    IR Missile Sensor Obscurement?

    Hi, was wondering if anyone could answer my question, one that has vexed me for a while and one I cannot seem to get an answer to! Modern IR missiles typicaly work in band IV, although traditional (older) missiles work in lower bands, going for the hot sections of aircraft as opposed to surface...

    FEA structures and UK Building Regs?

    For complex structures (we are talking about modern family homes with complex steel and wood structure)how do I go about using FEA to prove design limits are not broached? I have a number of structural engineering books and all show how to design simple structures to UK building regs, using...

    why piston engine avgas and turbine engine avtur?

    I am guessing but I would imagine the Engine electronic controller in turbines compares Turbine entry temperature against mass flow of fuel to air. The heat of combustion generated per unit mass of avgas far exceeds that of avtur. furthermore, it is far more expensive, due to the fraction it is...

    Winglets

    Winglets do not actually decrease the strength of the vorticies as such, and as a result do not cause a decresase in aircraft wake turbulence, as wake spacing for aircraft is purely determined by A/C AUW. THey utilise the secondary flow from the lower wing surface to the upper to create lift, as...
