A method for reducing parasite drag of medium transport helicopter

Авіаційно-космічна техніка та технологія, 2023
At present, more and more stringent emission requirements are being imposed on helicopters. Carbon dioxide emissions are a function of fuel consumption, and fuel consumption is directly dependent on the power required for a helicopter cruise flight.

Design Challenges to Expand the Functionality of Drones: Deformable Rotorcraft and Nature‐Inspired Flapping Drones

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review systematically analyzes deformable drones, including extendable, foldable, and tilting configurations, along with nature‐inspired flapping rotorcraft. By classifying deformation principles and structural mechanisms, design trade‐offs, functional capabilities, and future development potential are highlighted.

Slip‐Adaptive Neural Control of Gecko‐Inspired Adhesive Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a neural adhesion controller to improve the stability of gecko‐inspired climbing robots. By integrating an echo state network and a multilayer perceptron, the system utilizes joint torque feedback to accurately estimate adhesion in both normal and shear directions and predict slips. This enables effective recovery from slip events,

Effect of Bearing Support Parameters on the Radial and Angular Deformation of Rotor Shaft Gear Based on CRDRS Support Configuration with Intermediate Bearing Support

Machines
The rotor shaft is a critical component responsible for transmitting engine power to the helicopter’s rotor. Deformation of the rotor shaft can affect the meshing performance of the output stage gears in the main gearbox, thereby affecting load transfer ...

Uncovering Archaeological Treasures at Saruq al‐Hadid, UAE: Insights From Ground Penetrating Radar and Magnetic Data

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Saruq al‐Hadid, located at the edge of the Rub Al‐Khali desert near Dubai's southern border with Abu Dhabi, is among the region's richest archaeological sites. Renowned for its historical role in metallurgy, trade and human habitation, the site was occupied from the Umm an‐Nar period through the post–Iron Age. Despite its significance, much of

Risk‐aware safe reinforcement learning for control of stochastic linear systems

Asian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents a risk‐aware safe reinforcement learning (RL) control design for stochastic discrete‐time linear systems. Rather than using a safety certifier to myopically intervene with the RL controller, a risk‐informed safe controller is also learned besides the RL controller, and the RL and safe controllers are combined together ...
