Mitigating Information Overload in Aviation Safety: AI-Driven Hierarchical Tagging and Summarization of NOTAM for Pre-flight Information Bulletin

To address the challenges of aviation safety information overload in Pre-flight Information Bulletin (PIB) systems, this study proposes an intelligent classification framework (ERNIE-DPCNN) that integrates knowledge-enha…

Future Directions of Space Education

The future of space operations graduate education is reliant on industry leaders’ contributions to help forecast the needs of the industry.

Heat Generation of Aircraft Tires at Landing

When the aircraft lands on a runway, the great speed difference between tires and runway causes non-negligible friction and speeds up wheels.

Towards a hybrid comfortable passenger cabin interior for the flying V aircraft

The Flying-V is a V-shaped airplane in development, which uses less fuel due its form. Passengers are in the oval cabin in the wing, which asks for an alternative design to the interior.

Open-ended capstone project: designing and manufacturing of a low-cost carbon fiber reinforced composite suborbital rocket payload housing using a 3D printed core

Composite materials are utilized in many industries today due to its high performance and lightweight. However, the part manufacturing process of traditional composites is complicated and often involves high cost.
