Aerodynamics Effect of Holes in UAV Wings Modified for VTOL Capability

Laith S. Sawaqed et al.

Summary: This research explores the possibility of modifying the X8 Skywalker from a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle into a convertiplane. Computational fluid dynamics and wind tunnel experiments were conducted to analyze the performance of different wing configurations. The results indicate that the proposed modifications can generate enough lift despite reducing the wing area, with the filleted hole configuration demonstrating less drag and turbulence effects at low angles of attack.

Mitigating carbon emissions through sustainable aviation fuels: costs and potential

Rafael S. Capaz et al.

Summary: In general, certified pathways for sustainable aviation fuels are not yet competitive with fossil kerosene, but certain options such as hydrotreatment of soybean oil, palm oil, used cooking oil, and beef tallow show potential. Among the pathways evaluated, residue-based options have lower mitigation costs, especially compared to 1G ethanol options like sugarcane ethanol. Mitigation costs of SAFs are currently much higher than carbon market prices, but SAFs could still play an important role in achieving aviation sector emissions goals.

Principles for the application of life cycle sustainability assessment

Sonia Valdivia et al.

Summary: This paper aims to establish principles for increasing the application of Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA) and introduces ten LCSA principles to promote more and better applications. However, more consensus-building and technical policy recommendations are needed to consolidate the use of LCSA.
