Analysis of Carrier-Based Aircraft Catapult Launching Based on Variable Topology Dynamics

Applied Sciences, 2021
The catapult process of a carrier-based aircraft includes multiple links such as catapult tensioning, separation of the holding rod, dragging and running, separation of the catapult and drag shuttle, and free running. The connection relationships between

Toward an Improved Understanding of the Antarctic Coastal Zone and Its Contribution to Future Global Sea Level

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding the coastal zone of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), where it interacts with the Southern Ocean and warmer air masses, is crucial for predicting Antarctica's influence on the global climate and sea level. This region has multiple tipping mechanisms that could trigger large, rapid, and potentially irreversible changes in the AIS ...

Shimmy in a nonlinear model of an aircraft nose landing gear with non-zero rake angle [PDF]

, 2008
This work concentrates on the lateral oscillations in vehicles, also called shimmy, with a particular emphasis on aircraft. A mathematical model of a nose landing gear is discussed with geometric detail that has been mostly neglected in the past research.

On 3‐MMC: A Cathinone I Have Come to Know and Love

Anthropology of Consciousness, Volume 37, Issue 2, Fall 2026.
ABSTRACT This article attempts to complicate the mythology of a compound in a state of becoming. I will trace lightly its origins as a cultural disruptor and how I am implicated in this imperative. Introducing you to 3‐MMC will require multiple modes of storytelling and taking of liberties, drawing on literature reviews, practice‐based research, prose,

Dynamic analysis of nose landing gear shimmy considering hydraulic damping characteristics

Xibei Gongye Daxue Xuebao
Large and medium-sized aircraft widely employ nose wheel hydraulic steering systems to achieve steering control and shimmy suppression. The damping characteristic of the steering system is the core factor for effective shimmy control of the nose landing ...

A Fanciful Look at Air Carrier Operations in the Year 2050

Journal of Aviation/Aerospace Education & Research, 2002
Captain Lance Boyle smiled as he felt the smooth rippling thunk of the landing gear tires meeting the runway. Now that was how aircraft should land, not this vertical takeoff and landing nonsense employed by the newest "planes," still called that even ...

Dream is an offshore flame: Notes on archaeology and belonging

Anthropology and Humanism, Volume 51, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Set within an archaeology lab in Dunedin, Aotearoa, this creative non‐fiction piece traces the search for dwelling through the meticulous, repetitive labor of everyday practice. The narrative finds belonging not as a static identity, but as a continuous, tactile engagement with the material world.

Unfixing Place: Time and Value in the Anthropology of Food

Culture, Agriculture, Food and Environment, Volume 48, Issue 1, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Although many anthropologists have engaged with the political and economic work of “place” in qualifying and working with food, time has rarely featured substantively in the economic and political life of the comestible. Gathering themes from my ethnographic research in Northern Italy and excavation time in anthropological scholarship on food,

Anti‐Astrotropik — Outer space, technology and resistance in the tropics

Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 289-316, May 2026.
This paper traces an intellectual and geographical arc of thinking about outer space in the tropics, connecting Peter Redfield's Space in the Tropics: From Convicts to Rockets in French Guiana (2000), Sean T. Mitchell's Constellations of Inequality: Space, Race, and Utopia in Brazil (2017) and Asif Siddiqi's Cosmic Fragments: Dislocation and Discontent

Analysis of Coordinated Steering Performance in Multi‑wheel Landing Gears

Transactions of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics
During aircraft ground steering， the nose landing gear （NLG） tires of large transport aircraft often experience excessive lateral loads， leading to sideslip. This compromises steering safety and accelerates tire wear.
