Developing Effective Strategies for the Deployment of Sustainable Aircraft Technologies by the Aviation Industry: A Qualitative Case Study

This Master Thesis research addresses strategies for deploying sustainable aircraft technologies, with the primary goal to accelerate sustainability transitions within the aviation industry. The focus of the research is on analysing hydrogen and ultra-efficient aircraft technologies in comparison to a conventional aircraft, with 50% SAF drop-in,...

The Elegance of Vertical Farming: Architectural Design of Building Integrated Plant Factories with Artificial Lighting

With phenomena such as population growth and urbanisation, expanding cities no longer derive their food supply from their hinterlands but rely on the global food trade which includes vast greenhouse and open-field agriculture. Given the limited availability of land, water and nutrients together with the uncertainty of a changing climate, the...

The influence of core permeability on the stability of interlocking, single layer armour units

The permeability of a breakwater is of great importance for the stability of the armour layer. The influence of the structural permeability on the stability of rock armour units was already researched by Van der Meer using the 'notional' permeabiltiy. However, for single layer interlocking armour units the influence core permeability is rather...
