Predicting constraint point loads for a vehicle towed along a fixed path
(2020-12)
Towing a vehicle along a fixed path is useful in automation processes. Understanding the forces involved while towing a vehicle is critical for the design of the towing system. For aircraft in particular, careful measures ...
Turboprop performance and acoustic evaluation for a small unmanned aircraft variable-cycle engine
(2019-05)
Range and endurance of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) driven by gas turbine engines are constrained by high thrust specific fuel consumption (TSFC) resulting from low overall efficiency. This study evaluates the ...
Efficacy of SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation for use in thermal management and propulsion systems cooling of unmanned aircraft systems
(2021-05)
As the capabilities of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) expand, optimizing the thermal management designs become increasingly important. SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation is a powerful and accessible tool that has the potential ...
