Design Of Cessna 210 Radome-Pod Instrument Interface For Flight Testing, Lumumba Thutmose O. Obika
Design Of Cessna 210 Radome-Pod Instrument Interface For Flight Testing, Lumumba Thutmose O. Obika
Masters Theses
The purpose of this study was to determine the most appropriate location and design for an instrument interface that can utilize minimum volume within a Cessna 210 wing-pod. This study considered some instruments such as a radiometer, heitronics pyrometer, laser altimeter and a network camera; to develop a suitable instrument interface. The study examined the process needed to implement a design methodology for instrument interfaces for flight testing. The study combined varying physiological factors to produce a design for the internal-instruments’ interface of a wing pod. These factors include but may not be limited to simulated analysis, impact on human …

Optimization And Design For Heavy Lift Launch Vehicles, Paul Andreas Ritter
Optimization And Design For Heavy Lift Launch Vehicles, Paul Andreas Ritter
Masters Theses
The simulation and evaluation of an orbital launch vehicle requires consideration of numerous factors. These factors include, but are not limited to the propulsion system, aerodynamic effects, rotation of the earth, oblateness, and gravity. A trajectory simulation that considers these different factors is generated by a code developed for this thesis titled Trajectories for Heavy-lift Evaluation and Optimization (THEO). THEO is a validated trajectory simulation code with the ability to model numerous launch configurations. THEO also has the capability to provide the means for an optimization objective. Optimization of a launch vehicle can be specified in terms of many different …
