Sometimes, you need to measure the #vibration of something that has to be #BehindGlass for safety reasons. For example, engine testing in aerospace, climatic chambers in academic research, or a vacuum for testing satellites. As long as you have line of sight (or sight via mirrors), you can use #vibrometry Find out about this and other impossible problems vibrometers can solve in our blog: https://lnkd.in/dcYkv6YV

Dawn Aerospace has unveiled its innovative Docking and Fluid Transfer (DFT) port for SatDrive propulsion systems, enabling in-space refueling. This technology replaces manual fill/drain valves with a passive interface, adding only 0.6 kg. Starting in 2025, all SatDrive systems above 10 kNs will include this port. Speaking on the technology, CEO, Stefan Powell said, “Dawn is currently producing about one satellite propulsion system per week. Not all will use the DFT, but if a significant fraction does, we foresee potentially hundreds of refuelable satellites on-orbit by the 2030s. That will go a long way to establishing a customer base for satellite refueling." 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/g5s2kF84 #SpaceTech #SatelliteRefueling #SpaceSustainability #SpaceInnovation

⚡Aviation Partners/FlexSys Morphing Wing Demonstrator ⚡👇 Aviation Week’s Rupa Haria took this video of a wing-morphing “flexfoil” demonstrator that winglet specialist Aviation Partners Inc. and joint-venture partner FlexSys displayed at the 2016 National Business Aviation Association show. The demo illustrates how the airfoil shape could change in flight to boost performance over a wide range of angles of attack, indicated airspeeds and Mach levels. The joint-venture partners are working with an undisclosed customer to retrofit an aircraft with the first commercial morphing wing, an aerodynamic innovation that has wide-ranging implications for performance-boosting retrofits of existing business jets or clean-sheet designs.

Dr. Pat Anderson, VerdeGo Aero’s CTO, presented the results of a study comparing VTOL powertrain architectures at the IEEE Aerospace Conference. Hybrid powertrains were found to be lighter and more capable than either battery-electric or mechanical powertrain options for VTOL aircraft using distributed propulsion. Range and reserve energy compliance were assessed, showing the substantial benefits of hybrid-electric approaches for high-performance electric aviation. #hybridflight #vtol #evtol #electricaviation

One of the last tests we had in the visualization lab was related to taking pictures at 1000 fp.s of water spraying from an injector. One of the most important challenges of liquid spraying visualization is sufficient resolution to check the diameter of the sprayed droplets. To get the best clarity of the image and to detect the diameter of the drops, it is necessary to use a lens with the right depth of field and lighting at the right angle. #highspeed #experimental #combustion #aerospace #aerodynamics #fluidmechanics #spray

This success story features Turbulence Solutions, a pioneering company in aviation technology, that used SimScale to validate and optimize their innovative Turbulence cancelling technology. 🚀 Using SimScale’s advanced CFD simulations, they were enabled to achieve strong validation of in-flight data, suppress turbulence by up to 80%, and reduce drag by 2%. These achievements have successfully transitioned proof-of-concept technology to deployment on commercial aircraft, marking a significant advancement in flight safety and efficiency. 👉 Learn how: https://hubs.la/Q02F0gYD0 #engineering #simulation #CFD #innovation #aerospace
