Autonomous Forced Landing of Unmanned Aircraft Systems
Lecture Hall, University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace StudiesAbstract Unmanned aircraft systems are gradually penetrating into civil aviation, sharing airspace with manned aircraft. Safely is of paramount importance in future mixed aviation environment. Research has been carried out in addressing mid-air safety such as see and avoid, and safe separation, but much less on terminal operation and active contingence management. This talk focuses […]
Frontiers of RPAS technology and regulation: from principles to practice
Lecture Hall, University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace StudiesAbstract In this joint seminar, engineers from Transport Canada and Ribbit will discuss the latest Canadian regulations for Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS, i.e. drones), and how they apply to the development and testing of novel drone concepts. Transport Canada will lead the first half of the seminar, laying a rigorous foundation in the philosophy […]
Unique Dynamics of Reacting Systems Under Near Limit Conditions
Lecture Hall, University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace StudiesSpeaker: Prof. Tanvir Farouk Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of South Carolina Today’s energy technologies have been moving toward operating at near-limit conditions to achieve higher efficiency, lower emission, and fuel variability. Under these near limit conditions chemical kinetics and the thermo-fluid dynamics couple more distinctively in a reacting flow system. This talk discusses […]
