van der Zwan, Manouk (author)Many large airports aim to have complete autonomous airside operations in the future. Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AAS) for example, launched the Autonomous Airside Operations program to achieve this goal. Our main contribution is to present a Multi-agent Pickup-and-Delivery (MAPD) model that uses a centralized task allocation mechanism to...master thesis 2023

Magri, Federico (author)In this study, we present a first step towards a cutting-edge software framework that will enable autonomous racing capabilities for nano drones. Through the integration of neural networks tailored for real-time operation on resource-constrained devices. A lightweight Convolutional Neural Network, with the Gatenet architecture, is adjusted for...master thesis 2023

van der Werff, Daan (author)In the conceptual design phase, OEMs perform technology assessment to identify feasible solutions for their new aircraft. When the OEM is unable to assess a certain technology themselves, they consult Tier-1 suppliers to involve<br/>them in the design process. The suppliers have higher fidelity analysis tools that can help the OEM with their...master thesis 2023

Şeremet, Sorin (author)A 3D panel method code, named AWSM3D, is developed as an extension to the AeroModule aerodynamic software suite of TNO which includes a Blade Element Momentum theory (BEM) and a Lifting Line (LL) code. The underlying panel code method is presented along with a gradual process of simulation validation culminating in validating the code against...master thesis 2023

Mătieş, Georgiana (author)The rudder is one of the few aircraft primary composite structures that experience relatively low external aerodynamic loading during regular flight conditions. This renders the rudder shell the perfect candidate to study the possibility of introducing sustainable materials with lower mechanical properties in primary structures. However, high...master thesis 2023

van Lynden, Willem (author)This study addresses the challenge of accurately modeling the multi-regime plasma flow through Ambipolar Plasma Thrusters (APTs), a type of Electric Propulsion (EP) system. Despite their advantages, understanding the behavior of plasma within APTs is complex due to the presence of two different flow regimes: the fluid regime inside the thruster...master thesis 2023

Beltman, Maarten (author)Punctuality is a key performance indicator for any airline. Hub-and-spoke airlines are particularly committed to on-time arrivals to guarantee passenger connections. Flights that are delayed at departure need to compensate for the lost time whilst airborne. Because fueling takes place well before scheduled departure, predicted departure delays...master thesis 2023

van Doorn, Jan Laurenszoon (author)The application of automatic speech recognition in the air traffic control domain has been researched extensively. However, its primary application remains in the training and simulation of air traffic controllers. This is due to the insufficient performance of automatic speech recognition in specific environments, such as air traffic control,...master thesis 2023

Ciggaar, Rooderick (author)The future will see an increase in missions headed for deep space. Advanced payloads will require higher data rates in more efficient spacecraft. Conventional space communication is facilitated through RF technology. Although it is very reliable, doubts arise on its future sustainability because of limited bandwidth, inefficiency and a saturated...master thesis 2023

Bruun, Lasse (author)Access to microgravity has benefits across a large variety of fields. It presents unique features including the absence of convection, sedimentation, and buoyancy, which introduce new possibilities within physical and chemical processes. The dominance of diffusion in microgravity allows more uniform and precise structures to be formed within...master thesis 2023

Lafuente Arjona, Oscar (author)Military ground vehicles require protection against ballistic threats encountered in the battlefield. Traditionally used armour steel dramatically increases the weight of a vehicle, decreasing its mobility and hampering its capability of carrying payload. The development of new material and protection concepts, namely non-metallic armours, that...master thesis 2023

Batchelor, Alexander (author)The Airborne Wind Energy industry is evolving rapidly, aiming to establish its position among the major players in the conventional renewable energy sector. Since this industry is relatively young, it faces various challenges with scaling and integration into society. One aspect that can be improved is the design process of soft-wing kites. The...master thesis 2023

PARAMESWARAN, ADVAIT (author)With a growing trend in the miniaturization of satellites, there was a need to develop micro-propulsion systems for these satellites. Since there was a challenge to scale-down conventional propulsion systems, new concepts needed to be developed. One such concept was the micro-resistojet thruster which used heat input to accelerate the propellant...master thesis 2023

Klootwijk, Bart (author)Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) unlock the potential to harness energy from wind in deeper waters. Despite their potential, the major obstacle to large-scale commercial deployment remains the floating substructure's high cost. Multidisciplinary design, analysis and optimisation techniques are commonly employed to improve their cost...master thesis 2023

van Wissen, Alexis (author)Capable of both vertical take-off and landing and forward flight, tail-sitters are a versatile class of UAVs with a large range of potential applications. A variant of tailsitters using tilt-rotors instead of ailerons for pitch and roll control has been proposed to mitigate the reduced control authority at low to zero velocities. The control of...master thesis 2023
