Mobile ground test rig for evaluating small-scale turbojet in-flight performance and start reliability
(2021-05)
This paper presents the design and analysis of a mobile ground test rig for small-scale turbojet engines to simulate in-flight start reliability for design changes aimed at increasing the performance of the engine. One of ...
Information aware flight path design for flow field estimation and performance investigation of active flow control aircraft controllers
(2022-12)
This thesis discusses the feasibility and performance of implementing a COTS reciprocating piston compressor for a developed active flow control (AFC) actuation framework to quantify the aerospace-relevant performance ...
Trajectory Optimization of Meteorological Sampling
(2019-07)
Swarming involves controlling multiple unmanned aerial systems or UAS in formation through the use of controls and algorithms. Swarm systems may be distributed and not rely on a central controller. As a result, this gives ...
Design and construction of a hydronic conditioning loop for a psychrometric testing facility
(2019-12)
Heat exchanger effectiveness is a major contributor to overall system performance, yet heat exchangers are often the least understood component of the cycle. The major contributing factor to the current gap in heat exchanger ...
Investigation of a tilt-wing proof of concept for a high-speed VTOL jet UAV using thrust vectoring for balance
(2022-12)
Success of Special operations forces (SOF) missions depends on a high level of situational awareness within sensitive areas of interest, especially when arriving in volatile, sensitive environments. Oftentimes intelligence, ...
