Advanced aircraft seat design : the webbing concept
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
Air travel is so common in this day and age that any significant improvement in seat comfort on board a commercial passenger jet is likely to affect almost everybody. A proposed design concept in this project is the use ...
Development of a design environment for integrated concurrent engineering (DE-ICE) in university education : integrating student designers, design tools, and active learning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
The development of an operational framework for a design center to enhance learning in MIT's Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics is described. The results of research at MIT, which included a survey of students and ...
Skymark selection algorithm for a space-based navigational concept
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
The angles-only navigational concept envisions using orbiting satellites and other space objects as a set of moving landmarks, or skymarks, to improve upon an observer's knowledge of its position in space. This is accomplished ...
Advanced aircraft seat design : solving the problem of rearward space intrusion with a sliding-out seat back
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
An aircraft economy-class seat that reclines via a sliding-out backrest was designed, fabricated and tested for comparison with a baseline aircraft seat. The goal was to design a seat that was at least as comfortable as ...
Architectural framework to support integrated concurrent engineering in an academic institution
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
This thesis focuses on developing a recommended architecture for the next generation of design centers for integrated concurrent engineering in an academic environment and identifying and implementing an enabling sub-system ...
Exploring fast package delivery from a systems perspective
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
Fast Package Delivery refers to the transportation of freight over transoceanic distances in a period of hours, and provides opportunity for synergistic development with reusable launch vehicle and supersonic transportation ...
Development of a design environment for integrated concurrent engineering in academia
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
Dynamic stability analysis of a multi-stage axial compressor with design implications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
The parent-child unmanned air vehicle concept study
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
The Parent Child Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (PCUAV) concept was developed within the context of the MIT Draper Technology Development Partnership Project. A desire at Draper Laboratory to build a fixed wing surveillance ...
Advanced aircraft seat design : designing features for improving comfort and ergonomy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
This design project examines scientific, creative and innovative means to improve passenger comfort in commercial airplane tourist-class seats during long haul flights. These means have been studied, designed, manufactured ...
