1. 21. Direct Lift Control of Fighter Aircraft

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Reglerteknik

   Author : Philip Öhrn; Markus Åstrand; [2019]
   Keywords : direct lift; direct lift control; fighter aircraft; model predictive control; linear quadratic control; MPC; LQ; flight path angle;

   Abstract : Direct lift control for aircraft has been around in the aeronautical industry for decades but is mainly used in commercial aircraft with dedicated direct lift control surfaces. The focus of this thesis is to investigate if direct lift control is feasible for a fighter aircraft, similar to Saab JAS 39 Gripen, without dedicated control surfaces. READ MORE

3. 22. Dynamic Performance Analysis of a Fighter Jet with Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion

   University essay from KTH/Flygdynamik

   Author : Boban Pavlovic; [2019]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : A modern view of aircraft performance analysis, is to quantify aircraft manoeuvrability with agility metrics. There are several different agility metrics, which can be seen as indexing of the aircraft agility performance. The quantified unit is the time it takes for the aircraft to perform a specific manoeuvre relevant to a given agility metric. READ MORE

4. 23. Obstacles for Remote Air Traffic Services: A Multilevel Perspective

   University essay from KTH/Industriell Management

   Author : Kristoffer Segersten; KEREN ZHAI; [2018]
   Keywords : Remote air traffic services; remote tower; air traffic service; air traffic control; Multilevel Perspective; Large Technical System; sociotechnical obstacles; Fjärrstyrda flygtrafiktjänster; fjärrstyrda torn; flygtrafiktjänster; flygtrafikledning; Multilevel Perspective; Large Technical System; sociotekniska utmaningar;

   Abstract : Air traffic services (ATS) play an important role for flight safety. Remote air traffic services (RATS) represent a novel, more digitalized, ATS solution. In some aspects, RATS can be argued to outperform conventional ATS. However, as it entails various sociotechnical obstacles, making RATS the dominant solution for ATS is challenging. READ MORE

5. 24. Chassis Design of a Control Pod for a Kite Power System

   University essay from KTH/Marina system

   Author : Erik Soukka; [2018]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This is the report of a master thesis in light weight design of a component in a system that harnesses wind power with a kite. The thesis is a degree project in Naval Architecture at KTH with the course code SD271X. The design work is mostly of a structural nature, but systems engineering, and conceptual design is also a major part of thestudy. READ MORE

6. 25. Exploration of AirSim using C and Rust in the Context of SafetyCritical Systems

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Daniel Aros Banda; Joel Wachsler; [2018]
   Keywords : AirSim; Simulation; C; Rust; Safety-Critical Systems; Flight Controller; MAVLink; AirSim; Simulering; C; Rust; Säkerhetskritiska System; Flygkontroller; MAVLink;

   Abstract : AirSim is a new simulator developed as a plugin for the Unreal Engine, aiming to be a useful tool aiding the development and testing of algorithms for autonomous vehicles. Due to AirSim still being in its infancy there is little to none research available of its possibilities or detailed guidelines and tutorials on how to use its APIs. READ MORE
