Investigation of novel propulsion systems – the exoskeletal engine concept. Part I
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2010, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The exoskeletal engine represents a relatively new concept in the world of propulsion systems. It is a drum-rotor engine concept in which conventionally heavy shafts and discs are eliminated and replaced by rotating casings that support the blades in span wise compression. Thus the rotating blades are in compression rather than in tension. The resulting open channel at the engine centreline has an immense potential for the jet noise reduction and can also accommodate an inner combined-cycle thruster such as a ramjet. This is the first part of an article constituted out of two parts.

Drag coefficient modelling in the context of small launcher optimisation
The purpose of this paper is to present a fast mathematical model that can be used to quickly asses the drag coefficient for generic launcher configurations. The tool developed based on this mathematical model can be use...
A VORTEX MODEL OF A HELICOPTER ROTOR
A vortex model of a helicopter rotor is presented. Each blade of the rotor has three degrees of freedom: flapping, lagging and feathering. The motions after each degree of freedom are also known for all blades. The blade...
Mechanical properties evaluation and model finite element analysis of cork and felt based nanofilled phenolic resin composites
The paper presents the development of numerical experiences using finite element commercial codes, based on experimental mechanical tests performed on ablative composite materials. The studied ablative materials were obt...
Analytical solutions for the temperature field in a 2D incompressible inviscid flow through a channel with walls of solid fuel
A gas (oxidizer) flows between two parallel walls of solid fuel. A combustion is initiated: the solid fuel is vaporized and a diffusive flame occurs. The hot combustion products are submitted both to thermal diffusion an...
Analysis Regarding the Effects of Atmospheric Turbulence on Aircraft Dynamics
This paper will analyze the Gust Load Alleviation (GLA) systems which can be used to reduce the effects of atmospheric turbulences generated by wind gusts on vertical acceleration of aircraft. Their purpose is to reduce...
