Validation of modeling methodology and investigation of mass addition effects on evolution of trace species in post-combustor flow path
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003) -
Valuation techniques for commercial aircraft program design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)This research considers the commercial aircraft design process from the perspective of program value. Whereas traditionally, the conceptual design of aircraft has often focused on minimum weight, or sometimes minimum cost, ... -
Valuation techniques for complex space systems : an analysis of a potential satellite servicing market
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002) -
Value chain concept for power electronics based products
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Integration of renewable energy, general decentralization of generating power and a high degree of automation may trigger a technological change in grid infrastructure, away from electromechanical products and towards more ... -
Value creation in the product development process
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002) -
Value network modeling : a quantitative method for comparing benefit across exploration architectures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)In the design of complex systems serving a broad group of stakeholders, it can be difficult to prioritize objectives for the architecture. I postulate that it is possible to make architectural decisions based on consideration ... -
Value of information based distributed inference and planning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)In multi-agent applications it is often the case that not all information is equally valuable to the missions, and agents are typically resource limited. Therefore it is important to ensure that the resources are spent on ... -
Value proposition analysis for medium- and heavy- lift cargo unmanned aircraft systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)The majority of current unmanned aircraft system (UAS) research is focusing on small UAS operations at low altitude over rural and underpopulated areas. There is a gap in research about UAS greater than 55 pounds. The first ... -
Value stream analysis and mapping for product development
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)This thesis explores of Value Stream Analysis and Mapping (VSA/M) as applied to Product Development (PD) efforts. It contains three parts: the background and history of PD VSA/M, a report of the current PD VSA/M practices ... -
Value-based multidisciplinary optimization for commercial aircraft program design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Traditional commercial aircraft design attempts to achieve improved performance and reduced operating costs by minimizing maximum takeoff weight, but this approach (does not guarantee the financial viability of the program ... -
Variations in party line information requirements for flight crew situation awareness in the datalink environment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994) -
Varying tether lengths for modifying orbital eccentricities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1985) -
The VAT tool : automatic transformation of VHDL to timed automata
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Embedded systems have become an integral part of the systems we use today. These types of systems are constrained by both stringent time requirements and limited resource availability. Traditionally, high-integrity embedded ... -
Vehicle concept exploration and avionics architecture design for a fast package delivery system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)Fast Package Delivery was explored as a possible commercial application of advanced reusable launch vehicle technologies. The market was divided into two distinct segments: an on-demand charter service for urgent deliveries, ... -
A vehicle design and optimization model for on-demand aviation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)On-demand aviation refers to an envisaged air taxi service, using small, autonomous, vertical-takeoff-and-landing, battery-powered electric aircraft. A conceptual design and optimization tool for on-demand aviation is ... -
Vehicle design, flight control avionics, and flight tests for the Parent and Child Unmanned Air Vehicle
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)The Parent and Child Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (PCUAV) is the second project to originate from the MIT / Draper Technology Development Partnership, which aims to develop first-of-a-kind systems. The PCUAV proposes a low-cost ... -
Vehicle egomotion estimation using computer vision
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)A vision based navigation alter is developed for application on UAVs and tested in simulation. This alter is meant to allow the UAV to navigate in GPS-denied environments using measurements from a suite of cameras. The ... -
A vehicle health monitoring system for the space shuttle reaction control system during reentry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Vehicle health monitoring using stochastic constraint suspension
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Autonomous vehicle health monitoring (VHM) has been identified as a high priority technology for future space exploration in NASA's 2012 technology roadmap. Traditional VHM approaches are often designed for a specific ... -
