A key question when exploring hydrogen-based propulsion architectures: energy density, efficiency, fuel storage… all parameters that directly affect the mass, volume, and overall performance of the aircraft. With 𝗔𝗗𝗦, it becomes possible to rapidly assess: • The impact of fuel cell performance (efficiency, specific power) on system mass and dimensions, • The characteristics of hydrogen tanks depending on storage mode (high pressure or liquid), • And their consequences on overall performance and payload capability. In just a few iterations, 𝗔𝗗𝗦 provides a clear, quantitative view of the feasibility of a technological scenario — whether it involves fuel cells, batteries, turbogenerators, or other innovations — and helps identify critical maturity thresholds for integration. The answer to this question might surprise you… #Hydrogen #FuelCells #Aerospace #ADS #AircraftDesignSoftware #OAD #EnergyPerformance #ZeroEmission #Innovation #SystemsEngineering #ModelBasedDesign #Technology

Dust may seem harmless, but it’s one of the toughest challenges turbine engines face.

💡 Smarter Compaction Starts Here Every road, embankment, and foundation depends on one thing - soil compaction. Yet, traditional testing methods like nuclear density gauges only test tiny sections of a site (less than 0.05%). That means missed weak spots, costly rework, and project delays. There’s a smarter way. Intelligent Compaction (IC) uses sensors, GPS, and real-time data to deliver 100% coverage and live quality control - turning guesswork into actionable insights.

Rocket base plate heating remains one of the most critical challenges in the design of launch vehicles. Since the base plate is located upstream, radiation is the dominant mode of heat transfer until the plume begins to recirculate. The heating primarily arises from the emission of high-temperature gases and particles within the exhaust plume, which can significantly impact the launch pad electronics and even the payload onboard the rocket. Hence, accurate estimation of this radiative heating is essential for ensuring reliability and safety. In our recent work (https://lnkd.in/gnR2nVCm), we have taken an important first step toward quantifying base plate heating for a hydrogen-fueled Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME). The next major challenge lies in extending this study to accurately predict base plate heating in solid rocket motors (SRMs), where the combined effects of radiation, soot, and particle interactions make the problem even more complex and fascinating.
