Carbon Performance in Airlines: A Qualitative Comparative Analysis of Institutional and Firm‐Level Drivers

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Air transport is one of the fastest‐growing sources of greenhouse gas emissions, yet it remains one of the most difficult sectors to decarbonize. The sector's climate impact is amplified by two factors: the steady rise in passenger demand and the absence of commercially viable low‐carbon technologies for long‐haul flights.

Conceptual design synthesis of fighter aircraft

open access: yes, 2020
The aim of this thesis is to analyze the effects of initial engine scaling (using a competitor aircraft aerodynamic performance) on fighter aircraft conceptual design activities. A design synthesis including engine scaling, configuration development, fixed aircraft analysis, fixed wing aircraft sizing and optimization methodology has been developed ...

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

A computer module used to calculate the horizontal control surface size of a conceptual aircraft design [PDF]

open access: yes
The creation of a computer module used to calculate the size of the horizontal control surfaces of a conceptual aircraft design is discussed. The control surface size is determined by first calculating the size needed to rotate the aircraft during ...

Highly Dynamic Soft Electrohydraulic Origami Actuators for Agile and Multimodal Robotic Locomotion

open access: yesSmartBot, EarlyView.
Most current soft robots still lag far behind their natural counterparts in both agility and speed, mainly attributed to the limited morphing modes and performance of soft actuators. Here, the authors report a new methodology of electrohydraulic origami (EHO) for creating powerful and multimodal soft actuators with large strain, high speed, lightweight,

Resource reallocation across successive systemic innovations: How Rolls‐Royce shaped the evolution of the turbojet, turboprop, and turbofan

open access: yesStrategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Despite the importance of resource reallocation in shaping a variety of strategic outcomes, strategy scholars have paid only limited attention to the processes by which firms reallocate their resources across successive systemic innovations.
