This article discusses the jet mixing effectiveness of rectangular tab with slots to distort the jet, thereby creating vortices of differing sizes to enhance the mixing. This article numerically investigates the effectiveness of slanted slotted/perforated rectangular tabs with the slot connecting the adjacent faces of the tab to control Mach 0.4 jet. To intensify the jet mixing process, two similar tabs with equal blockage ratio of 7% are placed at diametrically opposite locations of the convergent nozzle exit. The jet flow development in the axial and radial directions of the jet are investigated in detail. To measure the effectiveness of the slotted tabs, the results are compared with the free jet and with the jet operated with solid rectangular tab. The percentage reduction in the core length obtained is 84.1 and 74% for the jet employed with the slotted tab and the solid tab, respectively, when compared with the free jet. The results exhibit that the slotted tab distorts the jet in the near field to a greater extent when compared with the solid rectangular tab.

The aerospace industry is experiencing an unprecedented scenario. The air travel drifted from years of constant growth and positive expectations to a place where the uncertainty is the most predominant distinctive. Consequently, the aerospace ecosystem needs to adapt to cope with challenges never faced before. Understanding the evolution of the aerospace ecosystem is thus essential to foster its progression. This research aims at the identification and categorisation of key enablers that have been linked to the growth of aerospace ecosystems. To this extent, key enablers are first identified and then categorised using interpretive structural modelling (ISM) and cross-impact matrix multiplication applied to classification (MICMAC) methodologies. An analysis is elaborated for a developed aerospace ecosystem, the United Kingdom, and an emergent aerospace ecosystem, Mexico. Results evidence a contrasting categorisation of key enablers among both ecosystems. On the other hand, the automotive ecosystem and geopolitical factors are considered as underpinning enablers for both aerospace ecosystems evolution.

With the continuous development and application of modeling technology, civil aircraft designers urgently need to apply model-based systems engineering (MBSE) theory and methods into the field of civil aircraft development. However, the existing modeling tools, which combined with MBSE methodologies, only focus on one particular area, such as requirement modeling, functional modeling and design synthesis. This kind of low coupling design system makes it difficult to link the upstream and downstream designers in the early stage of system development. This paper introduces the MBSE development process of civil aircraft and then establishes an integrated platform composed of six work stations for civil aircraft development based on this process. Commercially available modeling tools, such as IBM Rational DOORS and enterprise architect (EA), are conducted in the platform. The development of flight control system is taken as an example to test the feasibility and efficiency of our integrated platform in logic layer. This platform can complete the activities of aircraft life cycle function analysis, requirement and model management. The loose coupling between the modules and the high cohesive nature allows different system engineers to maintain their design independence and consistency at different stages of development.

Knowledge creation projects are essential for today’s business. It is common to observe in these projects, in all their dimensions, the presence of the uncertainty factor. Effectively, managing uncertainties is seen nowadays as a necessary condition for project success. This article aimed to present a study on the intensity that the hard and soft paradigms appear in knowledge creation projects and, consequently, identify the levels of uncertainty presented in its projects. To make this study possible, we adopted the hard and soft analysis framework. A case study on knowledge creation, managed by the aeronautical certification department of EMBRAER S.A, was analyzed under the aspects of this framework. It was expected, as a result of this study, to empirically validate the concepts about the uncertainty levels presented in projects of this nature.

This paper is concerned with the three-dimensional constrained optimal path planning. To this end, an objective function is defined as the shortest trajectory length in such a way that some constraints including rough terrain avoidance, forbidden zone avoidance, initial and terminal constraints, allowable altitude constraint and maximum allowable curvature of trajectory are satisfied. These leads to a challenging problem for aircraft guidance and control that solution requires great experience, skill, accuracy, and a powerful strategy. For this purpose, pseudospectral technique, which is one of the direct methods, is applied in this paper based on the Chebyshev nodes through which the complexity of the problem is reduced by transforming the optimal control problem into the parametric optimization one. The efficacy of the proposed method is demonstrated by extensive simulations, and it is particularly verified that this method is able to produce a solution satisfying all hard constraints of the underlying problem.
