FEC design for remote control and data transmission of aeronautic and astronautic vehicles
Abstract This paper focuses on the advanced Forward Error Correction (FEC) based on Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes for remote control and data transmission of Aeronautic and Astronautic Vehicles (AAV). It shows that the nontransparent LDPC codes with odd row weights are able to resist phase inversion with a small computational overhead. To the

Conceptual Design and Cost Estimate of a Subsonic NASA Testbed Vehicle (NTV) for Aeronautics Research [PDF]
A conceptual design and cost estimate for a subsonic flight research vehicle designed to support NASA's Environmentally Responsible Aviation (ERA) project goals is presented. To investigate the technical and economic feasibility of modifying an existing aircraft, a highly modified Boeing 717 was developed for maturation of technologies supporting the ...
