Student Research Projects With Industrial Impact
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes six final year undergraduate research projects supported by a collaboration between the Whittle Laboratory at the University of Cambridge and Reaction Engines (RE), a UK aerospace company. The collaboration ...
Super Aggressive S-Ducts for Air Breathing Rocket Engines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Air breathing rocket engines require turbomachinery and ducting that is substantially lighter than that used in ground-based or aerospace gas turbines. In order to reduce the weight of the axial compressor, the design of ...
Design and Analysis of a Liftfan for eVTOL Aircraft
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Ducted liftfans provide greater hovering efficiency to electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft than open propellers of equal disk area. Liftfans are designed with minimized length to limit propulsor weight added ...
Predicting the Operability of Damaged Compressors Using Machine Learning
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The application of machine learning to aerospace problems faces a particular challenge. For successful learning, a large amount of good quality training data is required, typically tens of thousands of cases. However, due ...
