Melkert, J.A. (author)The design synthesis exercise forms the closing piece of the third year of the Bachelor degree curriculum of the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at TU Delft. In this exercise the students learn to apply their acquired knowledge from all aerospace disciplines in one complete design. The object of this exercise is to improve the students’ design...journal article 2013

Saunders-Smits, G.N. (author), Roling, P. (author), Brügemann, V. (author), Timmer, N. (author), Melkert, J. (author)Over the past four years the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands has redeveloped its BSc curriculum to mimic an engineering design cycle. Each semester represents a step in the design cycle: exploration; system design; sub-system design; test, analysis & simulation; verification & validation.conference paper 2012

Snijders, T.A. (author), Melkert, J.A. (author)Prior to being used in aviation, alternative fuels have to be tested thoroughly to ensure safe operation. At Delft University of Technology, a test programme was performed to evaluate the safety, performance and emissions of synthetic fuel blends. During test preparations, compatibility of the synthetic fuel with the aircraft, a Cessna Citation...conference paper 2011

(author)International jet fuel specifications permit up to 50% volume Fischer-Tropsch synthetic paraffinic kerosines (FT-SPKs), such as Gas-to-Liquids (GTL) Kerosine, in Jet A-1. Higher SPK-content fuels could, however, produce desirable fuels: lower density, higher SPK-content fuels may have benefits for Payload range (P/R) performance and their...conference paper 2011

Snijders, T.A. (author), Melkert, J.A. (author)The radiative forcing caused by the emissions of jet aircraft is calculated using data from an aircraft performance model. Data from the performance model is needed to calculate the emissions of the aircraft. The sensitivity function and lifetime of the emitted gasses and particles are used to calculate the integrated radiative forcing of the...conference paper 2011

Snijders, T.A. (author), Melkert, J.A. (author)The search for alternative fuels has lead to a number of possibilities. The most promising alternative fuels for the short term are drop-in fuels such as synthetic fuel and hydrotreated renewable jet. These fuels are similar to Jet A-1 but some differences are present. Synthetic fuels are produced using a process that results in a fuel without...conference paper 2011

Snijders, T.A. (author), Melkert, J.A. (author)TU Delft in the Netherlands is performing research into the effects of the use of synthetic kerosene in aircraft. The research program consists of both desk research and tests. In the desk research gas turbine simulations will be combined with payload range performance calculations to show engine effects and fuel consumption changes. Ground and...journal article 2008

Melkert, J. (author), Van Wee, B. (author)Since the year 2000 the Netherlands are using a new guideline for assessing the costs and benefits of transport systems. This guideline has been used several times now to assess transport systems using existing transport modes like trains. This paper reports on the first time this guideline was used to assess an innovative transport concept, the...conference paper 2007

Barrett, R. (author), Melkert, J. (author)Visual signature suppression (VSS) methods for several classes of aircraft from WWII on are examined and historically summarized. This study shows that for some classes of uninhabited aerial vehicles (UAVs), primary mission threats do not stem from infrared or radar signatures, but from the amount that an aircraft visually stands out against the...conference paper 2005
