Requirements Analysis for Design Optimization of Aerobatic Aircraft
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2017-01)
Aerobatic aircraft design and simulation is challenging as these aircraft need to fly at any angle of attack and sideslip angle (full-envelope aerodynamics). They fly at velocities close to stall speed, all the way up to ...
Integrated Sizing and Optimization of HybridWing Body Aircraft in Conceptual Design
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-06)
The hybrid wing body (HWB) configuration is a paradigm shift in commercial transport aircraft design in terms of environmentally responsible characteristics and significant performance improvements over the conventional ...
Exploring the Design Space of an Electric Ship using a Probabilistic Technology Evaluation Methodology
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-08)
With the advent of new technologies for electric ships, there is a need for a robust methodology to quantitatively evaluate their impact on the performance of a ship, while accounting for the uncertain nature of their ...
Development of A Certification Module for Early Aircraft Design
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-06)
The airworthiness certification process of civil transportation aircraft is expensive, timeconsuming, and subject to uncertainty. To reduce the cost and time spent on the certification process, this paper proposes an ...
A Model-Based System Engineering Approach to Normal Category Airplane Airworthiness Certification
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-06)
Airworthiness certification is to ensure the safety of aircraft. With the surge in novel general aviation aircraft configurations and technologies, the Federal Aviation Administration replaced prescriptive design requirements ...
Evaluating Optimal Paths for Aircraft Subsystem Electrification in Early Design
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-06)
The aerospace industry’s push for More-Electric Aircraft (MEA) has motivated numerous studies to quantify and optimize the impact of subsystem electrification in early design phases. Past studies on multi-objective ...
Integrated Sizing and Multi-objective Optimization of Aircraft and Subsystem Architectures in Early Design
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2017-06)
The aerospace industry's current trend towards novel or More Electric architectures results in some unique challenges for designers due to both a scarcity or absence of historical data and a potentially large combinatorial ...
Anomaly Detection in General Aviation Operations Using Energy Metrics and Flight Data Records
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2017)
Among operations in the General Aviation community, one of the most important objectives is to improve safety across all flight regimes. Flight data monitoring or Flight Operations Quality Assurance programs have percolated ...
Rapid Assessment of Power Requirements and Optimization of Thermal Ice Protection Systems
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018-06)
A thermal ice protection system prevents or dispatches ice formed on critical aircraft components like wings or nacelles by heating them either through electro-thermal or pneumatic means. The power requirements for such a ...
A Bayesian Safety Assessment Methodology for Novel Aircraft Architectures and Technologies using Continuous FHA
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-06)
Novel architectures and technologies carry with them an uncertainty related to their reliability and associated safety risk. Existing safety assessment methods involve determining the severity of discrete functional failure ...
