Abstract

The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System (ISEGS), located on I-15 about 40 miles (60 km) south of Las Vegas, NV, consists of three power towers 459 ft (140 m) tall and over 170,000 reflective heliostats [...]

Abstract

It is well known from the literature that road lighting has significant safety benefits. The NZTA Economic Evaluation Manual (EEM) quotes a 35% reduction in crashes as the effect of upgrading or improving lighting where lighting is poor.However, no well-established dose–response [...]

Abstract

This paper outlines aspects, outcome and prospects of full integration of antennas into structural elements of aircraft, from a structural design perspective.

Abstract

Fibre Metal Laminate materials, like Glass Laminate Aluminum Reinforced Epoxy (GLARE), provide a unique opportunity to integrate patch antennas directly into the fuselage of aircraft. This integration will contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions of aircraft due to the reduction [...]

Abstract

A substantial contribution to reduce the aerodynamic drag and consequent CO2 and NOx emissions is to integrate communication antennas in the aircraft structure. This paper presents a GLARE fuselage panel design for an integrated VHF slot antenna and discusses [...]

Abstract

Two antenna designs are described that are both fully integrated into Fiber Metal Laminate fuselage panels. Full integration in this context means that the antennas are flush with the fuselage skin on the outside of the aero structure, while maintaining the structural properties of [...]
