  1. 11. 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.

  3. 12. Dynamic Synthesis of Pilot Actions for Multiple Faults during Flight

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Medie- och Informationsteknik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Louise Nilsson; Malin Rahm; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In today’s JAS 39 Gripen E there is a central system that collects all failures that occur in the aircraft. Complex failures often generate multiple simultaneous alerts. This makes it difficult for the pilot to get an overview of the active alerts. Each alert has a number of actions that the pilot must handle. READ MORE

  4. 13. Converting an Automobile Engine to an Aircraft Engine

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Gabriel Kronberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Piston Engine; Tiny Friendly Giant; Aviation Emissions; Engine Cooling; GREET; BFFM2; Sustainable Aviation Fuel; Engine Conversion; Emission Estimation; Trade Study; Kolvmotor; Tiny Friendly Giant; Flygutsläpp; Motorkylning; GREET; BFFM2; Hållbart flygbränsle; Motorkonvertering; Utsläppsupskattning; Paramterstudie;

    Abstract : This project evaluates the opportunity to convert a three-cylinder automobile piston engine (the Tiny Friendly Giant) to an aircraft engine from an environmental and practical point of view. The problem of increased emissions from aviation calls for technical and socioeconomic solutions, which is the reason why this report is written. READ MORE

  5. 14. Enhancing the endurance of UAVs by the use of structural power composites: System-level study of a flying wing

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

    Author : Gustav Burman; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis studies the feasibility of integrating the novelStructural Battery (SB)[1] into the airframe of a UnmannedAerial Vehicle (UAV). The potential advantages in terms ofmass, range and endurance are studied.The aircraft performance is analysed using conventionalflight mechanics, modelled in Matlab and Xfoil. READ MORE

  6. 15. Learning to Fly: Upgraded Aerodynamics and Control Surfaces

    University essay from KTH/Flygdynamik

    Author : David Jacobsson; [2021]
    Keywords : Hybrid; UAV; Reinforcement Learning; Machine Learning; Controller; Flight Controller; Control Theory; Learning to Fly; Aerodynamics; Hybrid; UAV; Drönare; Flygmekanik; Reglerteknik; Maskininlärning; Regulatordesign;

    Abstract : In recent times the unmanned quadcopter aircraft has been used for a widening range of applications, but for longer distances it still falls short of conventional airplanes in terms of energy usage. There exists hybrid configurations of unmanned aircraft which combine the mobility of quadcopters and the range of fixed-wing aircraft. READ MORE
