Effect of Personal Space Invasion on Passenger Comfort and Comfort Design of an Aircraft Cabin
Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 Passenger comfort is becoming an important issue with the recent increase in air travel. A common cause of passenger discomfort and distress is the invasion of the passenger’s personal space. This paper presents the results of two studies addressing the environmental psychological characteristics of passengers during personal space invasion (PSI) and ...

Research on Innovative Trim Method for Tiltrotor Aircraft Take‐Off Based on Genetic Algorithm
Journal of Sensors, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 Tiltrotor aircraft possesses redundant actuators in take‐off phase and its flight control is more complicated than ordinary aircraft because the structural and dynamic characteristics keep changing due to tilting rotors. One of the fundamental bases for flight control is trim, which provides steady flight states under various conditions and then ...

Die Blended Wing Body (BWB) Flugzeugkonfiguration [PDF]
, 2010 The Blended Wing Body (BWB) configuration has a potential to reduce weight, if a single shell design is applied (8% better). It has a better glide ratio, L/D (10% to 15% better). However, this was not apparent from the scale model AC20.30.
