A retrofit design of a stress-reducing, human-centric lighting plan for an aircraft entry

This is a thesis report in Integrated Product Design, along with STG Aerospace in Cwmbran, Wales. It is a design project centered around the entry lighting of an aircraft galley. The analysis provided possibilities to reduce stress using light. These are showing information from trusted and authoritative sources, enlarging...

Conceptual Design of Blended Wing Body Airliners Within a Semi-automated Design Framework

Blended wing body aircraft represent a paradigm shift in jet transport aircraft design. Stepping away from the conventional tube-and-wing philosophy, they promise benefits over existing or future conventional aircraft. The most significant challenge with the concept is the increased coupling between aircraft design disciplines that has...

Business Jet Design Using Laminar Flow

For conceptual aircraft design to include accurate laminar flow prediction, a link between modern computational tools to determine laminar-to-turbulent boundary layer transition and fast sizing methods is required. For swept wings, it is crucial to include the highly unstable three-dimensional crossflow component of the boundary layer. These...

Aeria Bird Repelling System. From lab to the landing strip. From the FESTO SmartBird towards a viable product against bird strikes.

Birds pose a serious threat to aviation industry due to the fact that birds and aircraft share the same aerospace and inevitably collisions between them cannot be avoided. These collisions can cause from minor dents to the aircraft's fuselage to catastrophic damages to the engines which can lead to multiple human loses. In order to prevent bird...
