The MPC has a fast response to dynamic changes and able to deal with multivariable and constraints applied to inputs and states. The studied MEA system is investigated during a transient condition of severe step-load changes (from no-load to full-load) and fault scenarios. The MPC control takes into consideration the verification of aircraft standards during transient and fault conditions for the AC and DC voltages within the aircraft distribution system. The performance of the studied MEA is improved compared to other control techniques such as FLC and PID controllers. The power quality of the studied system under MPC is compared to FLC and PID and it is found the superiority of the MPC regarding overshoot/undershoot, ripples, settling time and harmonic contents. Moreover, the obtained results verify the capability and efficiency of MPC control during severe conditions of large step-load and fault scenarios inside the MEA by verifying the aircraft standards during all operating conditions.","PeriodicalId":14462,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Aerospace Engineering","volume":"25 1","pages":"31-41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88436648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, UAV users are demanding of small, unprepared field or even no field for the aircraft to take off and landing operation. Aligned for the needs, several studies revealed the feasibility of rotating cylinders produced lifting which will impact the improvement of on lift coefficient. Magnus effect on rotating cylinder has the potential as a good lift generator. The studies have discovered the limitation on implementation discovered caused by induced and parasite drag occurrences. Accordingly, rotational rate, α, and Reynold number, Re, are the highlight in this study. The previous experimental and numerical data were used as a basis to compare the results. The methodological approach used for this research in order to prove the presence of Magnus effect, Finite Element Numerical Analysis method in form of 2D numerical is chosen and the simulation done by using ANSYS FLUENT R15.0 to examine the coefficient of lift, drag and understand the aerodynamic characteristics of the rotating cylinder surfaced body. Previous experimental studies carried out by Elliott G. Reid simulated on-design in 2D numerical analysis for validation. The results obtained showed 90.6% accuracy for the validation where the cylinder size to be tested was smaller compared to on-design size. The cylinder size of 30mm as adapted to J. Seifert studies on Magnus effect is used to compare the original size of 114.3mm where the Reynold number tested at the range of 1.17×103 ≤ Re ≤ 1.69×105 with rotational rate ranging from 0 ≤ α ≤ 4.32 determined by air velocity range within 5 ms-1 ≤ U ≤ 15 ms-1. Lift coefficient, CL and drag coefficient, CD determined in every stage analysis were recorded. The results obtained showed that the lift coefficient is slightly lower compared to the original size of cylinder at U are 5ms-1, 7ms-1, 10 ms-1 and 15 ms-1. However, the drag coefficient showed higher value U of 15 ms-1 and 10 ms-1 but lower at U of 5 ms-1 and 7 ms-1.","PeriodicalId":14462,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Aerospace Engineering","volume":"2015 1","pages":"208-215"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89058280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Limiting tabs of rectangular, triangular and circular-arc geometries with 5% blockage are placed along major and minor axis at the nozzle exit are tested for nozzle pressure ratio from 4 to 8 in steps of one. All the tabs are found to be efficient mixing promoter at all tested NPRs, when placed along major axis at the nozzle exit. However at NPR 4 and 5 circular-arc tab along minor axis is found to retard the near field jet mixing. But the corrugated rectangular tab along minor axis is found to be the best mixing promoter among tested geometries. It causes a maximum reduction of 89% in core length at NPR 6. The corresponding core length reduction for corrugated triangular and circular-arc tab is 78% and 84% respectively. The maximum reduction in core length obtained for corrugated triangular and circular arc tab is found when placed along major axis at the exit of elliptical nozzle. The shadowgraph pictures of the jet reveal that the waves prevailing in the elliptic jet controlled with corrugated limiting tabs along major axis are significantly weaker than those in uncontrolled and controlled (with tabs along minor axis) elliptic jet.","PeriodicalId":14462,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Aerospace Engineering","volume":"26 1","pages":"180-194"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83265020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this case, the loss of control is a typical emergency situation from which a pilot should be able to recover, but often he/she doesn’t do owing to problems of situation awareness. A new instrument, based on the use of accelerometers/GPS equipping modern handheld devices has been designed, virtually tested in flight simulators and finally tested in flight. Attention has been given to show essential information in a very simple and intuitive way, so that the instrument can be useful in case of pilot disorientation, panic or high stress levels. After a testing phase, the instrument showed useful to provide an indication about the attitude of the plane and to provide the pilot an indication of the stick and throttle movements needed to restore a safe levelled flight. The use of this application by pilots in emergency situation can enhance the survivability in Instrument Meteorological Conditions also without a specific training. This paper shows how the high computation capability and advanced visualization devices typical of smartphones can be useful to increase the flight safety by developing a new class of emergency not-certified instruments. A further testing phase of the instrument in critical conditions like gusty environment or deteriorated weather will be carried out as a future development of this work to better evaluate the limits of the instrument herein described.","PeriodicalId":14462,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Aerospace Engineering","volume":"27 10 1","pages":"144-151"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84653111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
