A Rotary Wing System for Micro Air Vehicle Applications. Part 1

The goal of the paper is to propose a new type of ornithopter that avoids the mechanical difficulties of a flapping system. It uses a modified design of a cycloidal propulsor. The modification regards the special setting...

Local correlations for flap gap oscillatory blowing active flow control technology

Active technology for oscillatory blowing in the flap gap has been tested at INCAS subsonic wind tunnel in order to evaluate this technology for usage in high lift systems with active flow control. The main goal for this...

Constant-Power Engines in Flights to L[sub]4[/sub] point of the Earth-Moon System

The transfer is studied in the context of the classical Circular Restricted Three-Body Problem. The initial state is on a geosinchronous orbit and the terminal state is the L4 triangular Lagrangian point. The use of cont...

Regarding the perturbed operating process of DB propellant rocket motor at extreme initial grain temperatures

Despite many decades of study, the combustion instability of several DB propellants is still of particular concern, especially at extreme grain temperature conditions of rocket motor operating. The purpose of the first p...
