Extractions: "Planet Earth's best source for online space news" For August 1, 1998 NASA RELEASE: 98-139 The government-industry effort to revitalize the U.S. light airplane industry is rapidly turning promises into accomplishments. Leaders of both the Advanced General Aviation Transport Experiment (AGATE) consortium and the NASA General Aviation Propulsion (GAP) program are reporting impressive progress, according to a senior NASA official. "These accomplishments are laying the foundation for a small aircraft transportation system that will make personal air travel for business or pleasure a safe, affordable transportation alternative," said Michael B. Mann, NASA's Deputy Associate Administrator for Aeronautics and Space Transportation Technology. "Newly developing technologies and procedures are allowing us to move from the research stage to practical use. Even the challenging task of developing a lightweight, affordable jet engine for personal airplanes is coming along quickly through NASA's GAP program," he added. Mann's comments were made at a joint NASA, FAA and U.S. industry news briefing held Friday at AirVenture '98, the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) annual Fly-In and Convention, Oshkosh, WI. Other briefing participants included Anne Harlan, Federal Aviation Administration's Director of the William J. Hughes Technical Center, Atlantic City, NJ.

Extractions: the DCU is an airframe mounted electronic package with a microprocessor based programmable digital control, for a dual engine helicopter.The DCU interfaces with cockpit controls and displays, and has a self-test feature. The DCU application is designed with Sildex SACRES tool. Context and SNECMA needs The field of application concerns civil and military aviation propulsion systems. The demands made on such systems have been constantly increasing over the last few years. Engine thermodynamic cycles have developed considerably, and consequently so have the number of functions to be checked. To optimize the integration of these aspects and also meet the targets set by the users (pilots, airlines or air forces) regarding functional and operational performance, such as safety, maintenance, weight and cost, engine control systems are making increasing use of digital electronics.

Extractions: NASA is looking beyond nuclear power as it studies technologies to improve the efficiency of future deep-space missions, with some $70 million tentatively programmed to push technology that uses either nuclear power directly, or supplements it, to get beyond the limitations of chemical propulsion for space science probes. Aerocapture uses friction with an atmosphere to slow a spacecfraft, enabling orbital missions otherwise impractical due to the amount of fuel they would require. In addition to electric propulsion systems that use the power from nuclear reactors to drive spacecraft, the agency's Office of Space Science is studying high-temperature materials and structures to handle the heat of atmospheric braking, and huge solar sails for propulsion. Under a new "In-Space Propulsion" (ISP) program started in the current fiscal year, the office has named engineering teams to push several different technologies to "Technology Readiness Level 6," just short of a system demonstration. "The program is focused on developing advanced propulsion technologies looking at near- and mid-term NASA science missions, primarily," said Paul Wercinski, ISP program executive at NASA headquarters. "What we're trying to do is get these different propulsion technologies to a state of readiness such that when mission priorities get better defined, then the mission planners will have these technologies that they can reach for to use."
UAH: Research: Aviation And Rocket Propulsion

Extractions: Aerospace super soaker is new rocket idea When scientists in UAH's Propulsion Research Center talk about hot stuff, don't get too excited: They're probably referring to using wastewater in spacecraft propulsion. The H O Thermionic Solar Thermal Upperstage Flight - H OTSTUF - is a concept generated by graduate student Jonathon Jones, who came up with the idea of using excess water on spacecraft as a propellant. The water is superheated into steam by concentrated solar energy, then is seeded with particles that are easily ionized, such as potassium. The result of this "seeding" is a conductive gas or plasma, which is accelerated through a thermodynamic nozzle. Such electric propulsion devices using plasma flows can deliver much greater performance than traditional chemical propulsion systems, resulting in lower costs and larger payloads that can be delivered into orbit. Research in UAH's Propulsion Research Center is aimed at developing a basic understanding of how to extract maximum performance from these types of systems. Research scientists at UAH built a vacuum chamber in which to study exhaust plumes from a microwave thruster to see how different kinds of fluids behave in a variety of simulated space environments. Scientists want to determine the performance for different types of gases and compare these with the wastewater-to-steam concept to identify the most attractive approach.

is the goal of ongoing research at UAH, where scientists are designing and testinghardware applicable to a rocketbased combined cycle (RBCC) propulsion system
http://www.uah.edu/HTML/Research/ResRev/ARP/story3.html

Extractions: Controlling gas mix could aid rocket design Getting a spacecraft off the surface of the Earth, through the upper atmosphere and into the blackness of space is no longer a challenge for most industrialized nations. Taking those same steps using a low-cost, single-stage reusable rocket, however, is a new challenge. Meeting that challenge is the goal of ongoing research at UAH, where scientists are designing and testing hardware applicable to a rocket-based combined cycle (RBCC) propulsion system. An RBCC system would use oxygen from the atmosphere during portions of the flight, reducing vehicle weight since the vehicle wouldn't have to carry as much oxidizer. The UAH test program explores means to facilitate greater control over the mixing of gases from turbine and primary rocket exhausts in the RBCC. "We can increase the efficiency of RBCC propulsion systems by how we control the mixing of those gases," says Dr. Clark Hawk, director of UAH's Propulsion Research Center. "We want the mixing of those gases to occur in a very particular way. The hardware we design and the conditions under which it operates will let us exert some measure of control over that mixing." Rockets or missiles using this RBCC technology could be launched horizontally, much like an airplane, or vertically from the ground.

Propulsion
For aviation, propulsion is generally broken into 2 categories airbreathingpropulsion for airplanes and rocket propulsion for spacecraft.
http://wings.avkids.com/Book/Propulsion/instructor/intro-01.html

Extractions: Introduction Propulsion is the science of designing an engine to propel a vehicle forward or up. For aviation, propulsion is generally broken into 2 categories: air-breathing propulsion for airplanes and rocket propulsion for spacecraft. Both work on the principle of pushing high velocity exhaust gases out the back end (reaction thrust principle), but they differ in one significant detail. An air-breathing engine uses the air stream in which the airplane is flying to augment the propulsive abilities of the engine so it can carry less fuel. A rocket engine travels in space where there is no air, and therefore it must carry all its fuel internally. An air-breathing engine will have both an inlet and an exit, while the rocket will be closed in the front and only have an exit. In general, an air-breathing engine will get more thrust for less fuel than a rocket. The forces of flight (lift, drag, weight, and thrust) were discussed in the Fundamentals chapter. Thrust is the forward facing force generated by the engines of the airplane. The air flows into the engine at roughly the flight speed of the airplane, and it exits the engine flowing much hotter and faster. The thrust is computed using the rate of mass flowing through the engine times the difference between the high velocity of the exhaust gases and the original velocity of the air into the inlet. The exhaust gases flow out the back of the engine, causing a reaction force on the airplane, pushing it forward. This concept is called the reaction thrust principle.
