Fuels for Aircraft Engines [PDF]

open access: possibleThe Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society, 1935
It is unnecessary to enlarge on the importance of the fuels used in aviation in a paper before this Society. Not only is fuel quality the most important individual factor to be considered in the economics of civil aviation, but engine development, aircraft design and performance depend upon it.An apology is offered, in view of the title of the paper ...

Engines for agricultural aircraft [PDF]

open access: possibleThe Aeronautical Journal, 1977
This paper has been written at rather short notice, which has prevented me from going into statistics and detailed figures, as I would have wished. It is therefore given fairly broad brush treatment and concentrates mainly on the larger types of crop-spraying aircraft in the category of around 6/7000 lb all up weight. This is where the engine situation

Optics in aircraft engines

Proceedings of the IEEE 1991 National Aerospace and Electronics Conference NAECON 1991, 2002
The authors describe optical IR&D (independent research and development) programs designed to demonstrate and evaluate optical technologies for incorporation into next-generation military and commercial aircraft engines. Using a comprehensive demonstration program to validate this technology in an on-engine environment, problems encountered can be ...

Aerodynamic aspects of engine-aircraft integration of transport aircraft

Aerospace Science and Technology, 1997
The contribution highlights different aspects of engine-airframe integration and summarizes areas of concern for engine installation such as, engine development trends, turbofan integration with respect to advanced engine concepts, programmes and investigations on propeller integration, application of theoretical methods in particular with respect to ...

Space and the Aircraft Engineer

Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 1987
EARTH is in space and it is no more extraordinary for man to use space to look down on Earth, as for centuries he has used Earth to scan the stars. Contrary to popular belief, man took to space and utilised it just as soon as he was given the means. When did the space age begin?

Aircraft-Engine Torque Instruments

Transactions of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, 1944
Flight-operations experience has shown that significant improvements in fuel economy may be obtained through the use of aircraft-engine torque instruments as regular flight instruments. This paper describes the better-known types of torque instruments and introduces a new type that has recently come through its development stage.

Computing machines in aircraft engineering [PDF]

open access: possiblePapers and discussions presented at the Dec. 10-12, 1951, joint AIEE-IRE computer conference: Review of electronic digital computers on - AIEE-IRE '51, 1951
A critical evaluation of computing machinery is given from the viewpoint of the aeronautical engineer. The machines' limitations are presented together with suggestions to make them more useful in the aircraft industry.

Alloy design for aircraft engines

Nature Materials, 2016
Metallic materials are fundamental to advanced aircraft engines. While perceived as mature, emerging computational, experimental and processing innovations are expanding the scope for discovery and implementation of new metallic materials for future generations of advanced propulsion systems.
