Aerial Vehicle) merupakan kendaraan tanpa awak yang dapat dikendalikan dari jarak jauh dengan atau tanpa seorang pilot. Bentuk yang kecil dan posisi yang jauh dengan pusat kendali menjadi permasalah utama dalam mengoperasikannya, terutama... more
This document is the first annex of an attempted book that maybe never see the day. It contains a summary on the subject of the international standard atmosphere that I couldn't find in the literature and, therefore, I had to develop. The... more
The old flight instruments made by right brothers have only limited flight instruments that to only mechanical devices such as airspeed indicators, oil pressure gauge, fuel tank and single engine. The trend towards modern aircrafts have... more
The basic role played by models of the diarthrodial joints in surgery, in pre-surgical planning and in prosthesis design has been widely stressed in the literature. Different approaches have been proposed to highlight the role of the main... more
Automation is being used extensively in aviation, particularly in the aircrafts themselves. The airline industry benefits from automation because it often increases efficiency and performance. To date, automation research has focused... more
The DFRC is located within Edwards Air Force Base (EAFB) and is 65 miles (105 km) northeast of Los Angeles, California, USA. It is from the DFRC facilities that the two Global Hawk unmanned aircraft are being operated. This section... more
This paper presents an energy-optimal guidance and control strategy for 4-dimensional (4D) Trajectory-Based Operations (TBO) in the descent phase, supporting the development of 4D Human-Machine Interface (HMI) formats. The vertical... more
The aim of this report is to analyze and estimate the aerodynamic force coefficients, longitudinal stability and glide performance of the parafoil/payload system. First, it presents a familiarization with parafoil/payload system by... more
The pintle injectors are one of the most important part also known as propellant injector is used in liquid rocket engines. This injector consists of movable pintle, annular nozzle, fuel injection port and a centre pintle nozzle. The... more

Aspirations of Flight: the Power of Ascent and Descent Imagery (Understanding Aerial Track Dance: The Ungrounded Dream) by Lisa Giobbi 2016 On stage, Lisa Giobbi explores the physicality of the body in anti-gravitational space, and... more
The document details of the modelling of a solar powered glider and the power requirements of the glider in a gliding flight. The model is based on the successful sky sailor powered glider which had achieved 24hr sustained flight. The... more
In this paper design and simulation of enhancements are presented for Cassino Hexapode Walking Machine. Simulation results are reported from kinematic and dynamic analyses of a suitable model for the current design and other proposed... more
ABSTRACT This paper has reported results of an investigation on main possible sources of unbalance in design and manufacturing process of pneumatic tyres. Main characteristics of a tyre, its components, and assembly operations are... more
Sophisticated virtual prototyping methods have become a standard in the modern vehicle design process. Unfortunately, in many cases automobile manufacturers (in particular bus manufacturers) still do not take advantage of numerical design... more
This paper describes a miniaturized model of a small size solar-hydrogen power installation with a reserve electricity source in the form of a fuel cell. The cell was powered with hydrogen generated in the electrolyzer in time periods... more
ABSTRACT In this paper, a numerical-experimental procedure is proposed for an identification of parameters in cam transmissions. Models with lumped parameters are defined specifically for cam transmissions. Experimental tests are carried... more
The aim of this contribution is to propose a suitable design procedure for service robots. In particular, main characteristics and peculiarities of service robots are investigated in order to propose design criteria in the form of... more
