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.
4D printing is a novel concept that emerges in recent years, benefiting from the rapid development of advanced 3D printing technologies and active materials. In 4D printing, upon external stimuli...
We study the flow generated by the periodic pitching motion of a 2D rigid plate about its fixed end in an unbounded incompressible fluid which is otherwise at rest, as...
We present a novel approach for identifying disturbance sources in wall-bounded shear flows, which can prove useful for active control of boundary layer transition from laminar to turbulent flow. The...
The importance of the conceptual design stage within the process of engineering design of a new product is well known. This stage is considered the most important in terms of...
Nowadays there is a growing demand for improvement in rocket and air-breathing performance and safety. There is a huge potential in combining ramjet engines with gel fuel that can carry...
Solid-propellant rocket motors for tactical missiles require low cost, low maintenance level, immediate availability and high performance. Their main goal is to supply the required thrust and impulse to the...
High accuracy navigation in GPS-deprived uncertain environments is of prime importance to various robotics applications. In such scenarios, it has been recently shown that online sensor calibration and multi-robot collaboration,...
Accurate pose estimation and 3D reconstruction are important in a variety of applications such as autonomous navigation or mapping in uncertain or unknown environments. Bundle adjustment (BA) and simultaneous localization...
