  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

  3. 2. Forced response numerical investigation of a transonic compressor rotor

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Mariana Pires Gonçalves Toco Dias; [2023]
    Keywords : Compressor; rotor; blisk; aeroelasticity; aerodynamic damping; CFD; transient; forced response;

    Abstract : The present thesis discusses the forced response of a rotor’s bladed-disk when excited by the periodic force produced by a wake generator, or Inlet Guide Vane (IGV),with 8 equally-spaced blades. These components are part of an axial transonic compressor rig, moreover the Transonic Compressor Darmstadt 1 (TCD1), located at the Technical University of Darmstadt. READ MORE

  4. 3. Design of a Model for Low Speed Wind Tunnel Testing

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Alex Doulas; Love Peter; [2023]
    Keywords : Wind Tunnel; Wind Tunnel Testing; Rapid Prototyping; Flight Simulations;

    Abstract : As technology for manufacturing small scale prototypes of aeroplanes has become cheaper and more easily viable, the process of Rapid Prototyping has become more common. Rapid Prototyping allows for the fundamental aerodynamic qualities of a geometric body to be tested in a wind tunnel using a small scale prototype. READ MORE

  5. 4. Electrical Propulsion System Design of a Blended Wing Body UAV

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Kevin Azad; Felix Fungula; [2022]
    Keywords : Aerospace; Aviation; Blended Wing Body; Electrical; Green Raven; Propeller; Propulsion; UAV;

    Abstract : The conventional tube-and-wing aircraft has been around since the 1950s, with little to no innovative progress being made towards redesigning the conventional aircraft. The blended wing body (BWB) shape fuses the wing of the aircraft with the fuselage increasing structural strength while also increasing potential surface area to create lift, making it more efficient than conventional wing shapes.

  6. 5. Weight prediction of flight control subsystem

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

    Author : Joel Lundahl; [2022]
    Keywords : Aeronautical engineering; aircraft; fighter jet; flight control system; FCS; weight prediction; early weight prediction; hydraulic system; control surfaces; actuator; subsystem; weight estimation; Flygteknik; flygplan; militärflygplan; stridsflygplan; styrsystem; viktprediktering; tidig viktprediktering; hydraulsystem; styrroder; styraktuatorer; aktuator; delsystem; viktuppskattning; metod;

    Abstract : A common dilemma in aircraft design is the importance of knowing weight characteristics at early design stages, since sizing of many important components is dependent on these. Yet precise weight data cannot be determined until the aircraft and its subsystems have been designed in detail. READ MORE
