EU FP7 ACHEON Project Potential Application to Air Transport
Jet deflection systems are important to define novel concepts of air vehicle with enhanced performances, manoeuvrability shorter take off and landing spaces: It will permit to explore radical new concept of aerial vehicle and to give a realization to some very advanced concepts which have been intuited during the history of aviation but couldn’t be […]
EU FP7 ACHEON Project: Plasma Enhanced Actuator for Coanda Effect
PEACE Concept The second IDEA originating the ACHEON project is in the PEACE system which is in a very preliminary stage of development. It is the PEACE project started at Universidade da Beira Interior. PEACE is the acronym of Plasma Enhanced Actuator for Coanda Effect. PEACE aims to produce an active control of the Coanda […]
H.O.M.E.R.: The Idea Originating the FP7 ACHEON Project
H.O.M.E.R. nozzle concept produces a fully controllable flux, with the ability to maintain a predefined direction and to change this direction arbitrarily as a function of momentum (or velocity) of two primitive streams and of the geometric configuration of the nozzle itself. Figure 1 shows the architecture of the nozzle. It can have any […]
