  1. 1. Implementation and comparison of the Aircraft Intent Description Language and point-mass Non-Linear Dynamic Inversion approach to aircraft modelling in Modelica

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fluida och mekatroniska system

    Author : Arcot Manjunath Shreepal; Shree Harsha Vijaya Kumar; [2021]
    Keywords : aircraft Modelling; Modelling and Simulation; Aircraft Intent; model-based systems engineering; Flight dynamics; Longitudinal stability; Aircraft Modelling; Non-linear Dynamic Inversion; Conceptual aircraft design; Dynamic Inversion; control methods; aircraft plant model; Object-oriented aircraft model; Air traffic management; Modelica; Modelon Impact; Modelica tool; 3DoF; AIDL; point-mass model;

    Abstract : The study is conducted to determine practical modelling and simulation techniques to perform dynamic stability and performance analysis on a 3 Degrees of freedom aircraft model using a Modelica-based commercial tool called Modelon Impact. This study is based on a conceptual aircraft model where in-depth details about the aircraft configuration are unknown and the aim is to determine a suitable model that can capture the longitudinal dynamics and aerodynamic constraints of the aircraft during the conceptual design phase.

  2. 2. Conceptual Design of an Air-Launched Three-Staged Orbital Launch Vehicle

    University essay from KTH/Rymdteknik

    Author : Måns Rasmussen; [2021]
    Keywords : Air-launched; Launch Vehicle; Three-staged; Rocket; Sun-Synchronous orbit; Solid propellant; Liquid propellant; Trajectory optimization; Nonlinear programming; JAS 39 Gripen; Fighter aircraft; Luftlanserad; Trestegsraket; Solsynkron bana; Fast bränsle; Flytande bränsle; Bananalys; Icke-linjär optimering; JAS 39 Gripen; Jaktflygplan;

    Abstract : The objective of this study was to design a launch vehicle capable of deploying a nanosatellite into a Sun-synchronous orbit at 500 km orbital altitude from the JAS 39E/F Gripen fighter aircraft. This was achieved by first performing theoretical calculations for the required nozzles and solid propellant grain configurations for the first two solid stages, followed by the necessary liquid propellant configuration for the third stage.

  3. 3. Model-based concept development of system in UAV

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik; Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Sebastian Palmberg; Sara Westroth; [2020]
    Keywords : concept development; unmanned aerial vehicle; vapour cycle system; aircraft vehicle system;

    Abstract : There is a large number of design options to consider when designing aircraft vehicle systems for fighter aircraft, and there is a lack of tool support that provides an overview of these available design options. Various design options will bring consequences in terms of weight, performance, cost, etc. READ MORE

  4. 4. Conceptual design and development of thermal management system for hybrid electric aircraft engine. : A study to develop a physical model and investigate the use of Mobil Jet Oil II as coolant for aircraft electrical propulsion under different scenarios and time horizons.

    University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Framtidens energi

    Author : Yash Khanna; [2019]
    Keywords : Hybrid electric aircraft system; Thermal management system; micro channel; Dynamic modelling; Mobil Jet Oil II;

    Abstract : The ever-increasing levels of greenhouse gas emissions has led to the scientific community starting to explore the viability of electrical aircraft system, with the most prominent research and product development for hybrid electric system, which forms the transition phase from combustion to fully electric aircrafts. The primary objective of this thesis is to find solutions towards thermal management of the electrical components of a hybrid electric aircraft propulsion system, which generate a significant amount of heat while operating at heavy load conditions required to propel an aircraft.
