AC 2011-2787: A COMBINED CURRICULUM IN AEROSPACE AND OCEANENGINEERING38 YEARS LATERLeigh S McCue, Virginia TechJoseph A Schetz, Virginia Tech Dr. Joseph A. Schetz is currently the Holder of the Fred D. Durham Chair in Aerospace and Ocean Engineering at Virginia Tech, in Blacksburg, Virginia. Dr. Schetz was born and raised in New Jersey and then attended Webb Institute of Naval Architecture in New York receiving a BS in 1958. The launch of Sputnik in 1957 caused him to change directions and enter the aerospace field. He went on to receive his MSE (1960), MA (1961) and PhD (1962) in Mechanical Engineering from Princeton University. He started his professional career at General Applied Science Lab. in New York in 1961

range of 35 ft/s ~ 40 ft/s, slow enough to allow the wireless video system to stream video. The aircraft should have good dynamic stability in all axes, and the neutral point should be far enough aft of the CG to facilitate a large static margin for good longitudinal static stability.The students decided that a flying wing configuration would satisfy these basic design criteria.The flying wing configuration allowed simplified analysis, design and fabrication as well asproviding a lightweight and aerodynamically efficient platform. A flying wing produces liftmore efficiently than a conventional aircraft configuration of wings, fuselage, and tail. Sinceweight is one of the primary concerns in the aircraft design, the flying

Problem statement, from Acierno [4] The drag of the equivalent body of revolution can be computed using Von Karman’s formula: (3.1) Where S(x) is the function describing the equivalent body of revolution in terms of normal cross-sectional area vs. location along the x axis. S can be derived from the oblique cross sections obtained by the intersection of Mach planes with the wing-body combination through (3.2) Where s is defined as the area intersected by the oblique Mach planes. As detailed in reference 5, S’(x

place on 9 November1961 with the SUMPA (Southampton University´s Man Powered Aircraft). Perhaps the best-known achievements of human-powered flights were crossing the English Channel (35.8 km) byBryan Allen pedaling the Gossamer Albatross on June 12, 1979, and later on April 23, 1988Kanellos Kanellopoulos established a distance record pedaling the Daedalus 88 from Crete toSantorini (119 km). Implementation of the herein suggested inflatable structure would reducethe weight of these competition aircrafts. The Gossamer Albatross weighed 32 kilograms and theDaedalus 88 weighed 31 kilograms.Currently the UK Royal Aeronautical Society organizes two human-powered flight competitionswith prizes of £50,000 and £100,000, see reference [12].

Topics covered included: • Familiarity with NI LabView (implemented during the laboratory period) o Taught in four lectures with an application orientation. o Students learned LabView by writing an acquisition code for an ATI 6- component platform type balance. o Teaching approach was minimalistic such that students would need to explore the numerous menu options to find suitable VIs to perform a desired task. Note that a suggested approach to implementing the VI(s) was presented
