A Durable Redundant Joint to Build Structures from Sections of Composite Sandwich Panel or Shell

NASA's Langley Research Center has developed a new adhesively bonded joint concept for curved and flat panel sandwich architectures. A woven preform, inserted into the seam between sandwich panels, provides a larger total bonding area and multiple load paths for an improved distribution of load through the joint.

A Flying Craft for Everyone

By 2050 it is estimated that 68% of the world's population will live in cities. This will cause even more traffic in cities, a big problem especially in those cities that already have huge traffic problems with no infrastructure to fix these issues. New creative methods will be needed to solve the traffic dilemma.

ABHAY QUADCOPTER ( Gun Mounted Quadcopter)

Human life is most precious as resurrection is still impossible. Of course we don’t have enough guts to take risks with our life. This is the main reason for which man has gone through the quest of some alternative go.

Aerodynamic Design of Flow Measurement Instrument with 12 Pressures Taping Approach for Mach Range of 0.3 to 2.5

In general prototype models of aerospace vehicle, aircraft or high speed wing bodies (even in automobiles), objects are tested in a wind tunnel test facility to get theoretical data to design the object at optimum solutions. Wind tunnels are available in a large range of mach numbers at subsonic to hyper velocity flow range.

Air Drop Bags

Drop bags are for low-level airdrops beneath radar. These are a combination of safety bag and gas propelled retro rockets. Use is primarily for clandestine missions and as safety bags for rotary wing aircraft where parachutes cannot be operated.

The airbags are made from a very durable, soft Dyneema UD-SB.

Air Plot Display

I want to reduce airplane loss of control accidents. Some of these accidents happen because the flyer's imagination does not match reality. Since the air is invisible, our imaginations could be wrong or confused.

I have seen air made visible by very sparse, oversize and buoyant snowflakes. In a near lifetime of flying I have seen this only once.

Aircraft Nerds Deep Stall Recovery System

Deep stall recovery system

Aircraft stall can cause catastrophic damage to the aircraft and passengers. Using the standard procedure of stall recovery, aircraft can be recovered from the stall. Take an example of Colgan Air Flight 3407. In 2009, Bombardier Dash-8 Q4000 entered in deep aerodynamic stall during landing approach. This Stall caused 50 fatalities and 4 injuries.

Aircraft Vertical Takeoff & Landing

NASA's Langley Research Center has developed an inexpensive, long endurance vertical takeoff and landing UAV. It is capable of flying for 24 hours, landing in a 50 x 50 zone, and can be loaded into the back of a cargo van for easy transport. In addition, it can land in an either horizontal or vertical flight configuration.

An Upgraded Airfoil Wing, the Magfoil Wing

This is a new design that takes advantage and merges two very well-known designs.

Airfoil wings make lift by changing the direction and pressure of the air that crashes into them as they move through the sky. The spinning cylinder wing design, using the magnus effect, has many advantages over traditional airfoils but also some disadvantages.
