    Extractions: NASA is looking beyond nuclear power as it studies technologies to improve the efficiency of future deep-space missions, with some $70 million tentatively programmed to push technology that uses either nuclear power directly, or supplements it, to get beyond the limitations of chemical propulsion for space science probes. Aerocapture uses friction with an atmosphere to slow a spacecfraft, enabling orbital missions otherwise impractical due to the amount of fuel they would require. In addition to electric propulsion systems that use the power from nuclear reactors to drive spacecraft, the agency's Office of Space Science is studying high-temperature materials and structures to handle the heat of atmospheric braking, and huge solar sails for propulsion. Under a new "In-Space Propulsion" (ISP) program started in the current fiscal year, the office has named engineering teams to push several different technologies to "Technology Readiness Level 6," just short of a system demonstration. "The program is focused on developing advanced propulsion technologies looking at near- and mid-term NASA science missions, primarily," said Paul Wercinski, ISP program executive at NASA headquarters. "What we're trying to do is get these different propulsion technologies to a state of readiness such that when mission priorities get better defined, then the mission planners will have these technologies that they can reach for to use."

    Extractions: T his gallery focuses on the development of jet aviation and related technology. T wo college students in their early twenties, one English and one German were key figures in the development of jet aviation. Flight Cadet Frank Whittle, Royal Air Force College, Cranwell, wrote his final thesis in 1928, when he was 21; it contained the germ of the idea of jet propulsion for aircraft. Hans Joachim Pabst von Ohain began his research on a gas turbine propulsion system in 1933, when he was 22 and in his seventh semester at the University of Goettingen. W orking independently, these men arrived at their chosen goals: building and testing the world's first jet engines for aircraft propulsion. Von Ohain's jet engine flew first, in a Heinkel He 178, on August 27, 1939. Whittle's flew in a Gloster E28/39 on May 15, 1941. In this gallery, giant engines dwarf the visitor, contemporary reminders of their successes.

    Extractions: Sir George Cayley - Making Aviation Practical Sir George Cayley, born in 1773, is sometimes called the “Father of Aviation.” A pioneer in his field, he is credited with the first major breakthrough in heavier-than-air flight. Cayley literally has two great spurts of aeronautical creativity, separated by years during which he did little with the subject. He was the first to identify the four aerodynamic forces of flight —weight, lift, drag, and thrust—and their relationship. He was also the first to build a successful human-carrying glider . Cayley described many of the concepts and elements of the modern airplane and was the first to understand and explain in engineering terms the concepts of lift and thrust. Before him, researchers thought that the propulsion system should generate both lift and forward motion at the same time, as birds were able to do. So they constructed their flying machines with flapping wings (called ornithopters ) to resemble the motion of birds. Cayley realized that the propulsion system should generate thrust but that the wings should be shaped so as to create lift. Finally, Cayley was the first investigator to apply the research methods and tools of science and engineering to the solution of the problems of flight.

    Extractions: By Alphabet : Encyclopedia A-Z J Related Category: Aviation, General The four basic parts of a jet engine are the compressor, turbine , combustion chamber, and propelling nozzles. Air is compressed, then led through chambers where its volume is increased by the heat of fuel combustion. On emergence it spins the compression rotors, which in turn act on the incoming air. In the cumbustion chamber of a jet propulsion engine the combustion of a fuel mixture generates expanding gases, which escape through an orifice to form the jet. Newton's third law of motion requires that the force that causes the high-speed motion of the jet of gas have a reaction force that is equal in magnitude and oppositely directed to push on the jet propulsion engine. Hence the term "reaction motor" is often applied to jet-propulsion engines. The thermal jet engine operates with a continuous blast, but intermittent duct jet propulsion proceeds by a series of pulses, or intermittent explosions. The ramjet, or continuous duct, engine relies on its own forward motion to compress the air that enters it. Although highly efficient, it is designed to operate only after high speed has been attained through the use of some other power source, typically a rocket. The scramjet, or supersonic-combustion ramjet, engine is designed to operate at hypersonic speed (above Mach 5), using hydrogen for fuel; in theory, a scramjet-propelled craft could achieve orbital speed, with an efficiency three times that of liquid- or solid-fuel rockets. In addition, without the need to carry oxygen, an air-breathing, scramjet-powered vehicle can carry a greater payload than a rocket-powered one.

    Extractions: By Alphabet : Encyclopedia A-Z J Related Category: Aviation, General The first reaction engine, the aeolipile (a ball that rotated as a reaction to escaping steam), was constructed by the inventor Heron (or Hero) of Alexandria. Developments through the centuries have resulted in two general types of reaction machines, the true rocket and the airstream engine, commonly known as the jet engine. Unlike a jet engine, a rocket engine carries with it chemicals that enable it to burn its fuel without drawing air from an outside source. Thus a rocket can operate in outer space, where there is no atmosphere. Fritz von Opel, a German automobile manufacturer, made the first flight entirely by rocket power in 1939. The American R. H. Goddard did much of the important pioneer work in modern rocket development. The second category of reaction motor, the jet engine, is a development of the late 18th-century gas turbine engines, which directed combustion gases against the blades of a turbine wheel. Not until 1908 was it suggested that an aircraft could be driven by jet propulsion. RenE Lorin, a French engineer, proposed using a reciprocating engine to compress air, mix it with fuel, and thus propel the aircraft by the pulses of hot gas produced by combustion of the mixture. In 1939 the English engineer Frank

70. Propulsion
    For aviation, propulsion is generally broken into 2 categories airbreathingpropulsion for airplanes and rocket propulsion for spacecraft.

    Extractions: Introduction Propulsion is the science of designing an engine to propel a vehicle forward or up. For aviation, propulsion is generally broken into 2 categories: air-breathing propulsion for airplanes and rocket propulsion for spacecraft. Both work on the principle of pushing high velocity exhaust gases out the back end (reaction thrust principle), but they differ in one significant detail. An air-breathing engine uses the air stream in which the airplane is flying to augment the propulsive abilities of the engine so it can carry less fuel. A rocket engine travels in space where there is no air, and therefore it must carry all its fuel internally. An air-breathing engine will have both an inlet and an exit, while the rocket will be closed in the front and only have an exit. In general, an air-breathing engine will get more thrust for less fuel than a rocket. The forces of flight (lift, drag, weight, and thrust) were discussed in the Fundamentals chapter. Thrust is the forward facing force generated by the engines of the airplane. The air flows into the engine at roughly the flight speed of the airplane, and it exits the engine flowing much hotter and faster. The thrust is computed using the rate of mass flowing through the engine times the difference between the high velocity of the exhaust gases and the original velocity of the air into the inlet. The exhaust gases flow out the back of the engine, causing a reaction force on the airplane, pushing it forward. This concept is called the reaction thrust principle.

    Extractions: While the depiction of an Aurora aircraft seems consistent with the confines of present technological imagination, other SR-71 follow-on prognosticators suggest more alien craft. Aviation Week & Space Technology has proposed a current black aircraft that is something akin to a 1960s Sci-Fi concept. They depict an elongated diamond shaped vehicle (one hesitates to call it an aircraft) similar to a "flattened football." The airframe's dimensions might be 110 x 69 feet. Due to intense heat, the vehicle would have a heat-streaked appearance similar to that of the space shuttle. Contrary to intuition, the aft body would appear distinctly more pockmarked than the fore sections, as if the most intense heat was experienced in this region. This vehicle would have a dual propulsion system. Jet engines buried in the fuselage would propel the vehicle to supersonic speeds, when a novel external burning mechanism would take control as the fundamental propulsion method: "In the high Mach regime, misted fuel is ejected from the fuselage midsection the 'break point' of the elongated diamond across the aft surface tiles, into the area between the fuselage and a shock wave attacked to this break. In essence, the sloping, converging aft fuselage sections form the inside of a 'nozzle' and the shock boundary constitutes the outer surface, creating an expanding exhaust effect, much like that on a conventional rocket. The fuel is ignited by surface heating or other means creating combustion that accelerates the aircraft up to the Mach 6-8 regime."

    Extractions: Aerojet is also exploring applications of the Lyulka Engine Design Bureau's (Saturn Scientific Production Association) cryogenic D-57 engine and of the Khimavtomatiki Design Bureau's cryogenic RD-0120 flown by the Energiya launch vehicle. Energomash is also offering for commercial operations its small restartable RD-0161 liquid oxygen/ kerosene engine. However, by the end of 1994, none of these activities had resulted in a firm decision to employ Russian rocket engine technology in Western launch vehicles (References 340-363) . In 1993 reports did cite a clandestine sale of several RD-170 engines to the PRC (Reference 364) Another Russian space propulsion specialty garnering wide attention in the West is the use of ion thrusters on spacecraft for attitude control and orbital adjustments. Often referred to as Hall thrusters, the low-power, high-endurance, high-efficiency engines produced by the Fakel Design Bureau have been in use on USSR/CISLEO and GEO spacecraft since 1971. A joint Russian-American enterprise named International Space Technology, Inc. (ISTI) was formed to market engines such as the SPT-100. The principal partners of ISTI are Fakel, the Moscow Aviation Institute, and the US firm Loral. SEP of France joined the venture in 1993. In addition to substantial ground testing, ISTI has undertaken in-orbit test programs on both US and Russian spacecraft (References 365-375) (References 376-388) W.
