1. 1. Conceptual design of the next generation gas turbines : Modelling of a hybrid electric mixed turbofan for a trainer aircraft

   University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

   Author : Sophia Fisher; Michael Åkerström; [2023]
   Keywords : Hybrid propulsion; mixed turbofan; parallel configuration; performance;

   Abstract : To mitigate climate change, all sectors must contribute their part. Electric propulsion system is a promising approach to reduce emissions from the aviation industry. A major challenge is however the low energy density in today’s battery technology. READ MORE

   Keywords : Ekranoplan; Unmanned ground effect vehicle UGEV ; vertical take-off and landing VTOL ; aircraft design; Ekranoplan; Obemannad markeffektfarkost UGEV ; Vertikal Start och Landning VTOL ; Flygplansdesign;

   Abstract : Unmanned aerial system (UAS) has developed into an important platform of high-altitude photography, which can be applied in animal studies, pollution forensics and geographic monitoring. This thesis work aims to design a unmanned ground effect vehicle (UGEV) in order to provide a much better and flexible solution to future applications. READ MORE

5. 4. Development and Use of System Modeler 6DOF Flight Mechanics Model in Aircraft Conceptual Design

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fluida och mekatroniska system

   Author : Niko Erä-Esko; [2022]
   Keywords : Aircraft Conceptual Design; Flight Mechanics; Modelling and Simulation;

   Abstract : This thesis presents a tool for conceptual design of a traditional configuration aircraft by using a parametric six degrees of freedom (6DOF) flight mechanics model implemented in the Modelica Language using Wolfram System Modeler. Being first only able to model and simulate the uncontrolled flight of an aircraft with fixed mass and centre of gravity (CG), and requiring detailed aerodynamic parameters as an input, the 6DOF model is improved by developing new features to reduce the number of required inputs while also increasing the data output of the simulations.

6. 5. Automatic Creation of an Aircraft Structural Layout and Structural Analysis Model : A method for implementing design automation in an early conceptual design phase

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Produktrealisering

   Author : Philip Brånäs; Nora Enderby; [2022]
   Keywords : Design automation; Structural layout; Structural analysis model; Conceptual design; Conceptual aircraft design; fuselage;

   Abstract : Aircraft structural layout concept design at Saab Aeronautics utilize thickness optimizationto evaluate astructural layout concept. The thickness values can be used to compare conceptsto each other,and the bestonecan be further developed. Today, most ofthe creation and evaluation of structural layout concepts is manual work.
