The Race For The Future Of Aircraft SeatingTorben Haagh
ย
The benefits of reducing the basic empty weight of commercial aircrafts are widespread and there for have become a high priority for airline manufactures. Any design that results in a reduced basic empty weight (BEW), or an overall reduction in weight of the aircraft will reduce the amount of fuel required to operate a commercial aircraft and thus the cost of fuel.

EMAS - Engineered Material Arrestor System (seminar ppt) Chinnu Mohanan
ย
The purpose of an Engineered Material Arresting System (EMAS) is to stop an aircraft overrun with no human injury and minimal aircraft damage. The aircraft is slowed by the loss of energy required to crush the EMAS material. An EMAS is similar in concept to the runaway truck ramp made of gravel or sand. It is intended to stop aircraft that have overshot a runway when there is an insufficient free space for a standard runway safety area (RSA).

Structural Weight Optimization of Aircraft Wing Component Using FEM Approach.IJERA Editor
ย
One of the main challenges for the civil aviation industry is the reduction of its environmental impact by better fuel efficiency by virtue of Structural optimization. Over the past years, improvements in performance and fuel efficiency have been achieved by simplifying the design of the structural components and usage of composite materials to reduce the overall weight of the structure. This paper deals with the weight optimization of transport aircraft with low wing configuration. The Linear static and Normal Mode analysis were carried out using MSc Nastran & Msc Patran under different pressure conditions and the results were verified with the help of classical approach. The Stress and displacement results were found and verified and hence arrived to the conclusion about the optimization of the wing structure.

Cracking the Workplace Discipline Code Main.pptxWorkforce Group
ย
Cultivating and maintaining discipline within teams is a critical differentiator for successful organisations.
Forward-thinking leaders and business managers understand the impact that discipline has on organisational success. A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. Youโll also learn
โข Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
โข The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
โข Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.

a. Aircraft ventilation and air circulation per person rates are
lower than in any other public indoor environment.
b. High aircraft cabin occupancy density creates peak occupant
generated pathogen and VOC exposures sooner than in any
other public indoor environment.
c. Ceiling supply air diffusers are remote from perimeter seats,
exacerbating the pathogen and VOC exposure loads in near

a. Fire in the cavity behind the liner currently cannot be
extinguished using Halon as phosgene will be produced
which could enter the cabin and kill the occupants.
b. Smoke in the cavity behind the liner can enter into the cabin.
c. Smoke, biological and chemical agents released in the
occupied space currently can only be exhausted at the floor in
most aircraft. This is inefficient as convection currents tend to
move these agents in the opposite direction.

The generally accepted minimum relative humidity for comfort is 20% to 65%. The
optimal relative humidity range for health is 40-50%. Typically neither of
these ranges are met in aircraft for two reasons:
a. The low moisture content of the ventilation air creates aircraft occupied
space humidities of 10% or lower, during international flights. Such low
occupied space humidity can cause respiratory and eye discomfort. For
some with respiratory problems, it can result in acute health problems.
b. Aircraft occupied spaces generally are not humidified. This is because
humid cabin air passes through openings in the occupied space liner
onto the cold fuselage behind. Here the moisture condenses creating a
number of problems. These include added dead weight, deterioration of
the insulation, wiring and fuselage, microbial growth and drips through
the liner onto the occupants and furnishings below.

Stack Pressure = Air density *
(Ti-To) * H/2
Figure 4. STACK PRESSURES create air circulation flows between
the occupied space and the fuselage cavity behind the liner. This air
circulation deposits occupied space air humidity as condensate on the cold
fuselage. Stack pressures are created by the thermal gradient between the
occupied space and the outdoor air, which can exceed 70 Celsius degrees during
cruise.

take-off with the fuselage heated in a summer sun. Other fuselage VOC sources

AIRCRAFT VENTILATION DESIGN CHALLENGE #6
Thermal discomfort
a. On the ground, during boarding and prior to take-off, aircraft
occupied spaces can be uncomfortably warm. In part this is
because the aluminum skin and cavity behind the liner heat
rapidly in the sun to temperatures well in excess of 100F. The
forced air circulation cannot keep up with this thermal load.
b. In the air during cruise, the cavity behind the liner cools
under external temperatures in excess of โ50 F, reaching its
cold soak condition in about an hour. This can make for cool
occupied spaces, particularly under low occupancies and
during sleeping periods on international flights.
Table 8. Occupied space thermal discomfort is caused in part
by high fuselage external thermal loads.
