Kilkiş, San (author)Present Knowledge Based Engineering (KBE) applications do not facilitate collaborative processes due to lack of process formalization and orchestration capabilities, leading to ad-hoc solutions. This increases application development time, reduces re-usability, and increases the cognitive burden of users leading to decreased design efficiency....master thesis 2022

Ramdin, Shiv (author)Engine maintenance needs to be planned timely and strategically. This can only be done if the health of the engine can be predicted, which requires an accurate engine performance model. Developing such a model is becoming increasingly challenging, due to the reduced number of sensors in modern gas turbines. Besides this, a lot of data is...master thesis 2022

de Gruijl, Wouter (author)To make propellers more viable as a greener alternative to jet engines, the issue of propeller noise needs to be addressed. Previous propeller design optimization studies rarely take into account the effects on aerodynamic and aeroacoustic performance due to non-uniform inflow, the type of flow the propeller would experience if it was installed...master thesis 2022

Kuijpers, Jan-Willem (author)With standard aircraft configurations reaching their limits in efficiency, new aircraft configurations are being theorized and analyzed. One type of analysis is remotely piloted scaled flight tests. One of the aspects that can be analyzed through remotely piloted scaled flight tests is the dynamic behavior of the aircraft. This thesis shows a...master thesis 2021

Onorato, Giuseppe (author)Zero-carbon-dioxide-emitting hydrogen-powered aircraft have, in recent decades, come back on the stage as promising protagonists in the fight against global warming. Nevertheless, most recent studies agree that hydrogen aircraft would underperform their kerosene counterparts in terms of operative empty mass and specific energy consumption. The...master thesis 2021

Juffermans, Stefan (author)For decades the physical appearance of aircraft remained more or less unchanged. The increase in efficiency which still can be made by improving this design, is limited. More researchers have started to investigate new design options that represent a departure from established concepts. The main drivers behind these endeavors are the tightening...master thesis 2021

van Zelst, Pieter (author)There is renewed interest into propeller-driven aircraft to improve fuel economy. Some novel concepts such as distributed electric propulsion (DEP) use propellers for lift augmentation. Low-order methods are required to quickly determine designs with improved high-lift performance. A 2D tool may be required to “tune” a 3D inviscid model such as...master thesis 2021
