14.00-14.30 Environmental Testing, Technology Validation and Integration Testing

Andreas Vahl, ZAL Test Centre, Frank Dohrmann, Airbus

15.30-16.00 Helicopter/Ship Interface Testing & Configuration Management

Paul Edwards and Bob Badham, Empire Test Pilot School (UK)

Helicopter/Ship Interface Testing (HSIT) is a specialist area that receives very little attention in either flight test training or in wider flight test fora. It tends to be treated as a niche item and an often heard opinion is that “if you understand the basics of flight test then you will be able to apply general principals and get by”. As a result, flight test schools largely ignore it and in the wider flight test community, papers and discussion are sparse. Graduates who embark on trials in this challenging area are largely expected to rely on their previous maritime experience (if they have any) and to learn while “on the job” from more experienced practitioners.

11.00-11.30 Magnetic Nozzles for Plasma Space Propulsion

Mario Merino-Martinez, Scientific Award, Universidad Politécnica Madrid

Magnetic Nozzles, and Electric Propulsion in general, constitute a state of the art research field that is currently advancing at a fast pace. It represents a new way of using magnetic fields to achieve the acceleration of a plasma in a similar way as a traditional nozzle, with the many advantages and control possibilities that this means. Our research provides a robust physical model to study Magnetic Nozzles. The code DiMagNo 2D represents the first time that the Method of Characteristics and a Modified Euler Predictor-Corrector integration scheme have been employed successfully to simulate Magnetic Nozzles. This code is fast, versatile, and accurate, and it can be used and extended to continue investigation in this and other areas.

11.30-12.00 Numerical simulation of combustion processes in hybrid rocket motors

Gabriela Gariani, Technology & Innovation, Politecnico di Milano

The originality of the project consists in the development of a numerical code for the simulation of combustion processes in hybrid rocket motors, that is able to work on two coupled regions: the gas domain and the solid domain. A coupled gas-solid interface works during the simulation. The interaction between the two regions takes place on the interface where heat flow imbalance is calculated assuming quasi- steady condition at the interface. The entry fuel vapours velocity in the gaseous region is updated each time step accordingly. In this way, the surface fuel temperature is calculated for each time step, according to an established kinetic scheme, and provides the fuel regression rate.

12.00-12.30 Quantifying Emotional Intelligence within the engineering environment of the Aerospace Industry

Design & Production

10.15-10.45 How to generate Test Instrumentation Plans in few clicks without 3D skills

Baptiste Gendron Canion, Lead Engineer, Global Vision Systems

The different breakthrough innovations in the video game industry allow today standard computers and laptops to display seamlessly huge 3D models. Design Office Engineers can now have access to simplified 3DDMU representations on standard computers, with sub millimetric precision which is perfect to design instrumentation plans. The current real-time 3D visualization and manipulation capabilities allow design office engineers to easily self define the instrumentation plans on the 3DDMU and to produce automatically 2D and 3D instrumentation's schemas. The capability to produce easily 2D and 3D instrumentation's schemas simultaneously:- reduce the need for extra drawings that usually complement a 2D schema,- design office engineers don’t need anymore CATIA draftsmen assistance. Benefits:- reduce dramatically the number of human actions in the complete process and then improve quality by eliminating human interpretation errors,- dramatically reduce tests instrumentation phase: speed up instrumentation plan generation because of less human worker involvement.
