Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPresentation of Romanian Engineers who Contributed to the Development of Global Aeronautics – Part IRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Bilal Akash et al.It is said that "the Romanian is born poet". And so it is, but we could say rather that "the Romanian is born and an engineer", having deeply embedded himself, the vocation of the builder, the innovator, the inventor. The great cathedrals, the beautiful monasteries built, or even the churches and churches (built or wooden) clearly show this vocation. After … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 1 Dec 2017 · 7,278 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Modern FlightRelly Victoria Petrescu, Florian Ion Tiberiu Petrescu, Antonio Apicella et al.A modern flight involves both a great flight quality and high safety throughout. You can’t speak of a quality of flight today unless it provides increased comfort to all passengers in full safety and relaxation. Regardless of the aircraft design type, a minimum level of comfort is required in the passenger cabin so that they feel safe, comfortable, quiet, plus … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 19 Oct 2017 · 8,318 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAbout HelicoptersRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Bilal Akash et al.A helicopter is a type of rotorcraft in which lift and thrust are supplied by one or more engine-driven rotors. In contrast with fixed-wing aircraft, this allows the helicopter to take off and land vertically, to hover and to fly forwards, backward and laterally. These attributes allow helicopters to be used in congested or isolated areas where fixed-wing aircraft would … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 9 Sep 2017 · 15,671 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSome Special AircraftRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Bilal Akash et al.In this study, the authors want to present a few more distinct aircraft from a constructive and functional point of view. Their role has often been determined by the need to achieve or fulfill certain more or less strategic objectives. Such ships will also be built in the future more and more often in order to be able to respond … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 19 Aug 2017 · 7,458 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Overview of the Application of Neural Networks in Orbit OptimizationPratiksha Devshali Bhavsar, Deepti PalThe idea of neural networks has emerged in recent times and has shown great results in complex and nonlinear systems. Many aerospace engineering areas like autonomous systems, adaptive control, and flight dynamics modeling can be better handled with neural networks. Selecting an orbit that consumes the fewest resources and reduces expenditure can broadly be called orbit optimization. In this study, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 6 Feb 2025 · 4,764 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstract4D Printing: Technology Overview and Smart Materials UtilizedAntreas Kantaros, Theodore Ganetsos, Dimitrios Piromalis4D printing is a cutting-edge technology that allows for the creation of dynamic, self-assembling structures by utilizing cutting edge, newly introduced smart materials. It builds upon traditional 3D printing by adding the dimension of time, allowing printed objects to change shape or behavior over time. This is achieved through the use of smart materials, such as shape memory alloys or … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 13 Mar 2023 · 14,196 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstract3D and 4D Printing as Integrated Manufacturing Methods of Industry 4.0Antreas Kantaros, Theodore Ganetsos, Dimitrios Piromalis3D printing, also known under the term additive manufacturing, is a technology that allows the creation of complex and highly detailed objects using a digital model and a number of materials, such as plastics, metals, and ceramics. 4D printing is an expansion of 3D printing that incorporates time, meaning that the material used in 3D printing can change shape or … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 4 Mar 2023 · 8,133 accessesView PDFCite
