Abstract

An insert system for an airfoil is provided. The airfoil includes a plenum that extends into an aft portion of the airfoil. The plenum includes a plenum inlet and an entirety of the plenum inlet is defined axially forward of the aft portion. The insert system includes a first and second insert. The first insert and the second insert include a plurality of impingement openings defined therein. The first insert includes a first neck portion. The first insert is sized for insertion into the plenum radially through the plenum inlet and the first insert is movable aftward within the plenum into an installed position such that the first neck portion is positioned aftward in the plenum inlet. The second insert is sized for insertion into the plenum radially through the plenum inlet forward of the first neck portion in the installed position.

Large language models for transportation research: Methodologies, state of the art, and future opportunities

The rapid rise of large language models (LLMs) is transforming transportation research, with significant advancements emerging between 2023 and 2025, a period marked by the inception and swift growth of adopting and adapting LLMs for various transportation applications. Despite these significant advancements, however, a systematic review and synthesis of the existing literature remains lacking. This paper aims to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive review of the methodologies and applications of LLMs in transportation. We explore key applications, including autonomous driving, travel behavior prediction, and general transportation-related queries, alongside LLM methodologies such as zero- or few-shot learning, prompt engineering, and fine-tuning. From the review, critical research gaps are identified. From the methodological perspective, many of the research limitations can be addressed by integrating LLMs with existing tools and refining LLM architectures. From the application perspective, research opportunities for LLMs to address various transportation challenges are also explored. By synthesizing these findings, this review not only presents the state-of-the-art LLM adoption and adaptation in transportation, but also proposes future research directions as well as insights and recommendations for policymakers and practitioners, paving the way for greater LLM-driven research innovations in transportation in the future.
