A simulator evaluation of pilot response to an aircraft cockpit spin indicator system.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1979-12)
A high-performance aircraft simulator facility employing
a two-axis air combat maneuvering simulation was used to investigate
pilot response to an aircraft cockpit spin indicator
system. The time required to correctly ...
Effects of fuel additives on plume opacity of a sub-scale turbojet test cell with a ramjet type dump-combustor
(Naval Postgraduate School, 1979-12)
An initial investigation was conducted into the effects of metallic based fuel additives on smoke reduction in turbo-jet test cells. Experiments were conducted on a one-eighth scale turbojet test cell with a ramjet type ...
An investigation of residual stresses in simulated wing panels of 7075-T6 aluminum.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1979-12)
The advent of onboard aircraft microprocessor fatigue monitoring systems will establish the opportunity to fully exploit residual stresses at stress-critical areas, including their effects on fatigue predictions. An ...
Application of powered high lift systems to STOL aircraft design
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1979-09)
The development of VTOL technology over a thirty year period
was reviewed. Various powered-lift concepts were explored
and recent application analyzed. The ACSYNT computer program,
developed by the NASA Ames Research ...
The development and evaluation of an experimental apparatus for the investigation of fastener pull-through failure in graphite-epoxy laminates.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1979)
This thesis examines the failure at a fastener hole in a
composite fuel tank skin due to hydraulic ram; i.e. fluid
pressure due to a penetrating projectile. An experimental
apparatus was set up to investigate the triaxial ...
XR-3 bow seal performance as a function of seal geometry
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1978-12)
A series of tests was conducted to determine the effects of bow seal shape upon the performance of the XR-3 captured air bubble testcraft. The lift and drag forces experienced by the bow seal, plotted versus velocity, are ...
An experimental investigation of turbojet test cell augmentors.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1978-06)
A one-eighth scale turbojet test cell was used to investigate
the effects of various design parameters on augmentor
performance. The augmentor inlet design, nozzle-to-augmentor
spacing, engine flow rate, nozzle total ...
Design of software package for incorporation of random load testing and data processing on materials testing system machine
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1978-06)
This thesis describes the software design and implementation
of a microprocessor- based, random load drive and data
acquisition system on a Material Testing System (MTS) machine.
A microprocessor, combination analog ...
Computerization of tactical aircraft performance data for fleet application.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1978-06)
The nature of operations, variety of missions and
configurations, and requirement for rapid response of fleet
tactical aircraft has given rise to a unique problem
within the Naval Aviation community, this being the ...
Combustor design and operation for a subscale turbojet test cell
(1978-03)
A high pressure, water-cooled ramjet-type combustor capable
of producing various amounts of particulates has been
designed, constructed and operated in the sub-scale turbojet
test cell.
The combustor can be utilized ...
