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 main goals in aircraft design nowadays are noise and emission reduction, together with performance improvement. These can be achieved straightforwardly with lightweight, large-span configurations. However, light aircraft are inherently...
This talk outlines an effort to understand the impact of inlet isolator physics on the combustion of scramjet engines under actual flight relevant high speed conditions. The objective of the...
In a general research setting, theoretical models combined with simulation provide the backbone for guidance, navigation, and control systems design. While these are both powerful tools to represent physical systems,...
Fuel supply in microjet engines typically makes use of fuel vaporizers. These have a simple design however, their operation involves complicated physics including the disintegration of liquid jet under co-flowing...
In recent years, the use of multi-rotors has been drastically increased both in military and civil applications. Specifically, load transportation using a flock of rotary unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has...
Classification and object recognition is a fundamental problem in many robotics and aerospace applications, such as autonomous driving, vision-based navigation, and search & rescue. The field has advanced much in...
Capacitively coupled radio-frequency thrusters (CCRFT) are an attractive propulsion option for nanosatellites due to their low operating power, relatively high thrust, and low erosion of the electrodes. Such thrusters can...
