Manoeuvrability assessment of a hybrid compound helicopter configuration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The compound helicopter design could potentially satisfy the new emerging requirements placed on the next generation of rotorcraft. The main benefit of the compound helicopter is its ability to reach speeds that significantly surpass the conventional ...

Heat stress alters metabolic pathways and nitric oxide signaling in keratinocytes under hyperglycemia

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
This illustration depicts the effects of thermal stress on human keratinocytes maintained in both normal and high‐glucose conditions. Under normal glucose conditions, heat exposure enhances arginine metabolism and increases nitric oxide (NO) production, which promotes alterations in mitochondrial morphology and elevates heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70 ...

The hydraulic windmill [PDF]

open access: yes
An hydraulic windmill is described. It pumps pressurized oil from rotor shaft level to the ground where a motor generator produces electricity. Alternatively, the useful output may be heat. Rotor speed is governed by a flow valve.

A flight dynamics investigation of compound helicopter configurations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Compounding has often been proposed as a method to increase the maximum speed of the helicopter. There are two common types of compounding known as wing and thrust compounding.

Welfare and Physiological Consequences of Non‐Lethal Blood Sampling From the Caudal Vasculature of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L.)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate welfare and health effects following single and repeated non‐lethal blood sampling from the caudal vasculature of Atlantic salmon. Two experiments were conducted at three different temperatures: a 6‐week freshwater experiment with fish weighing 50–100 g, undergoing up to four blood withdrawals, and a

Damage and Failure of Aeroengine Blades Under Small UAV Impacts

open access: yesInternational Journal of Aerospace Engineering
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) may collide with vulnerable parts of other aircrafts, such as engine blades, causing accidents. The research on small UAV impact is limited. Besides, UAV impact with propeller and rotor blades is poorly understood. In this

An investigation of rotor harmonic noise by the use of small scale wind tunnel models [PDF]

open access: yes
Noise measurements of small scale helicopter rotor models were compared with noise measurements of full scale helicopters to determine what information about the full scale helicopters could be derived from noise measurements of small scale helicopter ...

CHANCE: A FRENCH-GERMAN HELICOPTER CFD-PROJECT [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The paper gives an overview of the CHANCE research project (partly supported by the French DPAC and DGA and the German BMWA) which was started in 1998 between the German and French Aerospace Research Centres DLR and ONERA, the University of Stuttgart and
