  • Aircraft cost modelling, integrated in a multidisciplinary design context 
    Di Pasquale, Davide; Gore, David; Savill, Mark A.; Kipouros, Timoleon; Holden, Carren (Science Publishing Group, 2019-12-17)
    Most of the current cost models focus on a particular manufacturing process or a specific maintenance aspect, therefore not providing the whole picture. The main challenge in modelling the manufacturing cost, associated ...
  • Aircraft crash survivability from viscous injury in vertical impacts 
    Barth, Thomas H. (Cranfield University, 2009-04)
    This research investigated viscous injury from vertical impact loading to determine if it is critical to survivability of aircraft accidents. A unique database was built from autopsy reports and accident investigations ...
  • An aircraft design for maintainability methodology integrated with computer aided design 
    Lockett, Helen L.; Estefani, J.; Reytérou, E. (Cranfield University, 2012-11-06)
    Maintenance typically represents 10 – 25% of the direct operating cost of an aircraft and minimizing maintenance cost is therefore an important driver for aircraft design. This paper presents a methodology for Design for ...
  • Aircraft design optimisation conceptual evaluation of a three-lifting surface turbo-fan airliner 
    Basto Nunes, J. M. (Cranfield University, 1995-02)
    Today's high competitiveness in the airline industry urges for the development of even more efficient transport aircraft. In many cases lower operating costs are the key to survival. Although the introduction of emerging ...
  • Aircraft design studies - counter insurgency aircraft with suction boundary layer control 
    Howe, D. (Cranfield Institute of Technology, College of Aeronautics, 1970-04)
    A design study of a counter insurgency aircraft with a suction boundary layer controlled wing to give high lift has been undertaken. The work was carried out by the students in the Department of Aircraft Design during ...
  • Aircraft design studies - E67 tilt-wing executive aircraft 
    Howe, D. (Cranfield Institute of Technology, College of Aeronautics, 1973-08)
    The E67 design was for a vertical take off and landing aircraft for executive use. Vertical flight capability was achieved by using the tilt wing concept. In the initial version of the design power was provided by two ...
  • Aircraft design studies - vertical take off and landing airliner 
    Howe, D. (Cranfield Institute of Technology, College of Aeronautics, 1972-05)
