Vibrations are inherent part in an aircraft system and supressing them has always been a technological challenge. Over the recent years, damping of mechanical vibrations is becoming increasing important to improve the reliability and performance of the aircraft systems and also increase the safety of passengers. As a response to these issues,...

About 70-85% of commercial aircraft Life Cycle Cost (LCC) is determined during the design stage of the aircraft. Aircraft maintenance is a vital process within aircraft operation and it takes around 15% of LCC. The present day aviation market drives the airlines to reduce the maintenance cost as much as possible. The current maintenance cost...

Over the duration of the last year research regarding the en route delay absorption capabilities of the MUAC airspace for Schiphol inbound flights has been performed. Delay absorption currently takes place in the lower airspace, where as a result air traffic controllers and pilots experience increased workloads during one of the most critical...

Nowadays accident analysis tools focus on finding the cause of an accident so that lessons can be learned. The ESReDA Cube method is designed to explore a new field in accident analyses. It focuses on the next step, namely analysing the lessons learned out of an accident. It is checked if they are sufficient and if they caused any change(s)....

Since the beginning of the century the field of airborne wind energy has emerged to provide with new means of generating renewable energy. It's ability to access higher altitudes and it's relatively low material requirements with respect to conventional wind turbines, have inspired several research institutes and commercial parties to invest...

The tail rotor of conventional helicopters has always been considered a necessary 'evil'. It is necessary to counteract the reaction torque of the engine and to control the helicopter in yaw but it consumes substantial power, has only marginal control authority under unfavourable wind conditions, and it is noisy, vulnerable and dangerous. A...

Due to the ever growing demand for more efficient aircraft novel aircraft concepts have to be explored. By improving design tools the potential of unconventional configurations can be further studied. This requires improvement of conceptual design tools such that more knowledge can be gathered on alternative solutions as early in the design...

The design of the landing gear is one of the prime aspects of aircraft design. Literature describes the design process thoroughly, however the integration of these design methods within an automated design framework has had little focus in literature. Landing gear design includes different engineering disciplines including structures, weights,...

In the last 60 years many new technologies have entered the aerospace industry, but the overall aircraft design remained virtually unchanged. If we compare an aircraft built in the 1960's with the latest generation, they look strikingly similar. Only small evolutionary changes entered the commercial aircraft market. A lot of these changes are...

Research in aircraft design is focusing on novel aircraft configurations in search for a step change in terms of overall transport efficiency. Aircraft design relies heavily on empirical methods, so-called Class 2 methods, to evaluate the performance of a design. Since these methods are based on statistical data their validity is limited when...

An airport’s operation and development impacts many stakeholders. Therefore, an airport should be treated as a socio-technical system. An airport operator and its stakeholders should strategically plan and develop the airport together. This dissertation describes the development of the HARMOS Decision Support System that can facilitate such...

The effect of upstream injection by means of continuous Air Jet Vortex Generators (AJVGs) on a shock wave turbulent boundary layer interaction is experimentally investigated. The baseline interaction is of the impinging type, with a flow deflection angle of 9.5?, a Mach number Me = 2.3, and a momentum thickness based Reynolds number of 5,000....

A design methodology for composite space enclosures was generated. As a result a panel of an electronics housing structure, as part of a general satellite traversing both GEO and LEO, was designed and optimized. A mass saving of 18% was achieved over a conventional aluminum panel, while assuring structural integrity for acceleration loads,...

The main goal of this research is to create and analyse a series of alternative runway system maintenance strategies for Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. For the analysis, a trade-off framework is built to determine whether these alternatives are an improvement over the current strategy. This framework thus assists the decision making process...

During conceptual design a problem arises when predicting the buffet onset boundary. Due to the pressure on payload-range and cruise altitude capability, improvement on the buffet onset boundary is often of great importance. It is one of the primary constraints in establishing the low and transonic speed performance capabilities of transport...

In order to remain competitive with respect to low-cost overseas markets, domestic moldmakers will have to increase the productivity of their engineers and maintain high quality standard, while dealing with the problem of an aging workforce. To increase the competitiveness of the European automotive industry, the concept of and Integrated Design...

Traditionally, the aircraft design process is divided into three phases: conceptual, preliminary and detailed design. In each subsequent phase, the fidelity of the analysis tools increases and more and more details of the design geometry are frozen. In each phase a number of design variants is generated, fully analyzing them with the tools...
