Use of the updated NASA Langley radio-controlled drop-model technique for high-alpha studies of the X-29A configuration

This paper presents an overview of the radio-controlled drop-model technique used for low-speed flight dynamics research at the NASA Langley Research Center. The overall test methodology is reviewed and the major elements of the system are discussed including model construction and equipment, the closed-loop control system, and the flight test facility. To illustrate the capabilities of the technique, selected results from an ongoing program to study the high-angle-of-attack flight dynamics of the X-29A configuration are reviewed. Three research areas are highlighted: motion prediction, control system effects, and motion analysis and modeling. Finally, several current upgrades to the overall technique are discussed along with the enhanced test capability that they will provide.

A perspective on CELSS control issues

Some issues of Closed Ecological Life Support System (CELSS) analysis and design are effectively addressed from a systems control perspective. CELSS system properties that may be elucidated using control theory in conjunction with mathematical and simulation modeling are enumerated. The approach that is being taken to the design of a control strategy for the Crop Growth Research Chamber (CGRC) and the relationship of that approach to CELSS plant growth unit subsystems control is described.

The Physical/Chemical Closed-Loop Life Support Research Project

The various elements of the Physical/Chemical Closed-Loop Life Support Research Project (P/C CLLS) are described including both those currently funded and those planned for implementation at ARC and other participating NASA field centers. The plan addresses the entire range of regenerative life support for Space Exploration Initiative mission needs, and focuses initially on achieving technology readiness for the Initial Lunar Outpost by 1995-97. Project elements include water reclamation, air revitalization, solid waste management, thermal and systems control, and systems integration. Current analysis estimates that each occupant of a space habitat will require a total of 32 kg/day of supplies to live and operate comfortably, while an ideal P/C CLLS system capable of 100 percent reclamation of air and water, but excluding recycling of solid wastes or foods, will reduce this requirement to 3.4 kg/day.

The cetaceopteryx: A global range military transport aircraft

This paper presents a design of a military transport aircraft capable of carrying 800,000 lbs of payload from any point in the United States to any other point in the world. Such massive airlift requires aggressive use of advanced technology and a unique configuration. The Cetaceopteyx features a joined wing, canard and six turbofan engines. The aircraft has a cost 1.07 billion (1993) dollars each. This paper presents in detail the mission description, preliminary sizing, aircraft configuration, wing design, fuselage design, empennage design, propulsion system, landing gear design, structures, drag, stability and control, systems layout, and cost analysis of the aircraft.
