COMPOSITES ICARUS SERIES

Read: NASA calls to industry to develop new flight technologies to reduce carbon emissions To demonstrate the maturity of all enabling technologies, both companies are working closely together: ArianeGroup will focus on innovative stage architectures and system integration, while MT Aerospace concentrates on materials and technologies for composite tanks and structures under cryogenic conditions. In 2021, these technologies will be integrated into an upper stage demonstrator to prove system compatibility with fuels, including liquid oxygen and hydrogen on a large scale, and to demonstrate filling and draining processes and integrity of the primary and secondary structures. The PHOEBUS project reportedly will increase the readiness level of an improved upper stage for the Ariane 6 launcher, with respect to cost/weight savings and stage performance improvements, including a payload capacity increase by around 2 metric tons for geostationary orbit. According to MT Aerospace, composite technologies will be explored and used in the project. MT Aerospace and ArianeGroup are combining their resources to design and test the “Prototype of a Highly OptimizEd Black Upper Stage,” or PHOEBUS. Death’s Door, The Forgotten City, ICARUS, Elden Ring, Sifu, Stranger of Paradise: FFO, Hogwarts Legacy, Starfield, and other AAA and indie game. This is not only an all-out US entry into Class 40 and ocean racing arena, but an all-Rhode Island entry too.The European Space Agency (ESA Paris, France) signed contracts on May 14 with MT Aerospace AG (Augsburg, Germany) and ArianeGroup (Bremen, Germany) for advancement of aerospace technologies related to the Ariane 6 launch vehicle. Advanced crafting material that can be smelted at the. Steve Koopman, Dirk Kramers’ partner in SDK Structures has worked with Ross to engineer advanced light, durable hull and appendage structures with materials from Rich O’Meara’s ROM Composites of Newport. Design partner, Ross Weene has worked wonders (and long hours) to complete this program efficiently and accurately. We were on our way and sent the surface files to Goetz Custom for computer cutting. It was faster in the weather matrix and RMD’s own RTW test by a greater margin than all the others. If it did, we could leave it all to the machines!Īn intuition that a subtle step further was needed, led to the final hull choice. Of course it doesn’t take into account sea conditions, exhaustion, broken gear and the indefinable issue of seakindliness. This allows the boat to choose the location and amount of ballast (including ballast to leeward or empty) to give the boat its best performance in every wind strength and direction. For these three exploratory types, we used a ‘parent/child’ annex to our Velocity Prediction Program (VPP). A third boat tested was between these extremes. Bonehead Composites is an industry leader in composite aerospace technology specializing in skydiving. The other extreme was considerably narrower than the maximum, with a single rudder, lighter hull and a higher ballast-ratio, both to the minimum displacement.

Class 40 is a ‘box rule,’ so we investigated one shape overtly maximized to the box.

To begin the design process we decided to test a series of hulls in a weather matrix for the race as well as a long-race performance predicition tool developed in-house by RMD.
