Aircraft Hydraulic Systems - Fundamentals, Nihad E. Daidzic
Aircraft Hydraulic Systems - Fundamentals, Nihad E. Daidzic
Aviation Department Publications
Aircraft hydraulic systems are essential non-propulsive power systems. Hydraulic power systems are used to power major functional aircraft systems, such as flight controls (primary and secondary), friction braking, nose gear steering, thrust-reversers, operating heavy cargo doors, etc.
Wind Tunnel Measurements And Data Analysis Tutorial, Nihad E. Daidzic
Wind Tunnel Measurements And Data Analysis Tutorial, Nihad E. Daidzic
Aviation Department Publications
This tutorial gives details on processing of raw aerodynamic data measured directly in the wind tunnel on airfoils and wings. Also procedures and equations from the lab report are given and demonstrated how to compute geometric characteristics of wings/airfoils and air data. All numeric results are typically rounded to five significant digits.
Keeping Your Distance: The Science Of Turns-Around-A-Point And Ground Reference Maneuvers, Nihad E. Daidzic
Keeping Your Distance: The Science Of Turns-Around-A-Point And Ground Reference Maneuvers, Nihad E. Daidzic
Aviation Department Publications
Ground reference maneuvers are more important than you may think. Frequently regarded as unimportant or boring, ground reference maneuver training is often limited to a few minutes of flight instructor demonstration and brief student practice.
Low Level Turbulence Detection For Airport, Derek Kearney, Anthony O'Connor
Low Level Turbulence Detection For Airport, Derek Kearney, Anthony O'Connor
Articles
Low level wind shear and turbulence present a serious safety risk to aircraft during the approach, landing and take-off phases. Despite many advances in on-board and ground based warning systems. Wind shear remains a formidable force that coupled with a microburst can overpower any aircraft. Aviation reports have concluded that pilots need to have improved information in relation to tailwinds, wind shear and wind variations on approach and during the landing phases. Low level wind shear continues to cause disruption, delays and contribute to aircraft crashes. As recently as 2016, two Boeing aircraft crashed while attempting a Go-around manoeuver after …
