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.
Nour Aldeen Nasrallah | Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are nanoporous materials with strong potential for sorption-based atmospheric water harvesting, owing to their exceptionally high surface areas (~5,000 m²/g) and easy regeneration at low temperatures (~70 °C). However, their practical implementation is limited by slow heat and mass transport, poor sorbent utilization, and the difficulty of integrating MOF nanopowders into scalable macroscopic thermofluid systems.
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.
Nadav Mailhot | Although satellite orbit propagation is one of the oldest problems in artificial satellite theory, there are still remaining challenges related to propagation speed and precision. In this talk, a new semianalytical orbit propagation method is designed to account for conservative perturbing forces
Pavel Galich | B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Applied Mathematics and Physics, Department of Aerophysics and Space Research, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (2012 and 2014). Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering, Technion (2018). Postdoctoral Research Associate, Department of Materials Science; NanoEngineering (MSNE), Rice University (2018-2020). Assistant Professor at the Technion since 2020.
Dor Naftaly | Modern aircraft designs are trending toward increasingly lightweight, high-aspect-ratio, and highly flexible configurations for improved aerodynamic efficiency and performance. As structural flexibility increases, the traditional separation between flight dynamics and aeroelasticity becomes less valid: elastic deformations influence rigid-body motion, and maneuver-induced accelerations and loads impact the structural response. This study investigates the coupled flight dynamics and aeroelastic behavior of flexible aircraft, focusing on the effects of maneuvering on flutter instability.
Din Ben Adva | The talk presents two recent studies examining the emergence of corner-flow circulation in confined geometries at highly rarefied conditions, where the characteristic length scale is comparable to the molecular mean free path of the gas.
