Generalised cost optimisation of short-haul twin-turboprop aircraft including airport considerations

Pant, Rajkumar S. (Cranfield University, 1997-02)

In this thesis, a methodology is proposed for the conceptual design and optimisation of twin-turboprop Commuter & Regional aircraft suitable for operation over a spe¬cific short-haul route. Using this methodology, the ...

Integrating combat effectiveness disciplines into the aircraft conceptual/preliminary design phase

Al-Ahmed, S. M. (Cranfield University, 1996)

An assessment methodology has been developed for - use during the conceptual/preliminary design phase to quantify the effectiveness of newly designed aircraft. The effectiveness is measured by a squadron Sortie Generation ...

Investigation of the application of hybrid laminar flow control and variable camber wing design for regional aircraft

Edi, Prasetyo (1998-10)

Approximately 65% of the world's commercial jet fleet consists of narrowbody, single-aisle aircraft with a capacity of 70 to 170 seats. The trend since deregulation in the US has been towards hub-and-spoke networks and a ...

Investigations into the operational effectiveness of hybrid laminar flow control aircraft

Young, T. M. (Cranfield University, 2002-10)

Hybrid Laminar Flow Control (HLFC) is an active drag reduction technique that permits extended laminar flow on an aircraft surface at chord Reynolds numbers normally associated with turbulent flow. The operational ...

Maintainability prediction for aircraft mechanical components utilising aircraft feedback information

Wan Husain, Wan Mohd Sufian Bin (Cranfield University, 2011-09)

The aim of this research is to propose an alternative approach to determine the maintainability prediction for aircraft components. In this research, the author looks at certain areas of the maintainability prediction ...

Methodology for the design assurance of aricraft lightning protection systems continued airworthiness

Sweers, G. James (Cranfield University, 2010-09)

This thesis describes a new approach to lightning protection components design by incorporating the use of multiple data sources, aircraft environmental threats models and component characteristics to determine if the ...

Methodology for the design of leading edge devices applied to variable camber

Lajux, Vincent (Cranfield University, 2007-03)

This thesis will describe a new and innovative way of approaching the design of leading edge devices; this done using new tools and state of the art software. This innovative design methodology for leading edge devices ...

More Electric Landing Gear Actuation Study

Li, Wei (Cranfield University, 2009)

This report addresses the problem of landing gear actuation system design on more-electric aircraft (MEA). Firstly, information about more-electric aircraft and more-electric actuators was gathered and sorted. Current ...

Multidisciplinary optimisation of a CFRP wing cover

Phillips, Benjamin John (Cranfield University, 2009)

With the market introduction of both the Airbus A350XWB and the Boeing 787, Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) has been applied to primary structure of large commercial aircraft, as a means of enhancing overall ...

A Novel Airframe Design Methodology For Silent Aircraft

Mistry, Sunil (Cranfield University, 2008)

The impact of noise on civil aviation is not just a localised airport problem, but a global concern, due to the ever-increasing demands for passenger travel. The challenge of designing a ‘Silent Aircraft’ lies within the ...

Propulsion system safety analysis methodology for commercial transport aircraft

Knife, S. (Cranfield University, 1997-09)

Airworthiness certification of commercial transport aircraft requires a safety analysis of the propulsion system to establish that the probability of a failure jeopardising the safety of the aeroplane is acceptably low. ...

Structural and mechanical feasibility study of a variable camber wing (VCW) for a transport aircraft

Macci, S. H. M. (Cranfield University, 1992-08)

Aerodynamic investigations have shown' that variable camber wings (VCW) for transport aircraft have considerable potential in terms of improving aircraft performance and enhancing their operational flexibility. In order ...
