...Ionel Botef Purpose – This paper aims to explore how the emerging cold spray technology could be integrated within a framework that finally could lead to more efficient aerospace operations. Design/methodology/approach – The paper builds research question and hypotheses and answers them...

...Riti Singh; Howard Smith Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore some of the challenges associated with the integration of an LH2-fuelled advanced hybrid-electric distributed propulsion system with the airframe. The airframe chosen as a case study is an ultra-high-capacity blended wing...

...Yu Jie; Wang Xinlong; Ji Jiaxing Purpose The purpose of this paper is to improve the tracking performance of the carrier phase lock loop (PLL) in the strapdown inertial navigation system/global positioning system (SINS/GPS) integrated system with an innovative scheme of ultra‐tight integration...

... third era. Two principal driving forces underpin this third era. It has been argued that human factors alone cannot improve the operational efficiency of an aeroplane (Harris, 2006). A wider, “system perspective” is required. During the later 1990s, the notion of human factors integration (HFI) began...
