81. UAH: Research: Aviation And Rocket Propulsion is the goal of ongoing research at UAH, where scientists are designing and testinghardware applicable to a rocketbased combined cycle (RBCC) propulsion system http://www.uah.edu/HTML/Research/ResRev/ARP/story3.html

Controlling gas mix could aid rocket design Getting a spacecraft off the surface of the Earth, through the upper atmosphere and into the blackness of space is no longer a challenge for most industrialized nations. Taking those same steps using a low-cost, single-stage reusable rocket, however, is a new challenge. Meeting that challenge is the goal of ongoing research at UAH, where scientists are designing and testing hardware applicable to a rocket-based combined cycle (RBCC) propulsion system. An RBCC system would use oxygen from the atmosphere during portions of the flight, reducing vehicle weight since the vehicle wouldn't have to carry as much oxidizer. The UAH test program explores means to facilitate greater control over the mixing of gases from turbine and primary rocket exhausts in the RBCC. "We can increase the efficiency of RBCC propulsion systems by how we control the mixing of those gases," says Dr. Clark Hawk, director of UAH's Propulsion Research Center. "We want the mixing of those gases to occur in a very particular way. The hardware we design and the conditions under which it operates will let us exert some measure of control over that mixing." Rockets or missiles using this RBCC technology could be launched horizontally, much like an airplane, or vertically from the ground.

82. UAH: Research: Aviation And Rocket Propulsion When scientists in UAH s propulsion Research Center talk about hot stuff, don tget too excited They re probably referring to using wastewater in spacecraft http://www.uah.edu/HTML/Research/ResRev/ARP/story2.html

Aerospace super soaker is new rocket idea When scientists in UAH's Propulsion Research Center talk about hot stuff, don't get too excited: They're probably referring to using wastewater in spacecraft propulsion. The H O Thermionic Solar Thermal Upperstage Flight - H OTSTUF - is a concept generated by graduate student Jonathon Jones, who came up with the idea of using excess water on spacecraft as a propellant. The water is superheated into steam by concentrated solar energy, then is seeded with particles that are easily ionized, such as potassium. The result of this "seeding" is a conductive gas or plasma, which is accelerated through a thermodynamic nozzle. Such electric propulsion devices using plasma flows can deliver much greater performance than traditional chemical propulsion systems, resulting in lower costs and larger payloads that can be delivered into orbit. Research in UAH's Propulsion Research Center is aimed at developing a basic understanding of how to extract maximum performance from these types of systems. Research scientists at UAH built a vacuum chamber in which to study exhaust plumes from a microwave thruster to see how different kinds of fluids behave in a variety of simulated space environments. Scientists want to determine the performance for different types of gases and compare these with the wastewater-to-steam concept to identify the most attractive approach.

83. Propulsion Control Of Airplanes To the great amazement of aviation officials, the crew managed to bring the of theNational Transportation Safety Board, the propulsion Controlled Aircraft (PCA http://eudoxus.usc.edu/PCA/pca.html

Propulsion Controlled Aircraft In July 1989, the tail engine of the DC-10 of United Airlines Flight 232, enroute from Denver to Minneapolis, sustained a "catastrophic uncontained failure" that created a hail of shrapnel, slicing the hydraulics lines of all three independent systems, leaving the aircraft "marginally controllable" at 37,000 feet. Contrary to the realistically motivated consensus at that time that this flight should have ended in disaster, Captain Al Haynes, with the help of United Captain and DC-10 Flight Instructor Dennis Fitch, quickly improvised a way to keep control of the aircraft by maneuvering the throttles of the remaining wing engines. To the great amazement of aviation officials, the crew managed to bring the aircraft to a crash landing in Sioux City, Iowa, saving the lifes of most of those on board. In the aftermath of the Sioux City accident, and following a recommendation of the National Transportation Safety Board , the Propulsion Controlled Aircraft (PCA) problem emerged as the problem of designing "pilot friendly" back-up control systems that use the engines as only actuators in case of failure of the primary hydraulic control system. NASA Dryden Flight Research Center managed this line of investigation and subcontracted part of the work to various institutions, the University of Southern California among others. In August 1995, the NASA propulsion controlled MD-11 , under the command Test Pilot (and former Space Shuttle Astronaut) Gordon Fullerton, made a smooth landing using wing engine thrust only.

Aviation and the Global Atmosphere Get Javascript Other reports in this collection 7.10. Supersonic Transport Aircraft Supersonic transport aircraft are not new. In the 1960s and early 1970s, there were three major supersonic transport projects in Europe, the United States, and the Soviet Union. Only one of those projects, the Concorde, was completed and continues in revenue service—and only between Western Europe (London and Paris) and the eastern U.S. seaboard (New York and, until recently, Washington). Only 13 of these aircraft are in airline service, including charter operations and demonstration flights. The ground and flight operational acceptability for this type of aircraft has been demonstrated worldwide. The life development of Concorde aircraft now suggests they could continue in service for an additional 10–15 years. The levels of exhaust emissions produced by Concorde’s Olympus engines [EI(NO x ) = 18] is higher than could be achieved now but is commensurate with the design knowledge of the 1960s. With a limited small fleet and an average aircraft utilization of 600 hours per year, these aircraft do not appear to constitute a major environmental concern, although they must be considered in aircraft fleet mix scenarios in view of the Concorde’s higher cruising altitude. The Concorde has already demonstrated the practicality of Mach 2.05 as an achievable cruise speed with aluminum alloys for the basic structure. For speeds above Mach 2.2, more exotic materials would be required including titanium alloys and organic composites for structural items and more complex air intakes. At speeds between Mach 2 and 2.4, airframe characteristics currently dictate cruise altitudes between 16 and 20 km. Optimization studies are planned to investigate lower cruise altitudes, recognizing the potential benefit of minimized ozone impact. To enable the inclusion of route segments over populated areas without sonic booms, an advanced supersonic airliner must also be capable of cruising efficiently in an environmentally acceptable manner at subsonic speeds and lower cruise altitudes.

Fayette Taylor, published by the NATIONAL AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 1971, as Volume 1 Number 4 of their ANNALS OF FLIGHT series. This is the fourth in a series of excellent monographs prepared by members of the staff of the National Air and Space Museum or other experts about items of particular importance in the collection. This was the last issue to be included in a volume; subsequent issues being numbered only. In all ten issues were produced and each is an excellent reference in its field. The book is softbound in white and blue wrappers, measures 8" by 10 1/2" and contains 134 pages. The author was involved with the growth and development of the aircraft engine from 1917 until 1950, and prepared portions of this monograph as a lecture given as the Fourth Lester B. Gardner Lecture, delivered at MIT in 1962. It was revised, expanded and updated to become this volume. Filled with excellent photographs, drawings, diagrams, cutaways and charts of engines from the steam powerplants of the end of the 1800's to the Wright 3350 of the middle of the 1900's, this is an excellent single source for material on the aircraft engine.
