הפקולטה להנדסת אווירונוטיקה וחלל בטכניון ע"ש סטיבן ב. קליין היא מרכז אקדמי ברמה עולמית לאוירונוטיקה ואסטרונאוטיקה, המוקדש ליצירה, הרחבה והפצה של רעיונות וידע במדעי התעופה והחלל.
Shavit Attar | This study demonstrates closed-loop control of the shock train leading-edge location in a dual-mode scramjet combustor using fuel-injection distribution as the control input. Experiments were performed in a direct-connect, cavity-stabilized combustor with distributed ethylene injection.
Saar Levi | Hypergolic propellants are defined by their ability to ignite immediately upon contact, resulting in rapid exothermic reactions occurring without the need for an external ignition source. In hybrid rocket engines, this spontaneous reaction simplifies thruster management, reduces system mass, and enables engine re-ignition.
The thrust of a solid rocket motor (SRM) mainly depends on the combustion chamber pressure, nozzle geometry and propellant characteristics. The most commonly used method for a prescribed thrust profile...
This work presents a new approach for solving the coverage problem for large areas given a limited number of sensors. We consider the problem where there is a given area needed...
Understanding flow instability mechanisms in boundary layers is valuable for designing more efficient aerodynamic and hydrodynamic surfaces. This talk consists of two parts; the first discusses instabilities and transition to...
Buckling of a slender elastic column under static compressive load is a fundamental and classical problem in structural stability. It has been examined over more than 250 years, starting with...
Air-breathing engines as ramjets, scramjets, turbojets, and turbofans have higher specific impulse and energetic performance and, hence, longer range for the same amount of fuel than rockets. Ramjets operate at...
The current research is focused around the development of a variable cycle micro-turbofan engine an existing micro-turbojet with less than 1kN thrust. The project involves the conversion of a single...
The general trend in missile development is towards longer, faster, high-maneuverability missiles. This makes missiles increasingly more flexible and therefore more susceptible to aeroelastic effects, such as static and dynamic...
The problem of finding optimal trajectories is a basic problem in aerospace engineering with many different solution algorithms. One widely investigated branch is the problem of finding shortest paths under...
