PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to optimize the downrange for hypersonic
boost‐glide (HBG) missile under near‐real condition, and to validate the
suitability of proposed wall cooling materials.Design/methodology/approachThe
trajectory optimization problem is characterized by a boost phase followed by a
glide phase. A multi‐phase trajectory optimization tool is adopted to optimize
the downrange... hiện toàn bộ
The mechanism of stress formation in glass under‐going conditions of rapid
cooling, and the factors affecting the properties of the toughened glass
produced are discussed. The application of techniques for measuring the
temperature of glass, to the control and study of the toughening process are
described.
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to apply a factorization‐based control
system design procedure to design of auto‐pilot
systems.Design/methodology/approachThe design approach is based on a previously
developed factorization‐based control system design procedure. The design
approach requires a stable coprime factorization of the plant, a set of stable
coprime factors that are solutions to the Be... hiện toàn bộ
The Airworthiness Division of the Civil Aviation authority published the
following Blue Papers which constitute amendments to British Civil Airworthiness
Requirements effective from 1st August 1979.
GREAT progress has been made in recent years in both fields of aircraft design
and manufacture. No longer is the designer completely in the dark regarding the
operational loads his aircraft will have to sustain, nor completely ignorant of
the capabilities of its structure. Progress has brought knowledge of the sort of
operational load likely to be encountered in both flight and landing operations

TWO incidents are described, both involving bleed air ducts but in dissimilar
aircraft with different engines. One incident concerned a Boeing 747–136 in
which at just after the decision speed V1. a loud ‘bang’ was heard followed by
severe vibration from all four thrust levers. The take‐off was continued
normally and the aircraft rotated normally at Vr and entered the climb. The
landing gear was n... hiện toàn bộ
AS its name implies this type of display presents information to the pilot in
his normal head‐up field of view. The display is focused at infinity to appear
superimposed upon the pilot's view ahead of the aircraft. The pilot need not
remove his gaze from the view ahead of the aircraft in order to obtain data
about the aircraft's performance. With conventional instruments there is a
significant del... hiện toàn bộ
THE change from the parallel wings of the now obsolescent biplane to the tapered
wings of the monoplane, usually fitted with flaps, raised a great number of
problems, both aerodynamic and structural. Work on these has been pursued
vigorously during the past few years, but the designer is still some
considerable distance from having all his questions answered. For instance,
further information is r... hiện toàn bộ
