Syllabus Professor Crossley Spring 2004 SYLLABUS [Course Description] [Course Goals] [Policies] [Course Materials] ... [Homepage] - Syllabus - [Schedule] [Design Project] [Links and Resources] Course Description This course will offer students the opportunity to conduct a series of aircraft system design studies, starting from a basic opportunity description. Students will work in teams to develop the system requirements, define the overall architecture of an aircraft, conduct sizing and trade studies to determine the most promising aircraft design, and begin to perform additional detailed definition of the aircraft, as time permits. The course will be conducted in a manner that will replicate actual industry conceptual design studies as closely as possible. The Spring 2004 class will focus upon providing point-to-point service on transatlantic city pair routes using low capacity aircraft. Studies will investigate how formation flight and morphing aircraft may improve upon the point-to-point service. More details are available on the design project page.

Your browser does not support script Tornado F3 Based around the Tornado GR1 airframe, the F3 was developed for the RAF as a long-range interceptor to replace the ageing Phantom, protecting the the North Sea and Atlantic approaches during the Cold War. The first Tornado air defence aircraft was flown in October 1979 and subsequently entered service as the Tornado F2 with No. 229 OCU at Coningsby. These first aircraft used the same RB199 Mk103 engines as the GR1 and did not initially have a radar fitted. From 1986, the F3 was delivered to front line units, the first being No.29 Sqn, Coningsby. The Tornado F3 is a 2 crew, variable geometry aircraft and is powered by 2 Rolls Royce / Turbo Union RB199 Mk 104 afterburning turbofans producing thrust of upto 33,000lbs to a speed of 1,480mph. Fuel is stored in integral tanks in the wings, fuselage and tail fin, as well as in underwing tanks. The Foxhunter radar provides an all-weather capability, allowing the use of beyond visual range weapon systems. Originally equipped with four Skyflash radar-guided medium range missiles and four AIM-9L Sidewinder infra-red homing air-to-air missiles, the F3 can now be fitted with Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAMs) and Advanced Short-Range Air-to-Air Missiles (ASRAAMs). The aircraft also has an internally-mounted 27mm Mauser cannon on the right hand side of the forward fuselage, along with chaff dispensers and flares for protection from anti-aircraft missiles.

Home Military World Europe ... Aircraft TORNADO (BAe) References Tornado GR.1 (IDS) / F.3 (ADV) Delights from the Garden Of Eden A Cookbook and a History of the Iraqi Cuisine Designed and built as a collaborative project in the UK, Germany and Italy, the Tornado is in service with all three air forces and the German Navy. Tornado is also in service in Saudi Arabia and Oman. It is a twin-seat, twin-engined, variable geometry aircraft and is supersonic at all altitudes. The design authority for the Tornado is Panavia, the tri-national consortium which comprises British Aerospace, DASA of Germany and the Italian firm Alenia. The wings of the the aircraft are high-mounted, variable, swept-back, and tapered with angular, blunt tips. There are two turbofan engines inside the body. The air intakes are diagonal and box-like alongside the fuselage forward of the wing roots. There are twin exhausts. The fuselage is solid and has a needle nose. The body thickens midsection and tapers to the tail section. There is a bubble cockpit. The tail is tall, swept-back, and has a tapered fin with a curved tip and a step in the leading edge. The flats are large, mid-mounted on the body, swept-back, and tapered with blunt tips. The Tornado GR1 strike/attack aircraft is capable of carrying a wide range of conventional stores, including the JP233 anti-airfield weapon, the ALARM anti-radar missile, and laser-guided bombs, as well as the WE-177 nuclear variable-yield free-fall bomb, first introduced into service in 1966. The last WE-177 was withdrawn from service in 1998. The reconnaissance version, designated the GR1A, retains the full operational capability of the GR1. The GR1B, equipped with Sea Eagle air-to-surface missiles, undertakes the anti-surface shipping role. For self-defence, the Tornado carries Sidewinder air-to-air missiles and is fitted with twin internal 27mm cannons.

Tornado, Panavia Photo by Evert J. van Koningsveld. Multi-role aircraft developed and built in cooperation with Germany and Italy. It is a compact twin-engined variable-geometry aircraft. The Tornado was also the first production military aircraft with flight-by-wire controls. There are strike-attack (IDS), air defence (ADV) and electronic warfare (ECR) versions. The ADV has an elongated nose. The original contractors bought 933 aircraft, but production is still underway for Saudi-Arabia. The IDS version is considered a very effective attack aircraft, but the ADV has been critized because it is a long-range interceptor with little capacity for dogfights. British IDS Tornadoes will be upgraded to GR.4 configuration. The loss of six Tornadoes during the 1992 Gulf War resulted in a storm of criticisim, most of it unjustified.

All armament, apart from the two 27mm Mauser cannon, was carried externally and stores included typically eight 1,000lb bombs under fuselage, two 330 gal tanks on inner and pylons and generally a BOZ-107 chaff/flare dispenser and Sky Shadow jamming pod on outer pylons. There is provision for in-flight refuelling on the starboard side of the forward fuselage but the probe needs to be fitted semi-recessed as needed. The first production aircraft was ZA319 which flew on 10 July 1979 and service entry was with the unique Tri-National Tornado Training Establishment (TTTE) at Cottesmore in July 1980. The first operational unit to form on the Tornado was 9 Sqn early in 1982.

11. Patent Descriptions to an article done by the British magazine Aircraft Illustrated, the Pentagon was faxed a copy of this forward swept wing variable geometry aircraft and the http://www.aleinn.com/black_projects/patent.htm

Patent Descriptions Looking through the United States Patent and Trademark Office , i found quite a few aircraft designs relating to northrop and Lockheed over the past several years. Some of you may have already seen some of these patent drawings on other websites and publications. Please be patient in loading time, there are quite a few files on this page and so some systems may take a while longer to load than others. Looking at some of the dates of when these were patented and filed, they are new programs. Some of course are probably cancelled even before they start properly designing it, others, like some of which you will see here may well be flying, as some eye witness reports suggest this. All descriptions are below each image: Starting off with Northop Grumman Patents: Patent:- 5,984,231 Forward Swept Wing Aircraft Details: Patent was issued on November 16th 1999. Assignee: Northop Corporation. This design has got to be the most fascinating to come out of the patents we shall look at here. Several witnesses have come forward to me saying they seen an aircraft with forward swept wings flying in southern Nevada and also Eastern California. Without photo evidence its hard to get the jist of what exactly they saw but looking at the patent above, we might get an idea.

Back to Aircraft Types Index Page Shenyang J-8 Shenyang J-8-II (photo, credit unknown) Main Role: Single-seat multi-role fighter Country of Origin: China (PRC) Current Status: In Service, Under Development The J-8 (Chinese name Jianjiji-8 (Fighter Aircraft 8) or Jian-8) was the subject of an advanced fighter programme that started in China in the late 1960s. The J-8 was the first PLAAF aircraft of domestic design. The overall configuration is a straightforward enlargement of the MiG-21/J-7 layout to accommodate two engines. Although it resembled Mikoyan’s experimental Ye-152A, contrary to some reports, it was not based on that aircraft. Production began in December 1979, with about 100 aircraft of the first configuration entering service. The J-8 is a delta-wing aircraft with vertical tail surfaces similar to late-production MiG-21s. It also incorporates technology gleaned from the Soviet MiG-23 variable geometry aircraft. Design work on the improved J-8-II began in 1980, with production beginning in the late 1980s. The J-8-II has a completely new front end with much larger radar and ventral inlets, along with other less obvious improvements. The improved aircraft was comparable in aerodynamic performance to the Soviet Su-15 "Flagon".

© Iain Murray 2003 - 18 th November 2003) PUBLIC LECTURE - Report The Public Lecture "Sir Barnes Wallis - one of the 20th Century's Greatest Engineers" by Mr. Norman Boorer OBE ( Brooklands Museum , Weybridge, Surrey) held on Tuesday 21 October 2003, was attended by an eager audience of around 250 members of the public. They heard Mr Boorer talk for over an hour-and-a-half about Sir Barnes Wallis (his long-term colleague), and describe his famous "dambusting" bomb, and also some of Wallis' lesser-known projects. The talk was illustrated by some rare photographs from the speaker's own collection, video clips of tests of the "bouncing" bombs and some of the swing-wing aircraft, and rounded off with a recording of Wallis himself. Speaker Norman Boorer (centre) prior to his lecture, with (from left to right) Norman Boorer worked in aeronautics for fifty years, much of it alongside Barnes Wallis himself. Initially a craftsman, he became a draughtsman and designer on various Vickers aircraft, also working on the “dambusting” bomb and the later “earthquake” bombs during the war. From 1945 he worked on swing-wing aircraft, rising to Chief Project Engineer and eventually Executive Assistant to the Chairman of BAC. Since his retiral in 1981, he has been a voluntary consultant at the Brooklands Museum, home to a complete Wellington recovered from Loch Ness in 1985 and several examples of Wallis’s bombs. The range of Wallis' work covered in the lecture included:

This slide gives technical definitions of a wing's geometry, which is one of the chief factors affecting airplane lift and drag. The terminology is used throughout the airplane industry and is also found in the FoilSim interactive airfoil simulation program developed here at NASA Glenn. Actual aircraft wings are complex three-dimensional objects, but we will start with some simple definitions. The figure shows the wing viewed from three directions; the upper left shows the view from the top looking down on the wing, the lower left shows the view from the front looking at the wing leading edge, and the right shows a side view from the left looking in towards the centerline. The side view shows an airfoil shape with the leading edge to the left. Top View The top view shows a simple wing geometry, like that found on a light general aviation aircraft. The front of the wing (at the bottom) is called the leading edge ; the back of the wing (at the top) is called the trailing edge . The distance from the leading edge to the trailing edge is called the chord , denoted by the symbol c . The ends of the wing are called the wing tips , and the distance from one wing tip to the other is called the span , given the symbol s . The shape of the wing, when viewed from above looking down onto the wing, is called a
