Balin Moher stood on Cocoa Beach at age eight, watching the sky darken as a three-hour shuttle launch delay stretched into evening. His siblings wanted to leave, but he insisted on staying. Then the ...

What YANA covers: Strong primitives — sensing, actuator sizing, quaternion/Euler math, Kalman filter, gyro noise, power model, operational modes. The best-covered ...

Abstract: Many real-world optimization problems involve computationally intensive numerical simulations to accurately evaluate the quality of solutions. Usually, the fidelity of the simulations can be ...

Giant’s ‘Aerosystem’ shaping technology incorporates CFD and wind tunnel testing to ensure the frameset is aero-optimised, and on the road that will definitely be apparent as the Trinity is wickedly ...

When Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Pérez head out onto Melbourne’s Albert Park circuit for the Australian Grand Prix on March 8, it will be exactly one year and a day since Cadillac finally gained formal ...

Spaceflight is becoming safer, more frequent, and more sustainable thanks to the largest computational fluid flow simulation ever ran on Earth. Inspired by SpaceX’s Super Heavy booster, a team led by ...

Researchers in the United States have used an exascale supercomputer to perform the largest fluid dynamics simulation ever. It surpassed one quadrillion degrees of freedom in a single computational ...

Accurate prediction of radiative heating during rocket descent poses a fundamental challenge for reusable launch vehicle design. Traditional methods struggle to balance computational cost with ...

There have been published papers by the Air Force Research Lab and NASA on rotating detonation engines having 10% or more efficiency gains. A rotating detonation engine (RDE) uses a form of pressure ...

Abstract: A five-stage ejector pump was designed for high altitude test bed. The pneumatic function method was used to carry out the design. The first two stages have tow ejectors working in parallel ...
