Flying-V Family Design

The Flying-V is a novel aircraft configuration that promises a large improvement in fuel burn performance compared to conventional aircraft, integrating the passenger cabin and cargo volume into the lifting surface. The Flying-V is a V-shaped flying wing with an oval cabin and engines over the trailing edge. The aircraft does not have high-lift...

European Electricity Prices and the EU Emissions Trading System: Lessons from the UK Carbon Price Floor

Efficient regulation is required in order to reduce carbon emissions and achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. The EU ETS is currently the most important regulatory instrument implemented for this purpose. Although the effects in terms of abatement are certain, the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) introduces uncertainty with regard to the...

Prevent the Flood: Creating multi-lateral solutions for a storm water resilient Amsterdam

This graduation project is about the storm water resilience of Amsterdam. The effects of climate change and urban growth, like extreme weather conditions and a larger paved area, cause undesirable conditions regarding storm water resilience of (Dutch) cities. Water nuisance and sewage overflows caused by heavy rainfall occur more and more often....

Transferring inter-disciplinary flood reconstruction responses from Japan to The Netherlands

Japan and the Netherlands have very different physical, historical and cultural contexts but they share a vulnerability to extreme flood related events and have, in both their (relatively) recent pasts, had to recover from such events: be they the floods of 1953 in the Netherlands or the tsunami that hit Japan’s east coast in 2011. This paper...

Growing the Dutch mountains: From an economic concentration, towards a strong & diverse economic region

Performing extremely well on the Randstad scale, the polycentric model is lacking functional links and complementarity on the AMA scale. In the following pages, we will explain the conclusions that we have drawn from our detailed analysis, reveal the aspects of the AMA that we identified as key issues and explain our method to tackle these...

Experimental hotel design based on the specific properties of FRP materials.

Intelligibility Based Automatic Volume Control for Public Address Systems

To convey messages to the public, public address systems (PA) are installed in buildings and at venues. These messages generally contain important information for the listener. This information has to come across well, i.e. the message should be intelligible. Because the environment, and mainly the background noise, can change over time, it is...
