Synopsis: Aeronautics: Aircraft: Airframe:

All of this affects the shape and size of the fuselage. This means that production lines have to switch from one variety of aeroplane to another using different machines and different setups for the machines.

or a cargo-hold from damaging the structure or tearing a hole in the fuselage and bringing down the plane.

The primary challenge was to make these state-of-the-art materials contain the rapid gas expansion that occurs in an explosion strong enough to rip open the aluminium fuselage of a plane.

But the most radical aspect of the redesign is the landing gear which will allow astronauts to set the spacecraft down on solid ground.

which combined parachutes with landing gear powered by retrorockets that could lower the rover to the surface on tethers.

The vehicle would have a fuselage reminiscent of the Concorde and take off like a conventional airliner accelerate to Mach 5. 2

This way the fuselage generates lift. Since the engine inlet is extremely sensitive to the direction of airflow at high mach numbers it is angled down 7 degrees

but then they wouldn't have a convenient place for the rear landing gear and having the engines close to the ground makes them easier to service.

I can see a Reaction engines/Rolls royce partnership (I think RR was involved originally in Skylonâ#predecessor project HOTOL) providing the engines a Boeing/Lockheed martin/Any other building the airframe EADS providing the avionics or any other subsystem.

But robotic landing gear developed for DARPA at the Georgia Institute of technology (Georgia Tech) could better equip these aircraft to land just about anywhere.

The new landing gear features four robotic legs with bendable"knees"that turn a normal helicopter into

and take off from terrain that would be impossible to operate from with standard landing gear,"Ashish Bagai,

what Bagai referred to as"standard landing gear, "which typically features either retractable wheels or fixed skids (the ski-type beams sometimes seen under the fuselage of a helicopter).

Neither of these options works well on uneven terrain, which is unfortunate, because helicopters often need to land

The robo-insect landing gear can handle landings on irregular terrain, even if there are significant obstacles in the way,

The jet is described as'an air vehicle including a fuselage a gothic delta wing distributed on either side of the fuselage,

and a system of motors able to propel the air vehicle.''The patent describes how three different types of engine,

before retracting into the fuselage just before it reaches the speed of sound. A rocket motor would take it to an altitude of 100, 000ft (30,000 metres.

#Robotic Landing gear could help pilots land on rocky mountains and moving boats Helicopters may be able to move in any direction in the air,

but rigid landing gear means they are only able to land and take off on stable, flat surfaces.

engineers have designed Robotic Landing gear. The system comprises four articulated legs that can bend to land on uneven terrain

Instead of traditional landing gear, the system has jointed four legs that are able to fold up next to the helicopter fuselage or body while in flight.

and take off from terrain that would be impossible to operate from with standard landing gear. Having the ability to land on

Reduced risk of damage during hard landings, by as much as a factor of five, compared to conventional landing gear Stable landing

the landing gear is designed to let a helicopter touch down on sloping terrain up to 20 degrees, which is not currently possible,

compared to conventional landing gear. As well as working on new landing systems, Darpa is developing swarms of reusable drone aircraft that can work together to perform a mission,

'We wouldn't be discarding the entire airframe, engine, avionics and payload with every mission,

Airbus'jet is described as'an air vehicle including a fuselage, a gothic delta wing distributed on either side of the fuselage,

According to Airbus, the craft is essentially a flying tanker with most of the fuselage made up of liquid oxygen and ecofriendly liquid hydrogen.

and retract into the fuselage. On completion of the acceleration phase the plane is now flying at anywhere from Mach 4 to Mach 4. 5 at an altitude of 30,000 to 35,000 m (100,000 to 150

the wing fuselage design dissipates the sonic shock wave over 110 to 175 km (68 to 109 mi)

The ability of liquid metal with its own embedded power source could even one day be the basis to build self repairing armor on tanks and changing aircraft fuselages for fuel efficiency and speed.

"Typically, if you're going to cook a fuselage for an Airbus a350 or Boeing 787, you've got about a four-story oven that's tens of millions of dollars in infrastructure that you don't need,

In initial experiments, the researchers investigated the film's potential to fuse two types of aerospace-grade composite typically used in aircraft wings and fuselages.

"The team is working with industrial partners to find ways to scale up the technology to manufacture composites large enough to make airplane fuselages and wings."

if there was a way of preventing the tiny, almost undetectable cracks that form in an aircraft's wings and fuselage.

and fuselage to recover themselves during flight, in the event of any undetectable cracks. The team has been working on the technology over the past three years in partnership with aerospace engineers.

Mr Risk doubts there will ever be a machine big enough to turn out a whole airframe."

Program director for the US NAVY Captain Jeff Dodge likened the upgrade from the MQ-8b based on a smaller airframe to the model aircraft to a brain transplant. e are taking the computer

The aircraft is equipped with two ramjets under its delta wings, a pair of Turbojets under the front part of the fuselage and a rocket engine at the rear end of the fuselage.

the turbojets are retracted into the fuselage. At this point, the rocket engine is ignited at full power causing the aircraft to travel vertically like a rocket at supersonic speeds.
