The trend towards more twin-engined aircraft drives up the cost of engine development, by boosting the need for power and reliability.
In this study, a robust control scheme based on dynamic inversion using fuzzy neural networks (FNN) is designed to control a nonlinear aircraft driven by two different actuators (fins and reaction jets).
King's final wartime score of twenty-six included six aircraft driven down out of control, thirteen aircraft and four balloons destroyed, and three other aircraft destroyed in victories shared with other airmen.
Last Thursday, an inspection of an Osprey at Camp Lejeune, N.C., showed that a coupling on the aircraft's drive shaft had failed.
The Ospreys, which take off and land like a helicopter but fly like an airplane, were grounded after one made a precautionary landing at Camp Lejeune, N.C., on Aug. 24 and a subsequent maintenance inspection revealed that a coupling on the aircraft's drive shaft had come loose.
Traditional hydraulic brake systems require a complex system of pipelines between an aircraft engine driven pump (EDP) and brake actuators, which increases the weight of the aircraft and may even cause serious vibration and leakage problems.
Search operations resumed Wednesday after strong gales and heavy swells grounded aircraft and drove ships away.
Special three-wheeled trailers were built and the aircraft were driven to Moscow, but the flypast was cancelled because of bad weather.
If you look at the X-47B in the U.S. Navy video below making the world's first drone landing on an aircraft carrier, driven by AI software, it looks more than a little like the craft we saw in the Terminator movies.
Anti-aircraft fire drove off the planes.
Ark Royals fighters and a heavy anti-aircraft barrage drove off the enemy, and although several bombs were dropped at the carrier, none impacted.
