propellers, rotors and wings. The propeller passes through a mass of air each second (m/dt) …

Scaled model testing is commonly recognized as a valuable approach for predicting aircraft
performance in the aeronautical applications. However, challenges arise in the case of wave …

The widespread availability of cheap, mass-produced balloons puts a strain on the financial
and manufacturing capacities of most aerial interception systems. In the past, high-altitude …

The V-tail configuration has excellent stealth performance and has been using widely in the
aerodynamic shape design of advanced aircraft. Many recent studies have focused on …

In the early stages of aircraft design, a scaled model of the aircraft is installed in a wind
tunnel for dynamic semi-free flight to approximate real flight, and the test data are then used …

The perspective of the Aerospace industry, both civil and military, is constantly evolving in
response to international crises, environmental footprint, sustainability expectations etc. The …

Abstract The potential of Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP) for future aircraft has been
evaluated with Scaled Flight Testing (SFT). Scaled flight testing can contribute to a reduction …
