Crack detection on hc-130h aircraft using low frequency eddy current...method was developed at the Federal Aviation Administration's Airworthiness Assurance NDI Validation Center (AANC) to easily and rapidly detect subsurface fatigue cracks in the wheel well fairing on the US Coast Guard (USCG) HC-130H aircraft caused by fatigue....
Method for cavity noise reduction... The mesh material alters the flow of air across the opening of the landing gear cavity and significantly reduces the amount of noise produced by the wheel well at low-to-mid frequencies
Understanding columbia's reentry problems... The results of the modeling showed that at this location, the high temperature, high velocity gas stream entering the wing cavity impinged on the outboard wheel well cavity....
A case for replacing steel with glass-mat thermoplastic composites in spare-wheel well applicationsThis paper will discuss the use of glass-mat-thermoplastic (GMT) composite to replace steel in spare-wheel wells (SWW) by European automakers and tier suppliers....
