Acousto-Optical Tunable Filters (AOTFs) make use of the interaction between sound and light. To generate an ultrasound diffraction grating, a Radio-Frequency (RF) signal is applied to a piezoelectric transducer. The optical pass band can be controlled by adapting the properties of this transducer and the RF-signal. To achieve more precise...

Cross-modal retrieval, as an important emerging foundational information retrieval task, benefits from recent advances in multimodal technologies. However, current cross-modal retrieval methods mainly focus on the interaction between textual information and 2D images, lacking research on 3D data, especially point clouds at scene level,...

The blade solidity, namely the blade chordtopitch ratio, largely affects the fluiddynamic performance of turbomachinery. For turbomachines operating with air or steam, the optimal value of the solidity which maximizes the efficiency is estimated with empirical correlations such as the ones proposed by Zweifel (1945) and Traupel (1966). However,...

One of the most critical technological challenges embedded in the electrification of future aircraft revolves around the thermal management of batteries and fuel cells. An innovative idea involves using the aircraft’s aerodynamic surfaces to dissipate the extra heat, thereby reducing the impact that traditional thermal management systems (e.g....

Carbon emissions from commercial aircraft are expected to reach more than twice as much as the current levels by 2050. Unconventional aircraft, such as the Flying-V, are projected to achieve more than 20% fuel savings when compared to conventional configurations. However, these unconventional aircraft configurations pose a unique set of design...

Unforeseen failures during flight can lead to Loss of Control In-Flight, a significant cause of fatal aircraft accidents worldwide. Current offline synthesized flight control methods have limited capability to recover from failures, due to their limited adaptability. Incremental Approximate Dynamic Programming (iADP) control is a model-agnostic...

As of present the Urban Air Mobility market has been dominated by fully electric aircraft. However, hydrogen vehicles have remained relatively undeveloped in this segment, also because hydrogen poses additional design complexities and uncertainties concerning crashworthiness, fuel cell cooling, and low volumetric density. Nevertheless, hydrogen...

This paper investigates the performance of an autonomous navigation system to navigate a spacecraft in the proximity of a binary asteroid system using optical and laser ranging measurements. The knowledge about the binary asteroid is limited to its orbital parameters and ellipsoid shape models. The accelerometer bias random walk is included in...

The Flying V is a long-range, flying-wing aircraft where payload and fuel both reside in a V-shaped, crescent wing with large winglets that double as vertical tail planes. The objective of this study is to maximize the lift-to-drag (L/D) ratio of the Flying V in cruise conditions, i.e. CL= 0.26, M = 0.85 and to investigate its off-design...

A design can only be as good as its mathematical representation. In engineering design optimization, the chosen method of parameterization can have significant impact on the outcomes. This paper introduces a novel methodology for airfoil design parameterization utilizing variational autoencoders (VAEs), a class of neural networks known for their...

During the early design stages of airframe components, many possible design architectures and production methods need to be traded to find the best configuration. Evaluating different production methods can be challenging as different production methods put different requirements on the product to be designed. This paper presents a new...

Aircraft maintenance scheduling is a focus point for airlines. Maintenance is essential to ensure the airworthiness of aircraft, but it comes at the cost of rendering them unavailable for operations. In current operations, aircraft maintenance scheduling must often be updated to include time for non-routine and non-schedule tasks. These non...

In 2022 Airbus and Boeing combined delivered 1203 commercial aircraft. With an annual predicted growth of 4.3% for the coming 20 years there is an urgent need for end of life solutions that go beyond down-cycling of parts that cannot be reused. Especially carbon fibre reinforced composites are hard to recycle, and attempts to deliver recyclable...
