Exploration of a Reverse Turbo-Brayton Cryocooler for Carbon Neutral Aeronautical Applications: Integrated Cryocooler Design and Tank Modeling for Cryogenic Liquid Hydrogen in Long Range Flight

Climate change is a pressing issue. Hydrogen aircraft are an excellent alternative to current kerosene aircraft, and appear to be the most viable long-term solution for net-zero flight. One of the main challenges for hydrogen aircraft is to sustain a low boil-off rate. This research explores the solution of active cooling of the LH2 mixture in...

Fuselage Design Studies to Improve Boarding Performance of Novel Passenger Aircraft: An Approach from Knowledge-Based Engineering and Agent-Based Modelling

With the growth of the aviation industry, aircraft designers are pressured for the development of sustainable solutions able to deal with the increase in traffic as well as congested airports. Turnaround time becomes an increasingly important factor contributing to the overall success of an aircraft design. A shorter turnaround time may allow...
