Inferential measurement of aerodynamic forces for use in wing divergence analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1959)
Evaluation of aircraft performance algorithms in Federal Aviation Administration's Integrated Noise Model
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
The Integrated Noise Model (INM) has been the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) standard tool since 1978 for determining the predicted noise impact in the vicinity of airports. A review of the aircraft performance ...
Analysis of mixing and thrust diagnostics for shock tunnel hot nozzle testing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
Transient testing of hot engine exhaust nozzle flows is being pursued to enable cost and time savings of one to two orders of magnitude over steady-state hot-flow testing. This thesis presents the design and assessment of ...
Performance study of flight deck interface systems for air traffic control-pilot data link communications (CPDLC)
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
In an effort to reduce saturation in voice radio channels and to take advantage of space-based communication technologies in a cost-effective basis, data link communication between the flight deck and air traffic control ...
The parent-child unmanned air vehicle concept study
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
The Parent Child Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (PCUAV) concept was developed within the context of the MIT Draper Technology Development Partnership Project. A desire at Draper Laboratory to build a fixed wing surveillance ...
Analysis of nonlinear electroelastic continua with electric conduction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
This thesis presents the nonlinear theory for large deformation electroelastic continua with electric conduction. This theory is suitable for modeling actuator and sensor devices composed of deformable, electromechanically ...
Micrometeroid, orbital debris, and shielding analysis for the Soft X-ray Camera (SXC) of the High Energy Transient Explorer (HETE-2) spacecraft
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
The High Energy Transient Explorer (HETE-2) is a scientific spacecraft that will carry out a multi-wavelength study to determine the origin and nature of cosmic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The Soft X-ray Camera (SXC) is the ...
Application of signal analysis techniques to cardiac arrhythmia detection and classification.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1976)
Microfabricated refractory ceramic structures for micro turbomachinery
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
The MIT Microengine Project was initiated in 1995 as a joint effort between the Gas Turbine Laboratory (GTL) and Microsystems Technology Laboratory (MTL) to develop a MEMS-based micro-gas turbine engine. The thermodynamic ...
Design, assembly, and test of the launch and flight support and deployment system for a gun launched reconnaissance vehicle
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
