Summary
The sub-system which was analyzed in the aircraft flaw detection system is the ‘sensing sub-system’. The main function of this sub-system is to determine whether the flaw detected by the scanning sub-system is valid by examining it further and notify the engineers if repair work is needed and provide them with statistics of the flaw. Movement system will then be activated so that the robot marks the points where examination has been done to ensure no repetition of inspection occurs.
The problem encountered with most of the sensing system for aircraft inspection is the efficiency and accuracy of it. The robot has to be designed in such a way that flaws can be detected precisely in a short period of time so that the airline companies could use it for quick and safe inspection.
The best sensing method is a combination of laser scanning and ultrasonic, due to the facts that surface and in-depth inspection could be carried out in a short period of time with minimum false detection and less complicated analysis of inspection results.
Introduction
Ever since the first plane was invented by The Wright Brothers, their invention was further improved and developed until present. Nevertheless, nothing is perfect, aviation accidents and incidents have been happening once in a while and they are happening more frequently recently. The main factors such as human error, weather, and mechanical failure have a total of 40%, contributing to the causes of fatal aviation
Crashes are rare, and most of the time are consequences of many unrelated factors. Many believe that airplane crashes are the cause of bad piloting or harsh weather; but other factors are overlooked. Suren Ratwatte have been studying airplane
On Saturday, August twenty-second, a stunt plane at an air show in England crashed and killed seven people. It was said that the pilot of the stunt plane was attempting to do a loop, but lost control and crashed onto a highway. The seven people that were killed in this accident were people just driving on highway and were caught in the accident. The plane model that crashed was called a “Hawker Hunter”, and it was a plane model from the Cold War. Along with the seven people that were killed in the accident, there are around fourteen people that were injured.
By the turn of the century, Field of automation and robotics have seen a quick growth in each and every aspect whether it is a research or application. Due to this advancement, this field of study needs certain protocols.
The aviation industry has emerged to be one of the more efficient and safest way to travel across the world. Taking in consideration that there are thousands of people that have car accidents across the United States daily and sadly some of them end up being fatal. When an aircraft accident happens, it is normally that followed and investigated by several government and federal agencies in order to take all the details, human factors and determing factors that contributed to the accident. Given that more than 70% of the aircraft accidents are caused by human error, it is important for the FAA and the NTSB to conduct the investigation to determine if human factors were present and to issue recommendations that will prevent more accidents from the same nature.
Pilots and non pilots. We will explore three different aviation accidents that could have been prevented if the aircraft was maintained properly. And why pilots should make sure to do a thorough walk around of their aircraft. This is not to say that faulty maintenance was the cause of each of these accidents. There was pilot error reported in these accident investigations.
The field trials will experiment on the defined environments (normal environment – 16 cases and one flexible environment – if possible). Following topics are the case for algorithms’ performance
Abstract: Throughout history, human beings have been astonished by the concept of flight. In the modern world, planes, helicopters and other aircrafts have been engineered to fulfil this perception, allowing people to travel around the world in easy. However, just like cars and trains, planes are also prone to accidents influenced by bad weather conditions. The information below describes how a thunderstorm and wind shear affected Delta fight 191 in 1985. Which will provide the physics behind the accident and the weather system and create recommendations to help limit these types of air accidents. Introduction/ background: The concept of flight follows basic physics principles includes Bernoulli's principle, forces in flight and how the motion
Summary: On July 6, 2013 a Asiana flight 214 crash at the San Francisco airport. In the plane, it was carrying more that 300 hundred people and out of the 300 plus, only three people were killed in the incident and 200 people were injured (The Guardian, 2014). Within the past five years this event would make it first fatal passenger airline incident in the US. In addition, the crash was concluded as a pilot error due to crew member fail to maintain equipment system and identifying hazard.
The industrial robots are applied in all branches of the industry. The highest level of application is in the automobile industry, but the number of installed robots is increasing in other industries as well (Karabegovic, Dolecec, Husak, 2011).
Aircraft has to not only be designed for reliability but also for maintenance. Basic maintenance intervals are 12 months or 600 flight hours. The aircraft’s “MSG 3” maintenance-friendly design allows windshields replacement in two hours. The third-generation “L-3 SmartProbes” eliminate unneeded tubes and pipes between probes and ADC boxes. All antennas and other external sensors can be easily replaced from outside the airplane. Gel gaskets eliminate the use liquid sealants that are necessary before flight. All flight control cables are designed to minimized reversal during the installation. The dual batteries that were mentioned earlier slide out on trays for easy access and replacement. One type of grease is used for the aircraft. The “fuel boost pumps have brushless motors for long life and they are mounted in dry canisters so they may be changed without defueling the aircraft” (Pilot Report). The winglets uses screws to make them easy to remove and replace. A central maintenance computer can check autopilot servo torque which eliminates removal for bench tests. The oxygen bottle may be refilled through a port in the nose baggage compartment. The Phenom 300 has the downside of having fresh water reservoirs must be replenished internally because the systems weren’t installed in the flight test aircraft. This would change workload issues if accessed externally.
As the years progress, airplanes have been regarded as the handiest method to experience all the foreign nations since the 1950s. There is no denying that the impact on aviation on human history is vital. Hence, the public anticipates that the industry is approximately perfect. Nevertheless, with the collisions of the past aircraft, it is evident that misapprehending the communication between the air traffic controllers and pilots account for mortal accidents. Consequently, I am going to compare two aircraft accidents in the past and analyze how the tragedy resulted from.
The past practice of investigating all accidents and incidents (safety occurrences) is being replaced with a more systematic and selective process. As aircraft technology and systems development becomes more advanced, air travel perceived as safer and as such, the role of investigating agencies has evolved. A number of air safety investigation agencies have policies to help determine their level of response to occurrences by considering a range of factors such as the severity of the event, the category of aircraft involved, class of operation and public interest. In the majority of occurrences little investigative effort is subsequently undertaken. Despite this, the recurring nature of many accidents results in recommendations, interventions and policies which are conducive to accident prevention. Although these can be improved to facilitate greater measurable outcomes and achievable improvements to aviation safety.
Nowadays, the airline industry is known as one of the most common type of transportation for long and short distances. Over thousands of passengers are traveling by aircrafts every day. But, this industry had faced with serious failures during last decades that in some cases, the human loss was one of these failures consequences. The Turkish 981 air crash (as shown in Figure: 1) is a known example of design process issues in airline history because of losing all 346 passengers after 10 minutes of flight. The Turkish aircraft was the second Mc_ Donnell Douglas unsuccessful flight that proved the weak performance of Dc_10 jumbo jet (Kilroy, para. 1-4). Douglas started to enter different jumbo jets to airline industry after producing jet planes for US military in order to introduce a new method of cargo door design. While, after the disaster, it was found that technical issues during the design of Douglas productions were the main reasons of Turkish flight crash (Johnston, 1976, p. 2).In this essay,Douglass history, main reasons of this air crash as design issues with cargo door,vent floor, actutor and hydraulic system, also a compression of Douglass process with a correct design process would be explained.
Scanner will not reveal things in body cavities which may harm the aiport with hidden weapon and low-denisty items very well which the items could harm the aiport.Violate privacy, the feedback is loaded with all complaint to the airport. The price are very expensive.
The obvious need for a robot in this scenario is health of humans. With cameras and sensors attached to a robot an operator could guide the robot around the crash site evaluating presence of carbon fiber dust particles in the air as well as inspecting the crash site of damaged and exposed pieces of carbon fiber. Armed with a sprayer and reservoir containing polyacrylic acid the robot can also spray down pieces of the crashed aircraft to make it safer for a team to start inspecting the crash for the safety board as well as begin cleanup.
