Presentation Transcript

  1. Aerospace Engineering

  2. Introduction • History of Flight • Wright Brothers (1903) to landing on the Moon (1969) • Key points in flight design

  3. Structures • Object • Light Weight • High Strength • Examples • Wood, Aluminum, Titanium, Composites

  4. Aerodynamics • Object • High lift • Low Drag • Examples • Triplane, Biplane, Mono plane

  5. Propulsion • Objective • High Thrust • Low Weight • Examples • Reciprocating Engines w/ Propeller • TurboJet - gas turbine in which the exhaust gases provide the propulsive thrust • TurboProp - aircraft propulsion unit where a propeller is driven by a gas turbine • TurboFan – Thrust from both exhausting gas and fan blow by. • Ramjet, jet engine in which fuel is burned in a duct using air compressed by the forward speed of the aircraft • Rockets/Scramjet - liquid rocket propulsion for ‘spaceplanes’

  6. Radial Reciprocating Engine Douglas DC-3

  7. TurboJet

  8. TurboProp

  9. TurboFan

  10. RamJet

  11. Flight Dynamics • High Performance • speed, range, altitude, payload • Stable/Maneuverable

  12. Controls • Fly-By-Wire • All Weather Navigation

  13. Type of Wing • Fixed wing airplanes • Cessna • Helicopters • Single central blades • Hughes 500D • Dual blade systems • Chinook • Hybrid • Osprey

  14. Wind tunnel experiments • Airfoil Design • Wing cross sections • Angle of Attack • Turbulence • Lift

  15. Speed of flight • Wind tunnel designs • Subsonic – less then the speed of sound • Speed of sound - 770 mph Mach I • Supersonic – higher than the speed of sound (770 mph) • Hypersonic – Mach 5, air molecules ionize!

  16. Future of Commercial Flight • Concorde - French and British Consortium • Speed - Mach 2.04 (around 1350MPH)

  17. Future of Flight – AirBus(European Consortium) • A 380 • Three Decks • From 550 to 840 seats! • 1.2 million pounds • Largest TurboFan engines • Speed – Mach 0.88 • 15,000 mile range

  18. Boeing • 787 Dreamliner • Speed Mach 0.85 • 400,000 pound (max) • 15,000 mile range • Fuel Efficient

  19. Aerodynamic Forces • A – Lift • B – Thrust • C – Weight • D - Drag

  20. Flying Wing Northrop B-2

  21. Boeing – Future considerations • Blended Body and Wing

  22. Experimental Aircraft designed by SU graduates students
